Blue Force Gear becomes DRYOUT’s first defense industry brand partner, introducing reusable moisture-removal technology for mission-critical gear SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (September 25, 2026) — DRYOUT®, the advanced materials company behind Active Moisture-Removal Technology™, today announced its partnership with Blue Force Gear (BFG), a leader in lightweight load carriage and tactical equipment, marking DRYOUT’s first brand partnership in the defense industry. The collaboration brings DRYOUT’s patented moisture-removal technology to tactical nylon, beginning with the DRYOUT 1L, an accessory engineered for use inside Blue Force Gear’s existing Night Vision Goggle (NVG) pouch. Designed to help protect sensitive optics and electronics from moisture encountered during transport, storage, and field use, the reusable insert requires no electricity or batteries to operate. Tactical gear is routinely exposed to rain, humidity, condensation, sweat, temperature changes, and other sources of moisture. Night vision devices are frequently used in these same conditions, often becoming wet or accumulating moisture during operations before being placed back into storage or transport systems. DRYOUT is designed for exactly that challenge. DRYOUT Active Moisture-Removal Technology™ creates a new category of gear protection built on a layered fabric design that pulls moisture away from gear, traps it, and releases it. For Blue Force Gear,…
