DRYOUT® Partners with UAG to Revolutionize Tech Gear Protection

In an exciting development for tech enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike, DRYOUT®, renowned for its cutting-edge Active Moisture-Removal Technology™, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Urban Armor Gear (UAG). This partnership marks the introduction of a novel category of gear protection aimed at safeguarding essential tech devices from moisture damage. The new collection will feature a range of products, including backpacks, slings, sleeves, totes, and recovery pouches, designed specifically to protect, carry, and rescue devices that we rely on every day.

The Problem with Conventional Protection

While traditional cases and bags are often designed to keep moisture out, they fall short when moisture inevitably gets inside. Issues such as aging seals, open ports, and persistent humidity buildup can compromise even the best-protected gear over time. DRYOUT aims to address this critical gap by providing solutions for instances when devices accidentally face moisture exposure.

An Innovative Solution

At the heart of the collaboration is DRYOUT's patented Active Moisture-Removal Technology™, which employs a unique layered fabric structure. This innovative design effectively pulls moisture away from gear, trapping and then releasing it. By integrating this technology into the lining of bags, cases, or pouches, DRYOUT helps eliminate both visible and hidden moisture within ports, seams, and interior compartments long after a device appears dry. This approach is essential for preventing long-term damage such as rust, corrosion, shorted circuits, and lens fogging.

The product of a meticulous collaboration between product development teams from both companies, the UAG x DRYOUT collection features technology embedded directly into each item, including bags, backpacks, sleeves, and pouches. With UAG's reputation for rugged device protection paired with DRYOUT's revolutionary moisture management, the collection represents an important advancement in preserving essential tech.

Testing and Effectiveness

Independent testing has highlighted the effectiveness of DRYOUT's technology: it outperforms conventional methods like desiccants or rice-based solutions by absorbing over ten times the moisture in controlled conditions. Moreover, the technology actively extracts moisture and humidity from devices up to six inches away, a feat traditional methods cannot achieve. Notably, this technology requires no batteries or electrical power, making it eco-friendly and efficient. After use, users can easily reset the active moisture-removal system through sunlight or forced airflow, typically restoring its effectiveness in just a few hours depending on the conditions.

Why This Matters

According to Romney Williams, CEO of DRYOUT, the launch with UAG is a monumental step toward their vision of integrating moisture-removal technology into the world's leading products. He emphasizes that this partnership empowers consumers with a smarter approach to protecting their daily tech essentials, marking the onset of a new era where active moisture management becomes a standard feature in premium protection.

Casey Bevington, Chief Brand Officer at UAG, underscores the importance of addressing moisture as a significant threat to modern devices. He notes that this partnership not only extends UAG’s commitment to device protection but introduces a new level of care for essential tech equipment that simply didn’t exist before.

The Product Lineup

The UAG x DRYOUT collection is set for a global release on July 27, 2026. Consumers can look forward to a tech tote, a roll-top backpack, a 22-liter backpack, a laptop sleeve, a tech sling, and dedicated rescue pouches for smartphones and AirPods—all featuring the revolutionary moisture management technology from DRYOUT. This launch signifies the unprecedented incorporation of DRYOUT's advanced material into everyday carry products, setting a new standard for consumer tech protection.
