A cycle helmet, a rucksack, a sports watch and an inflatable dinghy - what do these products have in common? They all passed the tests with flying colours and were voted test winners.
We present a small selection of test winners from the Sports section that have been tested by Stiftung Warentest, Kassensturz and Saldo, among others, and voted No. 1 in their product category.
Nutcase bicycle helmet, winner Stiftung Warentest 05/2016
In the test, this children's bike helmet impressed with its handling & comfort, heat resistance and accident protection. What's more, it scored points for harmful substances.
Evolution hand luggage from Pack Easy, TCS 09/2015
The rigid suitcase was voted the big winner of Touring magazine's hand luggage resistance test. It impressed with its top-of-the-range materials and quality finish, as well as its numerous storage options, easy transport, 5-year warranty and very good repair service.
Intex Challenger inflatable boat, Kassensturz 06/2012
In the Kassensturz test, the Challenger dinghy was the only boat to achieve a 'good' rating and therefore won the test. The other dinghies gave pause for thought in terms of safety, manoeuvrability, waterproofing, puncture resistance and paddle support.
SIGG Traveller water bottle, Saldo 13/2015
The Traveller was the only water bottle in the test that didn't lose a single drop during the leak test. It barely soaked up any foreign odours and proved to be very robust.
Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire sports watch, CHIP 06/2015
The GPS sports watch won over with its simple operation, compact design, integrated activity tracker and optical heart rate measurement.
Garmin Oregon 600 outdoor navigation device, Trekkingbike 04/16
During the test, the device was particularly convincing with its screen properties and functionality. Its strong points are the ease of use with numerous customisation options, the very good menu and the superb monitor.
Deuter ACT Trail SL outdoor backpack, Kassensturz 05/2015
Compared to other backpacks, Deuter's ACT Trail has managed to set itself apart with its equipment, materials, grip and carrying comfort. It is the ideal partner for day hikes and outings.
The North Face Resolve Raincoat, Regenjacke-Test.de 2015
The superlight mackintosh for men is windproof and waterproof, lets the skin breathe, has welded seams, padded chin protection and protected closures. What's more, its hood can be stowed away quickly and easily. With an overall score of 1.1, the jacket was the clear winner of the test.
iXS Flow Knee pad, Enduro Mountainbike Magazin 04/2016
The iXS Flow Knee secured the coveted test win in the lightweight knee pad category in the Enduro Mountainbike Magazin 04/2016. Weighing in at just 300g, this protection is very light when you wear it, and you'll forget you're wearing it after just a few pedal strokes. Thanks to the mesh interior, the knee pad is well ventilated and doesn't cut.
