Trusted by makers for its balance of strength, water repellency, and versatility. ## Description The polyester ripstop fabric is a durable and synthetic fabric that is perfect for all types of indoor and outdoor use. This fabric is 200 denier, 100% polyester with a moderate stiff finish and 58/60” inches wide. It is a light-weight fabric with special fibers used within the weave at specific points, allowing for the fabric to have superior quality and hold against all types of damage and tear. This fabric is also coated with a nanotechnology film called DWR (durable water repellent). DWR allows for the ripstop to be water-repellent, withstanding above-average water exposures. The polyester ripstop is also very malleable, allowing for a great deal of adaptability. And because it is a polyester, it naturally dries quicker oppose to the nylon dwr, as polyester fibers do not absorb water. Alongside this, it is has a more distinct feel and hold, being heavier and having more structure to it. The polyester ripstop fabric can be used for kites, flags, banners, camping equipment, tents, hammocks, pants, sleeping bags, windbreakers and more. Ripstop fabric is extremely versatile in its applications and can be used for mass production or simple everyday projects. Review: This is some great fabric! - The first thing I always do with new fabrics is test it and test it I did. I turned on the kitchen faucet with great water pressure and held the Ottertex under the water for something like 5 seconds and turned it around and did the same thing to the other side. A quick snap of the fabric and it was DRY, Fantastic! and a little hard to believe. I use this 200D to line my pouches and bags I fabricate for easier sight recognition of what I put into the pockets. Its also comforting to know when caught in the rain or a quick accidental trip in the river, lol, my electronics will be safe and not instantly damaged. For the price range of this fabric it is very impressive material. Looking forward to my next purchase! Update, 7/22/24. My second order and still great fabric for pouch and bag lining, waterproof, light weight and strong! Review: Great fabric quick delivery. - This Ottertex was an awesome little pice of fabric! I sewed it over my Horses blanket. It made it totally waterproof. ## Features - 100% Polyester Ripstop 200 Denier Fabric ; Ripstop is a light-weight interwoven fabric, using special synthetic fibers to create a square like pattern.

My second order and still great fabric for pouch and bag lining, waterproof, light weight and strong! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fabric quick delivery. *by W***R on April 7, 2025* This Ottertex was an awesome little pice of fabric! I sewed it over my Horses blanket. It made it totally waterproof. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Ideal for Heavy-Duty Use *by T***R on October 30, 2025* I was hoping for a thicker material to use for extending an annex to a rooftop tent, but this fabric turned out to be thinner than expected. It does seem durable and would probably work well for lighter projects, like making a tablecloth or other indoor/outdoor coverings. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ottertex® Polyester Ripstop Fabric (DWR) 200 Denier 6.6oz 58/60" Wide Waterproof Tent Water Repellent Dustproof Airtight Inflatable Flag Tarp Cover Excellent Fabric for Kites (Charcoal, 1 Yard) - 9KM DWLIFE Fabric, Dark Green Waterproof Ripstop Nylon Fabric 40D, 60x39 Inches, Lightweight, PU Coating, Airtight Fabric for Kite, Tent, Flag, Bag, Tarp Cover, DIY Project - sheelokhwui Precut Nylon Fabric (2 Yard x 57 inch) - Water Repellent Ripstop Fabric, Lightweight, Du-Rable - Used for Covers, Flag, Sacks, Upholstery, Tent, Tarps, Kite, Craft and DIY - Turquoise --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/574672481-ottertex-polyester-ripstop-fabric-water-repellent-heavy-duty-outdoor-lightweight](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/574672481-ottertex-polyester-ripstop-fabric-water-repellent-heavy-duty-outdoor-lightweight) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
