Tear Resistant !
The double yarn reinforcement that is woven into the fabric every 10mm (0.039inch), both in the warp- and fill direction, ensures the highest tear strength for its light weight.
The reinforcements are in squares, adoped special reinforcing technique, so that the fabric is symmetrical, giving designers more freedom in material use.
The big square reinforcement lines are the trademark for Icarex and stand for the highest quality fabric available in the sport kite market to date.

ICAREX HAS SET THE STANDARD IN PERFORMANCE AND DURABILITY FOR RIPSTOP FABRICS
In the sport kite market, Icarex is the benchmark. Ripstop Icarex is being used by all major sport kite manufacturers.
The strength and stability that Icarex offers, are extremely important for these high performance sport kites.
This guarantees the best performance in light winds and the fabric retains its shape even in wet, rainy conditions.
The polyester in combination with double coating gives Icarex the best porosity of all available fabrics.
Icarex has a very low elongation; this unique quality feature makes sport kites more responsive and accurate.
Low stretch is an important advantage of polyester fabric over nylon fabric.
Icarex is available in a wide range of colours. All of the colours are very bright and, because of the fabric being so thin, work even better in the sky.
In comparison to nylon fabrics, the colours in polyester fabric keep their original intensity much better, because polyester fabrics such as Icarex are UV resistant.
Icarex is the choice of almost all the serious high performance sports kites, and with many years of astounding success Icarex is going to be used for many years to come.
