These tactical Zip Pants, Fishing Jacket, Fishing Vest, and Trail Cap are all made from water-repellent Italian nylon ripstop, crafted by the experts at Olmetex, a world-renowned mill established in 1954 in Italy’s Como region. Ripstop is a military innovation, often used in uniforms and parachutes — it’s woven using a special technique that creates a fine crosshatch pattern, making it both lightweight and incredibly resistant to tearing.
