OutDry is the leader in waterproof breathable technology. Our patented process allows for increased comfort and protection against wet weather conditions.

OutDry bonds a waterproof, breathable membrane to the outermost layer of a shoe, sealing all potential entry points. This is unlike traditional "waterproof" footwear with a floating bootie that allows water and debris to stagnate between the layers, making your feet feel cold and heavy.
An absolutely waterproof, highly breathable membrane is bonded directly to the glove's shell so your hands stay dry, warm and comfortable. The result is comfort, warmth and superior fit and dexterity.
