WE TEST TO NEW LIMITS
You need to trust your gear when it counts, which is why we put all of our products through rigorous testing before ever releasing them to you. From extreme waterproofness to extreme breathability, we develop and test products you can trust in the most severe weather conditions.
HOW WE TEST
We develop products to be the best in the world for their use case, without harming the environment with PFAS chemicals. Our testing starts in the lab, where we set performance targets that must be achieved before passing them on to the next stage. Step two is simulated real-world stress testing, where we simulate environments more extreme than anything the material will encounter in the real world. Then, finally, we put it on the backs of professional athletes who push gear to the limit every day.
1. Lab Testing
Our products always start in the lab, where we set performance targets for new developments. Water pressure, moisture vapor transmission, spray, and the killer wash test are just some of the lab tests our materials undergo to ensure they have the best performance in their class and are ready to move on to the next steps.
InderShield™ Rugged has a 40,000mm waterproof rating and a 30,000g moisture vapor transmission rating following the JIS & ISO standard.
2. Severe Storm Testing
After a material hits our lab testing targets, we test it in unimaginable storm conditions. In our rain chamber, we simulate storms more extreme than the most severe weather the material is intended to withstand.This proves the material's performance in a garment enduring the harshest of weather conditions.
InderShield™ Rugged products must endure our most severe tests.
1: It must endure 23 inches of rainfall per hour for one full hour. This is approximately 6 times the rainfall of a cloudburst.
2: It must endure 192.5" of rainfall per hour for 30 minutes. That is 2 gallons of water/minute/square foot for 30 minutes.
To pass, the shell must prevent the layer beneath from getting wet. We fit the subject with a base layer that absorbs water. If the layer is dry at the end of the test, that means the shell successfully kept water out and will keep you dry.
3. Field Testing
Once the material has proven itself in the lab and in severe storm conditions, it's time to bring it into the field. We work with professional athletes who spend all year pushing our gear to the limit.
InderShield™ Rugged was tested on dozens of athletes around the world with over 10,000 hours of testing in the field.
Our testing cycle ensures our products will perform at the highest level, in the most severe weather conditions, keeping you dry, comfortable, and safe.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our mission is to create the highest performing outerwear on earth without harming the environment. This has been our mission from the very beginning and is the reason Indersity was started.
InderShield™ has been PFAS-Free* since its inception. Indersity will never develop a product with PFAS* chemicals.
Another factor in being environmentally friendly is the longevity of a product. The longer you can wear a product, the less annual environmental impact you have.
This is another reason why we test our products to the limit. By creating products that protect you better than anything else, that are PFAS-Free*, for as long as possible, we're able to protect the environment even more.
*No intentionally added PFAS
