Thread count & Density

[happysuperbutton]

Hi all

I'm aware the go-to material for quads like revs are the 3/4oz icarex ripstop nylon.

But anyone can help with determining the thread count and density of such .75oz ripstop rev sails use? Assuming 1sqm or sqf.

 

Thanks much!

Thread count and Density are measures commonly associated with COTTON bedsheets, pillowcases etc..

Ripstop Nylon & Icarex are two different things. Icarex is a ripstop Polyester..

Ripstop Nylon will absorb water and will get very heavy when wet. You also have to let it dry flat or it will stretch and deform.

Ripstop Poly you can fly it dry for the most part.

Kitemaking materials are sold by weight and not by thread count.. If I'm not mistaken it's like 3/4oz =  3/4oz per Square Meter..
