Ripstop structure improves the durability of shell clothing

Action Ripstop brings top-level functionality to workwear fabrics.

Foxa's brand new Action Ripstop fabric is woven with a ripstop structure that significantly increases the fabric's strength. The fabric is particularly well suited for shell clothing and jackets. The ripstop squares in Action Ripstop are 3.5 mmx 3.5 mm, which gives the fabric an appealing, rugged look.



The fabric is 10kx10k grade, which means that it has a water resistance of 10,000 mm (EN ISO 811) and a water vapour permeability of 10,000g/m2/24h (JIS L1099-2012, B1). Action Ripstop has good breaking and tear resistance and also fares well in abrasion tests: its abrasion resistance value with the Martindale test method is over 150,000 cycles.



Arction Ripstop is a polyester fabric laminated with a breathable polyurethane film. The fabric weighs 260g/m2 and is available directly from Foxa's stock in certified high-visibility colours yellow and orange.



Action Ripstop is part of Foxa's own Action collection, which includes a wide variety of waterproof and breathable fabrics. Read more about the Action collection at: https://www.foxa.fi/tuotteet#category:6
