Start with the wearer and exposure
Describe the work or activity, expected time in the rain, layering and movement. Add the destination market, quantity and the date you need the goods.
Specify how performance is checked
Give the test method, acceptance threshold and conditioning state. Specify whether requirements apply to fabric, sealed seams or the finished garment.
Make the quotes comparable
Ask each supplier to state construction, included services, sample terms, price basis and any deviations. Record changes alongside the approved reference.
