Equivalence between the sportsperson's need during exercise and the level of breathability required in the component to ensure comfort.

Note:  Besides the breathability of the component, Novadry products are provided with mechanical ventilations (openings most commonly under the arms) that allow the user to air the product during sport.

Equivalence between the sportsperson's need during sport and the level of effort that the activity requires.

Explanation for user X :

Need for breathability : 3/5

Corresponds to: activity requiring a sustained effort such as running
- high production of water vapour (due to the evaporation of perspiration)
- use of components with breathability between RET 6 and RET 4, which corresponds in the standard to extremely breathable membrane complexes.

NOVADRY is a supplier of technology. With its membranes, it is an integral part of jackets and trousers, and ensures complete waterproofing and breathability.

It is the combination of several layers of fabric (most commonly by bonding) to get a structure with the properties of the many bonded layers.
A component can be fabric, composite...

At NOVADRY, our speciality is waterproof/breathable components, as we combine textile layers that possess waterproof, water repellent and breathable properties.

The Novadry design rules define the technology to use with the aim of meeting the needs required by the sport as fairly as possible, to provide the user with maximum comfort when practising.

In effect, depending on the targeted sport, there will be a tendency to use a 2-layer complex to obtain flexibility and elasticity (stretch) in the product.  There will be a tendency to use a 2.5-layer complex to obtain lightweight and compressible products.  There will be a tendency to use a 3-layer complex to obtain a robust and resistant product.

Always depending on the targeted sport and, in particular, the level of effort that it requires, beyond a breathable component for all sports where the need for breathability is high, we include ventilations (via zip openings in the product, for example) situated in strategic places on the body, where the need for breathability is at its greatest.
