    ripstop ski cuff material?

    My main pair of ski pants are pretty schredded at the pant cuff. They didnt have the "ripstop" material that most ski pants have there to keep this from happening. I would like to just get some new material and get it sewn on.

    Anyone know what the name of the material is and where I can find it in the denver area?

    thanks

    Any heavy duty cordura will do. Dunno about Denver, but www.seattlefabrics.com has a good selection.

    I use a tent repair tape. You can buy it at REI and the like. For better adhesion you can heat it up slightly with a hair drier and then roll a beer bottle over it.

    I'd be very surprised if Mountain Miser couldn't get you squared away.

    I had Cordura stitched onto some snowboard pants. It works pretty well, I do have a cut on one leg though. Still it's fairly rip proof and will do the job nicely. If you want to go for the ultimate though, see if you can get your hands on some keprotech. It's pretty damn near rip proof.
