TEST AIM: To test a fabric's water repellence, meaning to assess the fabric's capacity to allow water to slide over its surface.

TEST METHOD: The membrane is put in place and rain is simulated using a sprinkler system. 

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

TEST AIM: To test a fabric's waterproofing.

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

TEST VALIDATION: Waterproofing is validated if the fabric reaches the water pressure defined by NOVADRY.

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

TEST AIM: To measure the fabric'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.
