Laboratory Water Resistance Test
The BfR combat boot has been tested for water resistance using the SATRA Dynamic Footwear Water Penetration Test. With the BfR combat boot in the horizontal position and the water level 20mm above the featherline at the highest point(the toe), the BfR combat boot was flexed at 60 flexes a minute and inspected at various stages for water penetration.
After 500,000 flexes,the BfR combat boot was found to be without any water penetration. SATRA recommends that footwear which reaches 6,000 flexes with no water penetration is considered "water-resistant" and footwear which reaches 15,000 flexes with no water penetration is considered "highly water-resistant".
The BfR combat boot tested easily meet SATRA's recommendation for highly water-resistant footwear using the laboratory water resistance test.
