Ep. 132 - Fabric Draft 2025: Who Has the Strongest Roster?

It’s draft day at   Ripstop on the Record! In this episode, we sit down with Francesca Hall and Ryan Campbell for the very first   Fabric Draft. Each person builds a six-category roster of technical fabrics, covering packs, bags, quilts/sleeping systems, shelters, apparel, and mesh in a snake-style draft.

Which fabrics made the cut? Which powerhouse materials were left on the table? And who built the strongest lineup? From classics like 1000D Cordura® and Silpoly XL to cutting-edge picks like ULTRA™ 200 and Polartec® Alpha Direct with Wool, this episode is a fun (and competitive) deep dive into the world of performance textiles.
