For mechanics

You already know

how the shift ends.

Hands that sting when you shower. Skin that cracks by Thursday. The same gloves waiting Monday morning. It's not just part of the job.

"I can't get my gloves on"

"my hands literally drip sweat"

"I can't finish my shift"

"my skin cracks and bleeds"

New vendor.
Same wet hands.

Why every mechanic should care.
Wet skin lets more through.

Not from the outside. From what happens inside your gloves.

WHEN IT STARTS
5-7 min

In controlled PPE testing, in-glove humidity exceeded 90% within 5–7 minutes on the back of the hand. Inside sealed gloves, wet skin changes what gets through.

Park & Lee, J. Korean Soc. Clothing Textiles, 2025
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SKIN
47 %

Within 30 minutes inside sealed gloves, skin starts softening from trapped sweat.

Ryatt KS, Mobayen M, Stevenson JM et al., 1988
WHAT GETS THROUGH
3,6 x faster

Once skin stays wet inside the glove, some oil-like compounds move through it up to 3.6× faster.

Hikima & Maibach, Biol Pharm Bull 2006
The mechanism

One layer. One direction.

DRYE's Glove Liner moves moisture away continuously instead of trapping sweat against the skin.

See how it works
The mechanism

Moisture doesn't need to be absorbed. It needs a route out.

Every liner before DRYE

Absorb and hold

Cotton, silk, merino, polyester wicking. All fill with moisture until saturated - then hold it against your skin for the rest of the shift.

  • Sweat enters the fabric and stays
  • At saturation, moisture sits on skin
  • Sealed glove traps heat and humidity
  • Heat and humidity trap inside the glove
  • Same damage on shift 1 as shift 8
DRYE · ASYMMETRIC LAYERING

Route continuously

Two fibers, one fabric. The skin side is hydrophobic - water cannot bond to it. The outer side pulls moisture toward it. Sweat routes from skin to outside, continuously, without saturation.

  • Skin side repels - sweat cannot sit there
  • Outer side pulls moisture toward it
  • Continuous transport, no saturation point
  • One principle. Patent filed March 2026.
— A. Riahi

Eight hours in. The glove is humid. Your skin is dry.

"After 6 hours under rubber gloves, my hands felt wet inside. Took the gloves off — completely dry. Such a mindfuck."

Asymmetric layering

Routes sweat from skin to outer fabric. No saturation point.

Solution

One layer under the nitrile. Asymmetric Layering engages.

Routes sweat out continuously inside sealed gloves.
DAY 1
Sweat routes out - not against skin. No more fighting sweaty nitriles.
DAY 3
Gloves peel off without turning inside out.
WEEK 2
Oil wipes off the liner before it reaches skin. Other liners soak. DRYE Routes.
MONTH 1
Still enough feel for electrical and detail work. 0.4 mm thin.
MONTH 6
One liner. 120 disposables, gone.

Hands come out dry after shift one.
Asymmetric layering

A liner built for sealed gloves — not open air.

0.4mm thin. No chemicals. No coatings. Fits inside any work glove.
Sweat. No saturation point. No maceration. Stays dry for the full shift - summer or winter, nitrile, latex, rubber or HV.
Oil. Stays on the surface. Wipes off with electrical contact cleaner. Back in rotation in under a minute.
Tearing. Your nitriles go on dry, come off dry. No more ripping them off over soaked skin twice an hour.

Wilhelm and Andrew

Not another liner. A tested system for moving moisture out of closed protective gear.

DRYE started with one problem: the environment inside closed protective gear.

Not the cream. Not the skin treatment. The trapped sweat, heat, and friction that builds up during a shift.

After seven years of R&D with external textile and medical input, we built a textile that moves moisture away from the skin instead of soaking it up and holding it there.

Engineered with one of the world’s leading textile institutions. Validated by pro hockey players, mining workers, and people who wear gloves for real work.

Why millions of tradespeople thought cream was the answer.

Sealed gloves cause maceration. No cream, powder, or steroid on earth can solve that.

The questions every mechanic asks.

Automotive repair & construction

What about oil?

"When I get oil on the liners, I just wipe them off with electrical contact cleaner and a dry paper towel. Works perfectly. Good as new."

Brian Jee · Automotive repair, San Francisco
Automotive painter · Phoenix, AZ

Won't I still sweat through summer?

"Terrible sweat issues during summer wearing nitrile gloves. Wearing these, I'm no longer dripping sweat on my paint jobs and my hands feel better."

Chad W. · Automotive painter, Phoenix, AZ
AUTOMOTIVE · SCANIA BATTERY FACTORY

Will it affect my dexterity?

"Did not appear to affect fingertip sensitivity in electric safety gloves. Raised comfort and reduced the need to air the hand."

Simon Vicini · PPE-Coordinator, Scania CV AB
Car detailing · Panorama City, CA

Will it kill my grip?

"The slim thickness gives great dexterity. They do a great job keeping sweat off my hands."

Shoujun S. · Car detailing, Panorama City, CA
Real users

This is what changes.

The outer glove didn't change. The cream didn't change. What changed was what happened between skin and glove.

Jens Stålnacke, LKAB Kiruna
2 years later Before

"Some creams did nothing. My hands got worse every shift. Open wounds. I dealt with the damage for months."

After

"My hands are honestly normal now. Without a doubt, those liners gave my hands a real chance."

A new textile construction.
Built for sealed gloves.

DRYE is a patent-pending textile construction developed for closed glove environments — where standard wicking materials fail. Its function comes from the structure itself: polypropylene against the skin, lyocell on the outer surface, and a knitted architecture that moves moisture away without coatings, membranes, or evaporation.

No. DRYE doesn't absorb the way cotton does.

"If I get oil on the liners, I just wipe them off with electrical contact cleaner and a dry paper towel. Works perfectly." — Brian Jee, automotive repair

Machine wash at the end of the week. The structure is physical, not chemical — it doesn't wash out.
- Machine wash up to 60°C / 140°F. Air dry or tumble dry — both work.
- Handles industrial laundry. No special care required.
- Heavy daily use: 4 months. Light use: up to a year.
- Performance is structural — no coatings, no membranes, no chemical treatments to wash out.
No. Cotton and silk absorb sweat — bacteria grow in the damp fabric, and that’s where the wet-feet smell comes from. DRYE doesn’t absorb on the skin side. There’s nothing for bacteria to live in. Wash it when it’s dirty like any shirt. It doesn’t go sour.
4–12 months. Heavy daily use (8-hour shifts, 5 days a week) lands you closer to 4. Lighter use stretches it toward 12. Most mechanics run two pairs and rotate — one in the wash, one on the hand. No coating to degrade, no membrane to break down. When it eventually wears out, it’s mechanical wear — not chemical failure.
No. DRYE is 0.4mm — thinner than the lining already inside most work gloves. In Tesla Norway’s field trial, 16 of 16 technicians reported zero dexterity loss. Dry skin actually grips better than sweaty skin. You’ll feel the nut, the brake line, the torque — just without the sweat pooling around your fingers.
No — because it’s not your outer layer. Your nitrile is still the one getting caught on bolts and screws. DRYE sits underneath, protected. Machine washable, so you can rotate two pairs if you work heavy shifts.
All of them. Also works under rubber gloves, winter work gloves, and HV gloves for EV work. Not for arc flash environments. Any sealed glove. If sweat gets trapped — DRYE moves it out.

The physics don't change your shift — full refund.

Full refund within 30 days. No forms. No conditions. We can offer this because of how it works — not as a concession.
