360T Matte Nylon Ripstop Fabric with W/R – CC-2076

360T Matte Nylon Ripstop Fabric with W/R – CC-2076

Matte nylon ripstop fabric CC-2076 is made for products where every gram matters, but the surface should still look considered rather than fragile. Weighing only 49 GSM, it combines a fine 30D nylon construction with a visible ripstop grid and a restrained matte appearance.

The fabric uses 100% nylon in a 30D × 30D construction. Its 360T specification creates a compact surface, while the low-gloss character gives finished garments a quieter appearance than bright or highly reflective shell fabrics. A water-repellent finish provides practical protection from light surface moisture.

Why Choose Matte Nylon Ripstop Fabric?

Many ultralight synthetic fabrics immediately look technical because of their shine. CC-2076 takes a more understated direction. Its matte surface works well for outdoor and travel garments where designers want lightweight performance without an overly glossy appearance.

The ripstop grid adds subtle visual structure and helps restrict the spread of a small tear if the fabric is accidentally punctured. Ripstop does not make the material indestructible, and final tear strength should still be tested according to the intended product.

For buyers comparing matte nylon ripstop fabric, the combination of 49 GSM weight and a 30D yarn specification makes CC-2076 particularly relevant to garments designed for portability, layering and compact storage.

49 GSM for Packable Outerwear

A lightweight jacket should disappear into a backpack when it is not needed, yet still feel useful when the weather changes. CC-2076 is designed around that kind of application.

For brands sourcing 49 GSM matte nylon ripstop fabric for packable windbreakers, it may be considered for:

• Ultralight windbreakers
• Packable travel jackets
• Running and cycling shells
• Lightweight outdoor garment panels
• Emergency or backup outer layers
• Compact bags and storage pouches
• Lightweight accessory components
• Selected insulated garment shells

Its 148 cm finished width provides a practical starting point for garment cutting. Buyers should confirm usable width and edge condition before calculating final consumption.

Because the fabric is very light, seam construction deserves particular attention. Needle size, thread selection and stitch density can influence seam strength, puckering and the overall appearance of the finished garment.

What Does 360T Indicate?

The 360T description is commonly used to identify a fine, compact fabric construction. It helps buyers distinguish this material from more open or coarser lightweight fabrics, but the number alone should not be treated as a guarantee of windproofness, tear strength or air permeability.

This 30D high-density nylon ripstop fabric for ultralight jackets should be evaluated using the performance standards required by the project. Relevant tests may include air permeability, tensile strength, tear strength, seam slippage and dimensional stability.

The actual surface character can also change slightly according to colour. Dark shades often emphasize the matte appearance and ripstop grid, while pale colours may reveal more light transmission. Full-width sample yardage is therefore more informative than a small swatch when opacity is important.

Water Repellency Without Unnecessary Bulk

The W/R finish helps droplets remain on the surface instead of being absorbed immediately. This makes CC-2076 suitable as a water-repellent 360T nylon fabric for running and travel shells exposed to occasional drizzle or splashes.

W/R does not mean waterproof. The fabric has no confirmed waterproof rating based on the information provided, and water can enter through unsealed seams. If a project requires measurable waterproof performance, a suitable coating or lamination must be developed and tested separately.

The required water-repellency grade, washing method and durability target should be agreed before sampling. A PFAS-free C0 water-repellent option can also be discussed when required, subject to sample approval and testing.

What Buyers Should Check Before Production

Before approving matte nylon ripstop fabric, we recommend checking the material in both flat form and a sewn prototype. Ultralight fabrics can behave differently after cutting, stitching and repeated folding.

Important approval points include:

• Matte appearance and surface consistency
• Ripstop grid size and visibility
• Weight and usable-width tolerance
• Tear strength for the intended application
• Air permeability and wind-resistance target
• Seam puckering and seam slippage
• Fabric noise during movement
• Water-repellent performance
• Colour fastness and dimensional stability
• Opacity in the selected colour

Custom colours, hand-feel adjustments and water-repellent requirements can be reviewed during development. Browse our functional fabric collection or follow CC Textile on Instagram for close-up fabric surfaces and current sampling developments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CC-2076 suitable for ultralight windbreakers?
Yes. Its 49 GSM weight, 30D construction and ripstop structure make it a suitable candidate for packable windbreakers and lightweight travel shells. Garment testing is recommended before bulk production.

Is this fabric downproof?
No downproof or calendered finish has been specified. If it will be used with down or fine synthetic filling, migration resistance must be tested with the intended filling and garment construction.

Does the W/R finish make CC-2076 waterproof?
No. W/R helps resist light surface moisture. Waterproof performance requires an appropriate coating or membrane system and confirmed hydrostatic-pressure testing.
