From the makers of Fish Monkey, Hunt Monkey Gloves has emerged with the hunting market squarely in its sights. Its premier innovation, Dry-Tec, is a three-step weatherproofing process. Durable Water Repellant (DWR) is a water-shedding technology that slips water from the exterior, keeping the gloves light and comfortable. Then Moisture Barrier Fabric (MBF) is used in the construction, which resists water penetration through the glove to the hands. Finally, there’s Hipora 100-percent waterproof breathable membrane in the construction. This keeps water out, but primarily keeps your hands from sweating. The result of this Dry-Tec process is a glove that stays comfortably dry in the outdoor elements. Among the Hunt Monkey products using this are the Wildcat Premium Hunting Glove as well as the Wildcat Flip Finger Mitten, Apex and Stealth Gloves.
