The article discusses the materials testing initiatives adopted by sports equipment companies. Oakley Inc. uses a compression testing procedure that evaluates lens' strength as well as the performance of the combination lens and chassis. Nitro Snowboards employs a three-point flexure test to asses the snowboards' flex and shape properties. Alpinestars uses a Zwick testing machine to perform compression tests on boots as well as other initiatives for testing leather as abrasion tests.
