 Poster: A snowHead

OK, so having had another fight with the boot liners, despite the best advice and demo by CEM at MK, I've finally sprung for a boot drier. I got a Therm-ic one from Snow and Rock - they had it reduced a bit. Good service actually I ordered late Thursday night on the web and it turned up this morning. I'm looking forward to warm boots next year, and am hopeful that there might be enough time in an evening to get the kids boots dry with it too. Kids with warm dry feet sound a good idea.

I use the 'Dampire' silica crystals in bags. Work really well and don't need power, so good for US as well as Europe.

Spyderman, Yep....I use the Dampire bags too....they're great, dry my boots out in no time which is a spectacular feat when you consider how soggy they get! They're a bit heavy for the old luggage allowance though...don't know how they compare to the electric gizmos on that front.

ive got three of them and when we get home from a hard day they go straight into the boots and by morning weve got dry toasty warm boots, one of the best little gadgets i have ever bought.

R32 Nah, compared to your's the 'hairdryer' type are way more expensive, are noisy at night & prone to baggage handler damage.

Yes, but only if you fly - I try to drive where possible - and I'd bet a cushioning of ski gear around it in a suitcase equal to baggage handlers anyday

Whats wrong with putting boots or liners on a warm (ie not scolding hot) radiator?

Nowt, we're just gearHeads with time on our hands & money in our pockets

You know it makes sense.
|

Oh dear, now I'm a gearhead with more money than sense - not only have I been done for a noisy bootdrier that's going to be bust by the time I get it there, but I didn't need it when I have access to a warm radiator, and now I'm a GearHead - sheesh.....I can't win!

I still wish to know how many actually use suitcases  instead of giant wheeled bags adapted for ski gear.
I think I threw out the last of mine in 1984 or thereabouts.
