Product information

The new HDry ‘b5’ bio-based membrane offers the opportunity to reduce dependence from fossil fuels on high-end active performance gear with a high bio-content rate (53%), resulting in the highest range of responsible technical performance. HDry ‘b5’ waterproof/breathable membrane main characteristics are: • membrane polymer bio-content rate of 53% tested and certified according to ASTM D6866 by BETA Analytic, a leading provider of radiocarbon dating services; • high membrane stretchability (>200%); • same performance range of standard HDry compound for footwear application;

All values/information are provided by the supplier and were not verified by PERFORMANCE DAYS. These results were calculated using the Higg MSI 3.3. They were calculated by the supplier and are not third-party verified.

HDry - Altexa srl

The insight that steered HDry's technological development is simple: move the waterproof and breathable barrier as far outside as possible to block the ingress of water to the outermost layer and prevent its penetration inside the shoe or equipment item. The HDry waterproof and breathable membrane is directly laminated to the inner side of the upper by a patented 3D lamination process and machinery, sealing the material and all seams in one step (tapeless). Water cannot penetrate the outer surface, so the boot stays much lighter, and feet remain dry and comfortable in any weather condition. HDry performance is tested according to: SATRA TM444 (waterproofness by STM640 centrifuge), TM376 (moisture management). HDry is PTFE-free, PFC’s free and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified. HDry 'b5', the high performance bio-based membrane is now available too.
