Built to be your most versatile, top-of-the-line performance hunting boots
ALPHA DRYHUNT 2.0 HUNTING BOOTS
Loaded with the latest tech to raise the bar to a whole new level of true excellence, these aren't your run-of-the-mill hunting boots; they're a testament to our unwavering dedication and a promise of unmatched performance.
Engineered for milder climates with less insulation and shorter construction than the Alpha Aerogel boots, this model is built for year-round versatility, pushing boundaries with superior mobility and flawless protection.
Designed to be your top-notch hunting boots for spring, summer, and autumn, they are also an ultra-comfortable solution for moderately cold days in the winter down to 22°F ( -5°C). When paired with Hillman's Ultrawarm hunting socks, they feel comfy in freezing conditions down to 5°F (-15°C).
You'll hunt longer, hike farther, and hunt smarter with Dryhunt® Hunting Boots by Hillman.
The first time you try them on, you'll see the difference!
Dryhunt® has unmatched breathability, allowing the moisture from your feet to be transported outside the boots much faster and efficiently. The nanoporous air-permeable technology performs hundreds of times better than the moisture vapor transmission technology. Other hunting boots can leave you with damp, sticky feet by the end of the day, but Dryhunt® provides the best balance of breathability and waterproofness.
As seen in this electron microscope image, Dryhunt’s nanoporous 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, your feet 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 feet all day long
How Waterproofing Works? The water droplet is 20 times larger than the nanopores 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.
Unmatched Breathability
The Dryhunt® nanoporous waterproof membrane is not just hundreds of times more breathable than GTX—it surpasses any leading membrane worldwide. Acting as a hydrophobic shield, it blocks external water while expelling moisture through nanosized pores with every step. Its unmatched efficiency, breathability, and thermoregulation deliver exceptional comfort and a balanced microclimate in both warm and Arctic conditions. Plus, it’s 100% PFAS-free and eco-friendly.
3-Fold Waterproof Efficiency Upgrade
The conventional benchmark waterproof tests at 1.6 inches (4 cm) above the boot's board. Hillman significantly surpasses this norm maintaining integrity even when boots are submerged in water up to 5 inches (12 cm) deep.
Exceeding the standard by over threefold with hillman boots you can navigate deeper muddy terrain, marshes, and riverbanks without a drop seeping in.
Insulation Evolution
Exponentially Revolutionized Insulation Efficiency Down to -5°C (23°F)
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 0.13 oz./ft² (40 g/m²), and only 0.26 oz. (7.5 g) per boot, it delivers near-vacuum thermal conductivity, providing reliable warmth down to -5°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.
The new FREELOCK® revolutionary lacing system is practically unbreakable thanks to the world's first 1 mm stainless steel laces. The laces are made of stainless steel wire consisting of 49 strands and are practically unbreakable. The steel wire is coated with plastic reinforcement to prevent friction against the shoes, protect your feet, and keep them comfortable. No way can you break it.
While walking, the forces are focused on the multi-point ankle guides to provide superior ankle support. No matter how tightly you lace your boots, the force helps to provide optimal stability as you walk, run, or climb.
The gear ratio is perfectly optimized so you can lace your boots with fewer turns than any currently in the market. It works so smoothly that it is a pleasure to use it every time. The wire guides are made of durable cold-resistant nylon and wider channels that will make it hard to block the wire if mud is stuck in the guides.
The new technology knob with the highest dragging power and superb durability is engineered by a new technology that is much simpler than other competitive products and has fewer weak points. If you want superior pleasure when wearing your boots, then you’ll love the FREELOCK® intelligent lacing system. Turn the control knob, and the web of laces tightens automatically and evenly.
You’re going to wish every pair of shoes you own had the FREELOCK® lacing system.
Introducing the groundbreaking MEGAGRIP™ outsoles by Vibram®. Experience unrivaled traction, specially designed for challenging muddy terrains. These outsoles are not only adept on mud but also excel on extreme rocky surfaces.
Say goodbye to muddy build-up on your boots; our mud-proof technology ensures that debris won't stick. The rubber composition offers exceptional adhesion to nearly every type of surface. With Vibram® MegaGrip™ supporting you, no trail is out of your reach!
Health Matters
All-day unmatched comfort and support with a flexible outsole, dual shock absorption system, and H-Flex polymer insole for advanced heel stabilization
Joints and Muscle Support
Joints and Muscle Support
Conventional outdoor boots often have a rigid structure that limits movement in the ankle and foot joints, concentrating the load on the calves, ankles, and knees. This can lead to health issues and faster fatigue. In contrast, our flexible design promotes even load distribution across all joints, ensuring a more comfortable and ergonomic experience.
Foot and Heel Support
Foot and Heel Support
Experience unmatched comfort and protection with the shock-absorbing EVA midsole and H-Flex polymer support insole, featuring extra cushioning. The advanced H-Flex heel stabilization system enhances weight distribution, minimizes vibration, and helps prevent sprains, ensuring optimal support and comfort all day long.
Full 360° Board Shielding
Elevate your footwear's durability to unprecedented levels. Our side protection panels, crafted from Durashield® molded rubber, set a new standard for wear resistance, ensuring a lifetime of peak performance.
Flexible Structure
360° board protection with two types of polymer materials guarantees the highest wear resistance while allowing all foot joints to move freely.
The World's Strongest Fiber™
Dyneema stands as the pinnacle of strength, surpassing even steel and Kevlar. Renowned as the world's strongest fiber, it combines unparalleled durability with an astonishingly lightweight composition. We utilized Dyneema® for the folding tongue sides to create a sleek, highly comfortable, exceptionally durable zone that is resistant to friction – all without producing any squeaking or noise while in motion.
