TEST AIM: To test the complex's waterproofing.

TEST METHOD: The test consists of applying increasing water pressure to the fabric.

TEST VALIDATION: Waterproofing is validated if the complex reaches the water pressure defined by Novadry.

This test is carried out at the Decathlon Technical Centre for Research and Development.

TEST AIM: Measuring the complex's resistance to rubbing.

TEST METHOD: This test consists of creating friction between the test fabric and a reference sample.

TEST VALIDATION: Resistance is validated if the fabric resists for the time defined by Novadry.

This test is carried out at the Decathlon Technical Centre for Research and Development.

TEST AIM: Measurement of the perspiration wicking capacities of the side that is in contact with feet.

TEST METHOD: Water must not able to spread along the outside of the shoe.

TEST VALIDATION: The more the water spreads over the side in contact with feet, the better perspiration wicking will be in the end use.
