Rapid Dry is a lightweight three dimensional polyester fibre, which is designed to wick moisture away quickly. This creates an extremely breathable fast drying fabric which wicks moisture quickly then evaporated away. This leaves you cool and dry in the summer and will protect you fron the dangers of UV. Because Rapid Dry keeps your skin so dry, gaments act as a great insulator so will keep you warm and dry in the winter.

Rapid Dry fibre is used in our Drymax-Lite and ThermaSuede fabrics. These cool garments are perfect when it is hot, and you'r sweating up a storm. Great for work or play, you will be comfortable no matter what the temperature. They also double as thermals in winter.
This year we are making our ThermaSuede fabric fron Rapid Dry fibre so now these super tough garments are super cool.
Drymax-lite is a 3 dimensional stretcy knit perfect for shirts.

Extended Performance Fleece:
- has a windproof breathable membrane laminated between two layers of THERMOFLEECE 160:-Creating one of the most advanced fleece fabrics in the world. A THERMOFLEECE 2000 XPF garment is soft, quiet and wind proof, which will be at least two times as warm as a standard fleece garment in windy conditions. Although this fabric is totally waterproof a garment made from it couldn’t be called totally waterproof, because water can penetrate through the seams and the stitching holes. Needless to say all Thermofleece 2000 XPR garments are constructed to be as waterproof as possible. Seams are strategically placed and stitching through the body of the garments is kept to a minimum to reduce any possible water penetration.

Thermofleece 580
Thermofleece 580 is our heavy weight fleece made from 100% polyester yarn. This tough fabric is engineered to be the best all round peforming fleece in New Zealand conditions, giving extra warmth without excessive bulk.

The Habitat Camouflage System™ is the result of our passion to bring the very best gear to hunters and shooters in our part of the world. It all started in the late eighties when we brought New Zealand and Australian hunters, the first high tech camouflage hunting gear made in New Zealand. Huntech® Outdoor Clothing's first products were made from Malden Mills™ woodland camo polarfleece, and soon a new industry was created in New Zealand. A move to having our fabrics made in Europe, gave us opportunities to experiment with camouflage patterns. We fine tuned the woodland type pattern, and changed colours to better suit our environment. We tried heat transfer prints in the early 90's on microfleece, but the costs of screens and rollers proved prohibitive. At the time the first of the non military patterns started to evolve, Realtree™, Trebark™ and Mossy Oak™ to name a few. We saw Realtree as the leader so we became licensed to use their patterns. Unfortunately the North American patterns never really suited our environment. Commonly used American forest patterns tend to be much too dark, because they are designed for bow hunters who hunt from high tree stands, in forests dominated by large, dark deciduous hardwood trees, with dark heavy canopies. Patterns designed for wetland areas, tend to be very yellow and brown depicting very dry grasses, reeds and rushes.

Using valuable input from several of New Zealand’s most successful hunters, waterfowlers, bird shooters and wildlife photographers, we have set out to develop a series of camouflage patterns suitable for New Zealand hunting conditions. We have also developed a camo pattern for our Australian cousins.
