Breakthroughs
Dryhunt®
Nanofiber electrospun membrane The world's most air-permeable waterproof nano porous membrane is the most efficient at transporting body moisture outside the jacket in any condition. This dramatically improves thermoregulation and inner climate comfort and helps all insulation layers work at maximum performance. Dryhunt is a hydrophobic nano-membrane that simultaneously outperforms any membrane technology in the world regarding breathability and stretchiness, which are essential for thermoregulation and comfort. This electrospun nanomembrane technology is made and applied to the fabric with the highest precision in South Korea.
Matrix®
Closed nano cell insulation With a thermal conductivity of 0.0087 W/mK, Matrix® outperforms Aerogel (0.013 W/mK) and comes closest to a vacuum (0.006 W/mK) in terms of weight-to-thermal efficiency. This makes it the lightest insulation featuring closed-cell nanotechnology. Measuring just 0.035 inches / 0.9 mm thick and weighing 1.47 oz/yd² / 50g/m2, this breathable, antibacterial, and stretchable material is not only the most innovative insulation on Earth but is also Zero° Technology, eco-friendly, having passed the EU REACH SVHC sustainability test.
Graphene
Heat-flux Synchronization Lining Harness the power of pure graphene with thousands of tracks woven into our lining, greatly enhancing its thermal conductivity. This state-of-the-art design redistributes your body heat evenly, preventing cold spots and maintaining consistent warmth. Thanks to this innovative approach to thermal insulation, enjoy superior comfort and stay cozy in any environment. Additionally, our superfine lining is the only one today with stretch properties that do not compromise comfort, perfectly supporting Hillman’s philosophy of unrestricted movement and optimal performance.
Thermovent®
Multi-level thermoregulation system When outside temperatures are low, and you move actively, your body generates excess moisture. Without proper moisture management, this moisture can cause you to freeze when you stop moving, as it cools your body rapidly. Thermovent® technology manages moisture in three ways: through the Dryhunt membrane, the world's most moisture-permeable membrane; the Aerospacer3D mesh - which prevents moisture buildup where a backpack or other gear compresses the membrane; and underarm pit zips that allow for self-regulated climate control. Together, these technologies create the world's most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system for temperatures from 68°F to -15°F (20°C to -25°C), suitable for Mild, Cool, Cold, and even Very Cold and Extreme cold weather conditions with additional layers.

4-Level Waterproof Shielding
⛊ Level 1
Dryhunt® nanomembrane
Dryhunt® is a groundbreaking hydrophobic nanofiber membrane that redefines what's possible in hunting gear. Thanks to its unique technology and structure, it outperforms not only the non-porous hydrophilic membranes but also any membrane with nanoporous structure.
Developed with precision in South Korea, Dryhunt® is crafted with an unparalleled focus on performance. Its cutting-edge nanofiber technology supports insulation layers to operate at peak efficiency, keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused on your hunt. This is not just a membrane—it's the pinnacle of waterproof and breathable innovation, offering an advantage no other product can match.
As seen in this electron microscope image, Dryhunt’s nanofiber structure allows moisture to escape freely through its nanosized pores. Meanwhile, the pores are smaller than water droplets, effectively blocking water from the outside. Thanks to this cutting-edge nanotechnology, you will stay dry, warm, and free from the frustrations caused by 99.9% of conventional membranes.
99.9% of membranes out there are solid hydrophilic membranes that don’t offer direct breathability. Moisture escapes through these membranes via a condensation-like process, which is highly inefficient and fails to effectively release excess moisture. As a result, you’re left with damp or even wet, freezing sensation most of the time.
How Waterproofing Works? The water droplet is 20 times larger than the nano gaps of Dryhunt® membrane, which completely blocks water from getting through.
How breathability works? As you move, your sweat is vaporized and efficiently transported through the Dryhunt pores to the outside with unmatched efficiency.
Nanofiber revolution
Dryhunt® is created by spreading nanofibers through electrospinning, which creates a fibrous layer that lets air move freely through it while blocking water penetration.
Completely PFAS-free and eco-friendly, Dryhunt® sets the gold standard in performance, reliability, and sustainability.
The gaps between nanofibers are 20 times smaller than the water drop which makes the membrane fully waterproof. At the same time allows an incredible 90 cubic feet of air/moisture per square foot to pass through every 24 hours—equivalent to the air volume of a spacious living room.
⛊ Level 2 | DWR
To prevent the fabric from soaking and gaining weight, we use eco-friendly DWR C0, a fluorine-free treatment that ensures long-lasting water repellency and sustainability.
