Adventure has always been a driving force in my life—whether backpacking, cycling, motorcycling, or skiing, one essential piece of gear came with me every time: my reservoir backpack. But after every trip, I faced the same frustrating chore of drying it. I’d hang it, shake it, prop it open, even stuff it with paper towels. Still, moisture and mold would linger.

After one particularly rugged ride on the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route, I stood in my garage, staring at a still-dripping reservoir. There had to be a better way. That moment sparked a mission. I started prototyping in my garage, determined to create a faster, more effective way to dry hydration bladders.

The breakthrough came with the DRYE™ Fan, a compact, rechargeable device that circulates air to speed up evaporation. To make it universal, I designed interchangeable DRYE™ Rings for different brands. I also tackled the drinking tube with the DRYE™ Wire—a flexible tool lined with microfiber to wick away hidden moisture.

After countless tests, the results were clear: bladders dried in hours, not days. I knew this wasn’t just a personal fix, it was something the entire outdoor community needed. That’s how the DRYE™ System was born: a patent-pending solution made for adventurers, athletes and anyone who relies on hydration packs.
