Easy to assemble, results in a very lightweight fanny pack. I really love how the blue stands out - will hopefully help me to not lose it in the woods. :)

So many choices for fabric and I can customize my gear the sizes that I need!

Now if I can just get a "heads up" on how many layers of 5 ounce does it take to stop a 9mm round....22 or 44?

This kit made a nice rain cover for my Osprey Exos 48L pack. The material is slippery so just be patient when you are sewing and use lots of clips. Had material left over so I made drawstring bags for my tent poles and z-fold sit mat.

Some of my UL packs are for moonshots…they are super light (6-7 ounces) and not expected to last beyond the hike. Scrub 1.1 ounce silnyl over New England granite and you’ll understand. My other packs are built to last and weigh about a pound with 210 gridstop. Challenge 100 falls right in there to build a 16 ounce full sized pack…BUT unbelievably STRONG. Gridstop is good, but twice the weight of Challenge with less strength and abrasion resistance.

This tape works well, is easy to use and cures super strong, can be heat pressed at lower temps.

The customer service and variety of material from RBTR are fantastic. This was my second DIY project -sewing a winter over-quilt with the Apex 3.6 and 1.1 oz ripstop. Fun project for a novice and final quilt is so nice. Thanks Kyle!

Got the hoodie pattern and 2 yards of Alpha Direct. Two yards was plenty. I had to re-do the hood and still had some extra fabric at the end. I got a couple yards of light fleece from the discount bin at the local Joanne's to practice on. The pattern was accurate size-wise to I went for it with the Alpha Direct. I used a standard machine and with zig zag. The AD was pretty easy to sew and the project came out great. Had to watch the video a few times, especially the bit about facing on the hood. Super happy with the material. It's very warm and light and I've used it a couple times already.

I am making my wife a light weight quilt for Christmas. She can't stand pressure on her feet at night but needs to stay warm. I am using nylon taffeta outer material and 0.5 oz NS50 Noseeum Mesh as a web to make a V-tube construction with 900 fill power down for insulation. The materials I bought from Ripstop ByThe Roll are working great. I have not found any flaws in the fabrics. I am happy I can design a camping item, and in this case a home use item, and then find the fabrics I need at Ripstop. Without you, I could not achieve my dreams.

I used the down to upgrade a sleeping bag that had only 8.5 ounces of down, and now has 14.5 ounces. The warmth rating now should move from comfort 41/32 low to comfort 32/20 low.

I haven't used it all yet but I've added some down to a baffle I accidentally ripped on a HG quilt and am waiting on some tenacious tape to finish the rest. 3oz seemed like not a lot of down when I ordered but once I started filling the baffle I realized a little goes a long ways. My 0 degree quilt came with 12oz to begin with so an added 3oz will be a significant upgrade in keeping the down in place. I'll update as time goes on with my project that I'm doing.

Unless you have access to a wide format printer, this template is a must, especially if you want or plan to make more than one. I have made three and the template quality will certainly last for many more.

Absolutely LOVE how the print turned out! I've already recommended this to friends for their endeavors. Very bright and crisp colors. Can't wait to see it in the air once my kite is finished!

These guys are the best. I've bought all of my kitebuilding fabric from them for over 20 years and never a disappointment.

This product was easier to use and less likely to peel than the Dyneema Repair Tape. However, when used on 0.3-1.43 DCF gears, the cross marks still show through (^ ^;

Material is fine. Exactly what I ordered.

I got the hex12 kit with Silpoly XL and am very happy with the outcome. The instructions help guide you through the process of making the tarp, and the kit comes with enough hardware to support a variety of designs of tarp to give you flexiblity for what you want to build.

good

I ordered the Alpha Raglan Hoodie Pattern and the Custom Sample Pack. Via the pattern, I stitched a fleece hoodie which I love. With the sample pack, I now know which fabric I want to use. Thank you Ripstop by the Roll!!

I’ve wanted to tweak some of my own gear and decided to flip the DYI switch. I found a machine on Craigslist but for a few dollars more I decided to get one new from a great company. Thanks guys!

PET Tape is absolutely the best way to seal seams. Unlike liquids and pastes It is unobtrusive, consistent and uniform. It adds a professional touch to DIY projects. More than anything else, it works to keep water from penetrating seams. Besides all that, it is easy to apply. WIN WIN WIN

The zipper pouch kit was so easy to make with most everything ready to sew when it arrives at your door.
