Run-resistant is an adjective used to describe a material or fabric that is designed to prevent runs or tears from developing or spreading. This term is often used in the context of hosiery, nylon stockings, and other similar garments, where a small tear or hole can quickly spread or run down the length of the material, thereby ruining its appearance and function. This type of fabric often has a certain type of knit or a treatment that helps resist runs or tears.
