Advise for drying drysuit

[BabyLitigator]

I've been struggling with drying my drysuit after use. I use a Hangair with the fan on, and even with several days, if there is meaningful wetness in the boots to start, it's still wet.

I got a bit of a flood rinsing my drysuit Sunday afternoon, dumped out any water, and the boots were still wet on Wednesday. I've now got it hanging with the zip half open and will give it another week or so to dry. At least the flood was clean rinse water.

Any advice for faster drying? I've seen a product in the UK where the fans go all the way to the boots but that doesn't seem to be available in the US and I am not that handy with the types of electronics that will mix with moisture.

Thanks!

Turn the suit inside out as best you can or use a hanger that holds the suit by the boots. Agree the HangAir does very little.

What material is the suit made out of.

What about stuffing the booties with newspaper like in the old times?

I have found that the Hangair is really only good for drying the dampness from condensation and/or sweat. If you have a semi flood or standing water in the boots, the fan doesnt generate enough flow for evaporation.

when I do have instances where I get water in the suit, i'll hang it upside next to a dehumidifier to get as much of the water out as possible.

Just turn it inside out…

Apartment or house? During the late spring to early fall i just hang my equipment outside to be dried in the warm breeze/sun. In the winter I hang it outside until it's done dripping (next day) and then bring it inside to hang in a spare room.

If you're in an apartment you could hang them on your balcony if you have one. If not then hang it over/near one of your heater vents/radiators.

The drysuit ends up inside leaned against a wall on a rack I place inside of it.

Stuff some towels into the boots to get residue moisture out and then let it dry. With as much airflow as possible

Edit: my reading comprehension while at work is terrible. I thought it said wetsuit...

Extend the wires on some Peet's boot driers and drop them down the legs. Then hang up with a big hanger.

Using hairdryer on cold, it takes few hours to dry the suit. If there is any significant water in boots, I also remove insoles