⛊ Level 3 | Seam Sealing
To ensure seams are waterproof, we use breathable seam sealing tape, providing added protection without compromising comfort or performance.
⛊ Level 4 | YKK AquaGuard
For ultimate protection against water, we use premium YKK AquaGuard zippers, renowned as the industry leader for their unmatched efficiency and reliability.
6+ Level Thermoregulation
When outside temperatures are low and you are moving actively, your body generates excess heat and moisture. Without proper moisture management and thermoregulation, you can overheat while moving or freeze when you stop, as moisture buildup cools your body rapidly.
Termovent® technology manages moisture and thermoregulation through six advanced technologies. Together, they create the world’s most advanced and efficient thermoregulation system, suitable for temperatures ranging from 20°C to -25°C (68°F to -13°F). Designed for Mild, Cool and Cold weather conditions, this system delivers unparalleled comfort and performance with the option to add layers for Very Cold and Extreme Cold environments.
𖦹 Dryhunt® nanomembrane
Our advanced nanofiber membrane efficiently expels excess heat and moisture through its airy structure, ensuring optimal comfort while maintaining complete protection against external elements.
𖦹 Peak-point Vent
The peak-point vent, positioned at the highest evaporation point on the back of the waist, is strategically placed where the hottest moisture naturally rises and can be transported outside. The vents are stretchy and allow freedom of movement when sitting or squatting.
𖦹 Graphene Lining
Thousands of graphene tracks built into the lining use heat-flux synchronization to evenly distribute body heat and prevent cold spots, maintaining consistent warmth. Graphene effectively disrupts odor-causing bacteria
𖦹 Vent Zips
For intense activity, strategically placed ventilation zips allow you to customize the air flow by adjusting the openings to release excess heat and moisture, enhancing comfort during high-exertion tasks.
𖦹 Matrix®
The world's lightest closed-cell nano insulation not only protects you from the cold but is also highly breathable and features radiant bi-directional functionality, keeping you cooler when you overheat.
𖦹 Merino & Heatmax7
Positioned on the back, the merino fleece serves as a highly effective moisture-absorbing and wicking layer. The detachable back plate can also accommodate the optional Heatmax7 heater for added warmth in Arctic cold conditions.
Insulation Evolution
Matrix® sets a new standard for insulation. Its closed-cell structure is 10 times lighter, 80% less bulky, and 2000% more efficient than traditional materials. At just 40 g/m² (0.13 oz./ft²), and only 54 g (1.9 oz.) per jacket, it delivers near-vacuum thermal conductivity, providing reliable warmth down to -20°C (23°F) without causing overheating in milder conditions. Engineered for extreme cold and warmer climates alike, Matrix® is the world’s lightest, most effective thermoregulating insulation.
Varilock®
An innovative closure system that allows precise size adjustments up or down by one size, ensuring a perfect fit whether you gain or lose weight. Made from molded polymer Velcro, it offers cutting-edge comfort and a reliable closure capable of withstanding 100 kg (220 lbs) of force.
Quick reloading and carrying system
TheCluster®system delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for accessing essential gear like radios, GPS devices, and ammunition, conveniently located on the hips for easy reach. Its innovative design allows for quick reloading and access to electronics without bulky pockets, reducing overall weight. Compatible with most calibers of ammunition and any device with a clip, it supports knives, flashlights, or items up to 0.5 kg / 1.1 lb. With no comparable system in terms of efficiency and design, Cluster® provides fast access without sacrificing mobility or adding bulk, making it the ultimate solution for hunters on the move.
Silent, Durable and Stretch - Now All in One
Designed to overcome the challenge of creating a waterproof shell that balances durability and quietness. Durability demands a high-density woven structure, similar to canvas, while noise reduction benefits from a softer, low-density design like fleece. To achieve this balance, the fabric features a brushed woven surface that mimics deer suede leather, providing a premium feel while significantly reducing noise during movement. This innovative shell is almost noiseless, excelling in thorny underbrush and tough terrains while offering durability, protection, and long-lasting performance in the toughest conditions.
Any coated or membrane-bonded fabric generates some level of noise. Knitted fleece-like fabrics are the quietest but the least durable, while woven Cordura-like fabrics are the strongest but also the noisiest.
Hillman's Durasuede is a breakthrough fabric that combines unmatched durability from its woven construction, exceptional noise reduction from its brushed acoustic surface, and superior comfort thanks to its stretch design. Backed by 20 years of textile expertise, we are proud to present the first ultimate hunting fabric, offering an unprecedented balance of durability, noise reduction, and comfort-all in one.
