 Poster: A snowHead

Hello,
Occupational hazard keeping my boots dry. I've found DryGuy on the web. I'm thinking of buying the most portable version.
http://www.cozywinters.com/bootdryers/
I've got two options:
One warms the air and creates convective circulation (Circulator). The other has a fan aswell as heat (Circulator HDT).
Does anyone have any experience with either? Will the fan hold up over time? Are there other options?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Tirekicker

The PEETs on the same page work extremely well.
Cheap and light and totally noise-free, packable for travel( or get several pairs), they do double duty on running shoes and the tip design really gets the air flow to the toe box area. One of mine has been in almost-continuous service since 1997.
The only reason to spend on the Dry guy, IMO, is if the boot uppers are truly soaked and they need to be dry in less than 2 hours.
PS, for portability IMO -nothing- beats Hot Gear bags http://hotgearbag.com/classic-race.html

Oh, my, yes. Leather gloves - 30 mins, breathable gloves take like 15-20 mins.

tirekicker789, 'chemical' driers, in particular Dryzone, work well in boots and gloves (the boots packs will fit into gloves). They will dry stuff out every night for a week at least without the need for drying themselves, but only require to be stuck on a radiator for a short time (or in a microwave) to dry them out. Nothing to break.

CEM, about 4 minutes, actually, and the Indians are closer, and they all deliver; it was a public service question.

richmond,
Absolutely. When I'm moonlighting in my other job as a pizza delivery boy (money tight in the NHS these days - the GPs have scarfed it all) it fits the bill perfectly

You know it makes sense.

richmond, Ahh right... like the BBC public service broadcasting...good thinking, yes the hotgear bag does stay warm enough to slow the cooling of a take away...just don't put the beers in with the food

Exactly. I'm expecting to be given a small percentage of the licence fee by a grateful government.

that'll be the same grateful government who have sold us up the river in terms of taxes, interest rates, and the economy in general
