The product
What is DryHeat?
DryHeat is the technical clothing line of Athesis, a knitwear maker in Maccacari (Verona, Italy) operating since 1971. Base layers, mid layers and accessories in polypropylene for outdoor sport, work in the cold and leisure.
What makes DryHeat garments unique?
The polypropylene we knit into our DHtech fabrics: insulating, breathable, hypoallergenic and bacteriostatic. It absorbs very little water, so sweat doesn't stay in the fibre and the garment dries quickly. You get less cold when you stop.
Are DryHeat garments thermoregulating?
Yes, the garments made of DHtech fabrics: they are based on polypropylene, which helps keep your body temperature steady both under effort and when you stop. The hiking socks are merino wool, which keeps you warm even when damp.
Are DryHeat garments only for sport?
No. They are also worn by people who work outdoors or in the cold (construction, logistics, cold storage, agriculture) and by anyone looking for comfort in their free time. Discover DryHeat Professional.
What are the advantages of polypropylene?
- Light: it is the textile fibre with the lowest specific weight.
- Dry: in DryHeat Lab tests its weight increases by 0.13% after absorbing liquid, versus 0.72% for polyester.
- Insulating: it holds warmth even when you stop.
- Hygienic: hypoallergenic and bacteriostatic.
- Practical: it dries quickly and needs no ironing.
