- The combination of these components and the observation of the Novadry design rules guarantee that the user can practise the sport in question for several hours in continuous rain:

- All our products are tested in laboratory under rain that can reach the equivalent of a tropical shower!

- Performance assessed by our engineers, subject to normal use of the product with closed fastenings and good product/sport suitability (do not go skiing with a golf jacket, for example)

- Performance assessed by our engineers, subject to observation of the Novadry design rules (having a waterproof component is not enough to make a product waterproof, strict assembly methods must be followed).

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 if equal to or greater than 2/5, we put in place 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.
