Recycled ripstop keeps up in every season

Summer hiking is relatively forgiving on gear. Dry trails, more predictable footing, and warmer temperatures to help gear dry faster. 

Fall can be a different story in many areas of the world. Cooling temperatures paired with rainy weather means that gear gets wet more frequently, and it doesn't dry as quickly. Temperature swings can also stress seams and stitching, and fabric expands and contracts as it goes from cold mornings to warmer afternoons. This is harder on cheap fabrics than it is on materials built for durability. 

The ripstop difference

Ripstop fabric is woven with a reinforcing pattern. It has thicker threads at consistent intervals, and these are shaped into a grid that you can see or feel. If the fabric snags on a rock or branch, or a dog tooth, the grid stops a small tear from spreading into a larger one. 

That matters more in the fall, because snags can happen more often when trails are covered in debris like fallen leaves. 

Not all ripstop is created equally

The recycled 210D ripstop that we use was trail-tested over hundreds of miles. It's made from plastic bottles and scrap material that would have ended up in landfills. The result: a fabric that's lightweight, durable, and planet-friendly. And, it doesn't need to be replaced every year. 

Fall adventures bring brilliant colors, cooler temperatures, and different views. Our gear will keep up just the same.
