Forget Sweat? Next-Gen Cooling Innerwear That Frees You from Sweat Stress, Even in Scorching Heat and Outdoors!

Otafuku Glove Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative: Isuhata Yuuki), a long-established glove manufacturer founded in 1926—celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026—has launched the 'BT Drastic Dry Cool,' a cooling-type model for spring and summer, under its BODY TOUGHNESS brand. This product is an evolution of the popular 'DUAL FABRIC Series,' available starting May 2026.

Innerwear That Directly Tackles Sweat Discomfort

Last year’s launch, 'Drastic Dry,' gained support primarily among field workers by addressing discomforts such as stickiness and chills caused by sweat. It has also drawn attention in outdoor activities like hiking and running, praised for its comfort in harsh environments.

This new series builds on that functionality, developed specifically for the hottest seasons as a cool (cooling) type.

Cool-Type Sweat-Management Innerwear 'Drastic Dry Cool'

Four Key Features of Drastic Dry Cool

Feature 1: Unique Structure That Keeps Skin Dry and Moves Moisture Outward

Drastic Dry System – Concept Image

The product’s greatest feature is its unique structure using different nylon yarns on the skin-facing and outer sides.

By varying yarn thickness and count between the inner and outer layers, capillary action is enhanced, rapidly moving sweat outward and keeping the skin side dry.

Even when sweating, stickiness is minimized, and comfort is maintained during prolonged wear.

Feature 2: Full-Body Cooling and Odor Control

Test results above are based on internal company research. Values are for reference and may vary by individual.

By using cooling-type nylon yarn, a refreshing, cool sensation is achieved upon wearing.

Additionally, odor-controlling polyurethane yarn is used throughout, addressing body odor and aging odor across the entire garment.

One key feature is the realization of 'full-body odor elimination,' not just in specific areas.

Feature 3: Versatility for Single-Layer or Base-Layer Use

Unlike the mesh structure of our previous product (3D First Layer), this model uses a fray-resistant knit design.

It can be worn not only as an inner layer but also as a standalone top.

With moderate compression for a body-hugging fit, it allows freedom of movement, suitable for work and sports activities.

1. Reduces stickiness from sweat
