What is Outdry?

OutDry® is the innovative Italian technology to waterproof footwear, gloves and other clothing items where the standard manufacturing techniques based on seam-sealed waterproof fabrics cannot be utilized. Thanks to the OutDry® patented lamination process, the waterproof/ breathable membrane is directly bonded to the external layer of the shoe or glove, perfectly sealing any possible water entry point. Developed and patented by Italian company Nextec srl, in collaboration with Komatsu Seiren co. Ltd. (Japan), OutDry® technology is not simply an additional membrane in the market but a real innovation in waterproof/breathable footwear and gloves manufacture.

Outdry does the same job as a Gore-Tex lining but Scarpa also claim several advantages:

• The external layer and the membrane are a unique body; no more space in between.
• Water penetration is blocked without any weight increase in wet conditions.
• The membrane has a very high capacity of water vapour permeability.
• The is no seam sealing tape, allowing 100% of the membrane's breathable surface to function.
