Hi Dave

As Ron mentioned, Rip Stop is very important.

If you accidentally get a small tear in plain nylon, it will continue to tear and grow in size very easily. Rip Stop nylon has an interwoven mesh, a bit like a reinforcing grid pattern, so that if you puncture the material, it will generally only tear as far as the nearest mesh reinforcement thread.

I discovered this to my cost, and immense discomfort, by mistakenly using a cheap waterproof anorak in the Scottish mountains one winter……..

Cheers
