Rip-Stop is a unique way of weaving textiles. This is done by adding a thicker fiber to the fabric at certain intervals, which then creates a grid in the fabric.
This lattice ensures the strength of the fabric and the material can be torn but not completely torn.
This material was created during World War II where it was used for parachutes. Nowadays it is used for example for hot air balloons.
