Innovations
Dryhunt®
Nanofiber electrospun membrane he world's most air-permeable waterproof nanoporous 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 nanocell 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 20°C to -25°C (from 68°F to -15°F), suitable for Mild, Cool, Cold, and even Very Cold and Extreme cold weather conditions with additional layers.
Aerospacer3D
Condense management and cushioning system Ultra-ventilated panels made from a special Aerospacer3D mesh are placed on the collar and shoulders. These panels offer a unique anti-condensation technology that keeps you dry and comfortable by allowing moisture to escape. The Aerospacer3D mesh resists flattening under the weight of a backpack or gun sling, and its three-dimensional structure creates air-filled cavities between your body and the jacket. When you move, the "pump effect" generates air circulation, allowing moisture (like sweat) to move horizontally through the airy space and evaporate outside, preventing moisture buildup and condensation inside the fabric. Additionally, the three-dimensional pile and spacer threads act like millions of tiny springs, preventing flattening and providing excellent cushioning. When carrying a backpack or rifle, impacts are absorbed, and pressure is evenly distributed, significantly reducing pressure points and making it much more comfortable to carry your gear.
Cluster®1.0
Quick access and carrying system TheCluster®system delivers unmatched speed and efficiency for accessing essential gear like radios, GPS devices, and ammunition, conveniently located on the chest 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 2.2 lb / 1 kg .
