The aqua is paler than anticipated and while it didn't go with the fabric I bought it for, it did end up going with a lot of other stuff I had. (I ordering a sample card after this!) It sews up surprisingly nice and is easy to hand press.
It does not seem to be waterproof like PU coated ripstop I purchased from another site. I cavalierly ran both underwater and then had to put the canvas on the drying rack with a fan before working with it. It wasn't saturated like cotton, but it was most certainly wet. Any water hitting the ripstop beaded up and ran off - it was totally dry.
**I ran another test - I think the pale side is the "back"; water applied to this side penetrated the fabric, but it dried relatively quick. The darker side, the "front", repelled water better. The water stayed on the surface of the fabric (unlike PU ripstop) but could be wiped off.
I have pictured a lining I am making out of it for a water bottle bag. Overall the fabric has a nice feel and I would buy it again (but not for a raincoat :-)
Beautiful color, just like the photo
