Ripstop Work Jackets

For environments where snagging hazards are everywhere - such as scaffolding, demolition sites, or working amongst protruding nails - a ripstop jacket is a long-term investment. The "ripstop" name refers to a specialized weaving technique where thick reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a cross-hatch pattern. If the jacket gets snagged, this grid pattern stops the tear from spreading, limiting the damage to a tiny square rather than a ruined coat.

This technology significantly extends the lifespan of your workwear, saving you money. Ripstop jackets are typically lightweight yet incredibly tough, offering superior resistance to abrasion compared to standard polyester. They are a favourite for arborists, site managers, and groundworkers who need a jacket that can take a beating and keep on performing season after season.
