Waterproofing
How do we measure waterproofing at Decathlon?
At Decathlon, we don't just take into account the intrinsic quality of the component (in this case, a fabric that passes 20,000 schmerbers), but we validate the waterproofing of the finished product in a climatic chamber, reproducing different levels of precipitation.
This hat protects you from 12cm of rain for 2 hours, or 60L of water per hour and per square meter: quite a shower!
Why is checkered fabric more resistant?
Checkered fabric is shaped into a mesh. The warp and weft threads are designed to ensure strength and prevent the extension of any tears.
