Dryworld Industries Inc. is a Canadian athletic footwear and apparel company based in Victoria, BC, Canada. The company does independent lab testing at the Sport Innovation Centre (SPIN), a division of the Canadian Sport Institute.[1]

History

The Company was started in 2010 by two former rugby players Matt Weingart and Brian McKenzie. After retiring, the two put together an idea to create the a product which would allow athletes to keep their feet warm, dry and comfortable at all times during the games and developed an exterior shoe product called dryfeet that is rolled over soccer, football or rugby boots and significantly reduces the weight of the shoes during wet and cold conditions during games and training.[2][3] The Company has since produced several lines of clothing, such as HauteD, Aggression, BioSkyn Apparel and Barefuta. In 2016 the Company has signed several deals with Brazilian football clubs, such as Atletico Mineiro and Fluminense and have acquired four manufacturing factories in Brazil.

Sponsorship

In 2016 it was announced that Dryworld reached the deal to sponsor Brazilian soccer clubs Fluminense, Goiás and Atlético Mineiro. Goiás was the first club to officially present the kit and wear it during competitive games. On 3 February 2016, Santa Cruz have also announced their partnership with Dryworld, although this information is yet to be confirmed by the company.[4]

In July 2016, Dryworld announced deals with English soccer clubs Watford [5] and Queens Park Rangers [6] for the upcoming 2016–17 Premier League and 2016–17 Championship seasons respectively.
