How is the comfort temperature measured?
We test each of our products in the laboratory to give you an indicative comfort value. This is measured without tights for pants, and with a thermal T-shirt and fleece for jackets. The measurement indicated is that of the outside temperature at which the testers felt neither hot nor cold. This feeling differs, of course, according to the intensity of the activity, but also according to each individual's metabolism.
How is waterproofness measured?
To go beyond a simple component waterproofing value, we at Decathlon, test all our waterproof products in the laboratory. How is this test carried out? We have an articulated dummy on which we put the jacket, and which then spends a few hours under a shower.
