There is a better way to wear with hook-and-loop technology. At RipFISH, our mission is to innovate and ripINVENT™ everyday consumer products with unique combinations of hook-and-loop fabric and material. Caps, patches, backpacks, headlamps and stuffed animals are simply BETTER with hook-and-loop. So much better, that our innovation demands United States Patent and Trademark (USPTO) protection.
Why USPTO Protection?
Because hook-and-loop is really cool, and is underutilized in our everyday lives. As RipFISH introduces compelling new hook-and-loop product solutions and shines the RipLITE™ on FUNctional product possibilities, there will be quick copycat companies and unscrupulous characters.
The USPTO exists to encourage innovation and to protect the little guys like us. RipFISH is an underfunded small business who is competing in the BIG and crowded apparel brand space. We need USPTO protection to survive and thrive as a company. Sadly, it may not be enough. We will need YOU.
Help Support RipFISH with your Brand Loyalty
RipFISH needs YOUR support and brand loyalty so that we can keep innovating, and keep building new and compelling hook-and-loop consumer products that improve your life.
When you have to choose between an authentic RipHEAD™ brand baseball cap and a knock-off, remember that RipFISH was the first to innovate. We were the first to build a company dedicated to hook-and-loop consumer products. Your product purchase will always fund future RipFISH innovation.
The Patents:
In accordance with Section 287(a) of Title 35 of the United States Code, the reader is hereby placed on notice of the RipFISH, LLC. rights in the United States Patents and Trademarks listed on this site and associated with the following products.
RipHEAD™ Baseball Caps with RipSTRIP™ Fasteners:
Patent Pending. RipFISH brings you the RipSTRIP™ fastening system for loop fabric baseball caps. We are USPTO “patent-pending” with a single RipSTRIP™ fastening strap that connects DIRECTLY to the “loop” fabric on the back of a baseball cap.
Quickly and easily fasten, tighten or loosen your RipHEAD™ baseball cap while it sits on your head. Our innovation essentially replaces snapback fasteners with an improved single-strap baseball cap fastening and adjustment system. Score for RipFISH innovation!

RipTAG™ Patches:
Patent Pending. RipFISH reimagined the common fabric patch as an independent and collectible article of design. Admittedly, patches have always been (sort-of) collectible in certain circles of enthusiasts, but they have never been designed and fabricated to be INTENTIONALLY collectible.
RipFISH, LLC. has invented a patch that has identification and collecting information intentionally and permanently printed on its back side. They are branded RipTAG™ patches and you can learn more about collecting RipTAGs™ HERE or read our BLOG Posts:

RipFISH™ Backpacks with RipSTRIP™ Fastening Straps:
Patent Pending. Backpacks that have sections or swaths of “loop” fabric that will attach “hook” patches are not new. They just kind of suck. The “loop” fabric that existing backpacks use looks like a tangled bird’s nest. You can attach, at the most, one or two patches.
RipFISH™ backpacks use new and unique combinations of colorful, low-profile “loop” fabric that enables true personalization and expression with your backpack. Attach as many RipTAG™ patches and RipTILE™ lapels as your heart desires!
The BEST part of a RipFISH™ backpack is our “patent-pending” shoulder straps that are made out of a strong “loop” fabric that will visibly attach our RipTAG™ patches, RipTILE™ lapels and RipLITE™ headlamps.
Our “loop” backpack shoulder straps will also attach our “patent-pending” quick connect and release RipSTRIP™ fastening straps. Our RipSTRIP™ straps are made of a tough “hook” material and are rated to hold well over 30lbs of backpack weight. No more complicated clasps. Simply give your RipSTRIP™ a rip to unfasten, fasten and adjust to your comfort.

RipLITE™ Headlamps:
RipLITE™ headlamps are “patent-pending” in a system that enables them to connect directly to ”loop” fabric on our RipHEAD™ caps, RipFISH™ backpacks, and independent RipSTRIP™ straps and squares on bicycles and helmets. Our RipLITE™ headlamps are made out of “hook” material that enables a strong and secure connection for ultimate headlamp function and portability.
