What is Ripstop Canvas? How its made & What does GSM Mean

Posted by Aaron Fogarty · June 29, 2023

Ripstop canvas, weighing 420gsm (grams per square meter), is a durable fabric made by weaving high-quality yarns into a dense material. Its unique grid pattern with thicker reinforcement threads prevents tears from spreading. Waterproofing canvas is essential to protect items from moisture damage and prolong the fabric's lifespan. Wetting down the canvas and letting it bake in the sun is a traditional method that enhances water resistance. When wet, the canvas fibers swell and tighten, creating a barrier against water. The sun's heat aids in drying, further improving water repellency.
