Mammut DRYtechnology is Mammut’s proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane technology used in its rain shells and hardshells. It’s the brand’s in-house alternative to licensing an outside membrane, engineered to keep out rain and wind while letting sweat vapor escape, and offered in tiers tuned for durability, breathability, and weight.
An in-house membrane
Mammut’s answer to licensing Gore-Tex (like Patagonia’s H2No), judged on waterproofing and breathability.
Frequently asked questions
What is Mammut DRYtechnology?
DRYtechnology is Mammut's own waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane technology, used in the brand's shell garments as an alternative to licensing a third-party membrane. Like other waterproof-breathable systems, it keeps rain and wind out while allowing perspiration vapor to escape so you stay dry inside and out.
How does DRYtechnology compare to Gore-Tex?
Both aim to deliver durable waterproof-breathable protection; DRYtechnology is Mammut's in-house solution while Gore-Tex is an external brand used by many companies. Real-world performance depends on the specific product tier and construction, just as Gore-Tex performance varies across its versions.
Is Mammut DRYtechnology durable?
Mammut offers DRYtechnology in different tiers, including more rugged constructions for demanding alpine use and lighter versions for fast-and-light or everyday use. As with any shell, durability tracks the construction (such as 3-layer builds) and care, including keeping the DWR finish maintained.
