DRI DUCK TRADERS ANNOUNCES PLANS TO USE SCHOELLER
TECHNOLOGIES 3XDRY® TECHNOLOGY IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Overland Park, KS, October 2008- DRI DUCK Traders, an apparel company
specializing in work wear and active lifestyle clothing, will partner with Schoeller
Technologies to utilize its 3XDRY® technology in the development of new products.
3XDRY® combines two technologies that prevents noticeable perspiration marks,
generates a cooling-effect and improves dirt and water repellence. DRI DUCK
Traders expects to launch a clothing line featuring the technology by Spring 2009.

DRI DUCK was established in 2003 as parent company, DRI, recognized the distinct
needs of active workers and outdoorsmen. Since that time, DRI DUCK products have
become increasingly known for their strength and adaptability – giving them the
leverage needed to partner with Schoeller Technologies. “Schoeller is very selective
in who they work with,” says Scott Tubbs, Vice President and General Manager at
DRI DUCK Traders. “We’re honored to be given this opportunity. We believe our
customers will be just as excited as we are,” explains Tubbs.

Developed in Switzerland, 3XDRY® was created based on the world’s strictest
production standards in terms of environment and health and safety requirements.
Clothes finished with 3XDRY® keeps moisture away from the skin in almost every
fashion by repelling water on the outside and absorbing moisture on the inside.
“Partnering with Schoeller seemed like a natural fit,” said Tubbs, “Imagine coupling
the 3XDRY® technology with that of our own high quality, innovative fabrics. We’re
excited about things to come with this new relationship.”

The revolutionary 3XDRY® marries two technologies into one textile: on the outside
the textile is finished with a water-repellant treatment, where the inside services the
role of perspiration absorption. The end result is a feature-rich fabric that repels
water, dirt and stains on the outside and provides moisture absorption for quick
evaporation on the inside. Schoeller claims the “feel good technology” fabric provides
triple function: 1) dry on the outside, 2) dry on the inside and 3) dry in a flash.

Next generation fabric technology is at the core of DRI Duck’s culture. What they
don’t design and develop in-house, they seek from best of breed partners like
Schoeller. In an effort to bring the best and highest quality products, both in
craftsmanship and design, to their brand conscience customers, DRI DUCK has made
a commitment to innovation and is a dedicated partner in the continued development
and pursuit of fabric technology in outwear and jackets. DRI DUCK offers a score of
water repellant, water resistant and water proof treatments in a large variety of
styles amidst the brand’s signature collections, including: DDX performance apparel,
Sawtooth workwear, Nano-fleece jackets, Organics apparel and Authentic Wildlife
Series™ headwear.
