Kaiwaka Technology
When your gear needs more than just weather protection, it needs to handle the daily wear and tear of tough environments. That's why we’ve integrated RipStop Technology into our gear to deliver the durability and tear resistance you demand, so you can focus on the job.
RipStop Technology uses a reinforced grid pattern woven directly into the fabric. This structure prevents small rips or tears from spreading, dramatically improving the garment's lifespan and maintaining performance even in the harshest conditions.

Superior Tear Resistance
RipStop’s crosshatch weave integrates tough, reinforced threads that stop tears from spreading. Even if a rip starts, the damage stays contained, keeping your gear intact and functional for longer.
Lightweight Durability
Heavy-duty doesn't have to mean heavy. RipStop balances low fabric weight with high tensile strength, delivering serious durability without sacrificing flexibility or comfort.
Abrasion and Wear Protection
From rough terrain to metal tools and machinery, RipStop resists the surface-level damage that wears out ordinary gear. It holds up against friction, grit, and daily grind — exactly where you need it most.
Tested and Proven
RipStop Technology has been trialled across rugged farms, industrial sites, and outdoor work environments. It’s built to withstand repeated stress, resist failure, and perform under pressure , keeping your gear strong and your focus on the job.
