Measurably lower moisture retention after an 8-hour shift. Gloves worn throughout. Results logged by independent researchers at the Swedish School of Textiles.
What happens inside a sealed glove - from the first half hour to a career cut short. peer-reviewed data on why the environment, not the treatment, is the problem.
In a sealed glove: relative humidity hits 90% within 5–7 minutes. Skin temperature climbs to 35°C. This is the environment that softens skin and feeds bacteria — long before you notice it.
After 27 minutes: skin damage risk doubles in women, 55 minutes in men. Most shifts run 3-6 hours - 8x the threshold.
After 4 hours: your outer skin barrier swells 3x thicker. Oil, solvents and chemicals soak in deeper - into skin that can't fight back.
Hydrated human skin allowed some fat-soluble model compounds to penetrate up to 3.6× more in vitro.
In chronic cases: 57% take sick leave. 1 in 4 change or leave their trade. Direct healthcare costs run thousands per case, year after year.
Every glove, liner, barrier cream and powder fails on the physics.
DRYE routes sweat from skin to outer fabric. One-directional gradient. We call it Asymmetric Layering.
See how it worksMost liners fail because they get wet or wear out. DRYE was engineered to avoid both.
Developed on advanced industrial textile machinery — not generic liner fabric. Engineered, not improvised.
Built for repeated wear, washing and friction inside sealed gloves — designed to hold its shape shift after shift.
Asymmetric layering moves moisture away from the skin-facing side, helping the hand side stay drier for longer inside 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.

Sweden’s leading innovation award — awarded to DRYE’s textile technology for preventing moisture-related skin damage inside protective equipment.
Sealed gloves cause maceration. No cream, powder, or steroid on earth
can solve that.
"These gloves completely solved my contact dermatitis problems, and as a bonus my hands no longer smell bad after a game!"
— Chris P., Fort Worth, Texas
“Real skin problems started in 2017 - pain, open scars and wounds. Nothing worked for years."
— Jens Stålnacke, Mine Worker, Luleå
"Cracks all over my knuckles, redness and eczema. My hands stay drier, grip is better, skin holds up."
— Linnéa Pettersson Dove, SDHL Swedish Champion 2025, Frölunda HC
Automotive mechanics reported reduced sweat retention after 8 weeks of continuous use under EV insulation gloves.
Participants with a confirmed dermatological diagnosis reported fewer flare-ups over the 8-week study period.
Ukrainian infantry soldiers reported reduced skin damage during field conditions.

DRYE received the SKAPA Prize for its textile technology — developed to prevent moisture damage to the skin in protective equipment. The award is given in memory of Alfred Nobel, for innovations with genuine societal and commercial significance.
"In a smart and practical way, DRYE has developed a concrete solution to a common everyday problem affecting many individuals. Through the textile's gradient, hands stay clean and dry without risk of drying out or eczema."
SKAPA Foundation — Innovation in Memory of Alfred NobelJust wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you. My son has been struggling with severe dry hands because of his hockey gloves for the past few years. No cream or prescription has helped. He's worn your gloves for 3 ice times, and his hands are completely cleared up. Absolute game changer.
My daughter has severe eczema and plays ice hockey 6 times a week. She destroyed the first pair — hence the order. She appreciates that the gloves fit tight and don't introduce slip — which was a problem with cotton gloves.
I wear latex gloves all day for work. Every hour I'd change my gloves and notice the sweat on my DRYE — but my hands remain dried. I have seven pairs to rotate.
I've been using them in automotive repair, home construction, and moving heavy materials. No more eczema or rashes on my hands. Nitrile gloves don't tear anymore because they go on and off easily without sweaty skin.
My son's hands were bright pink and raw with all of the skin peeling off from wearing work gloves. Within two weeks, they are completely healed and back to normal. I cannot believe the difference.
I've had eczema on my palms since birth and have used steroid creams for years. I can finally do things like help my wife in the garden without my skin breaking.
