Yup..... they are absolutely fantastic! My feet and hands sweat like mad leaving boots and gloves soaked by the end of the day. Without the dryzone I just could not get things dried out overnight, with them, it isnt a problem. Im hoping for another pair actually in my xmas stocking!

I'd prefer the plug in ones personally, warm boots are nice. I've even got some in the car now so I can put warm boots on each morning.

It's good to hear that the Dryzone stuff actually works, might get some as well.

I like the plug in boot warmers too, though I don't feel the need to have my boots warmed up in the car, are you a wuss

Slightly off topic but close:
Will my 230V/50Hz Thermic boot warmers work in the US (120V/60Hz)?
I'm presuming that with a suitable adaptor they will, but they won't get that hot (?).

Spyderjon,
This is why i like the passive driers instead of powered. You cannot use a simple adaptor to do what you ask. If the PSU was rated to do both, then it would only be a matter of adapting the plug, but you would need a transformer which could be costly and a pain to carry with you.
Even if the wiring was such that you could 'get away with it', it would be a bad idea.... if something went wrong and a fire started, you could find your insurance foreited (scaremongering but you get the jist!).
WRT the dryzone- they are simply well packaged bags of silica gel. If you were keen to save a few pennies, you could easily make yourself some with a some material, silica gel and a needle and thread

spyderjon, if you're not packing it back, for the same money, consider the PEET's wader dryer models. Those should be available locally at hunt & hiking shops, so no need to order ahead.

We have home made electric boot dryers, basically consisting of a PC fan, a tupperware type box and two lengths of washing machine hoses.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

spyderjon, the hotel we're staying in for the academy has bootwarmers there for us!
When we're down in SLC, then you might need them.
What I tend to do is just bring the boots into the room, and put a fan on them. The warmth of the room dries and heats them.
