ripstop nylon

It was 1999, and I found a black, ankle-length skirt made of ripstop nylon, with big cargo pockets and a crinkly elastic waistband, on the clearance rack.

Made from ripstop nylon with no lapels, it included sleeves that could be unzipped to transform the jacket into a vest.

Each bag is made of recycled ripstop nylon, folds into a flat 5-inch by 5-inch pouch and is durable enough to carry 50 pounds.

Its ripstop nylon door was zipped shut and leaves were mounded against the side.

Beyond the plastic you save by using a tote, the standard Baggu is constructed with a ripstop nylon that is 40 percent recycled material.
