Drying boots on a dry suit

[large_diver]

Turning inside out works well if you have the kind of "feet" that allow this. Hanging the suit close to a fan helps as well.

The ultimate is Dave's homemade drysuit dryer at the link above.

My booties cannot be turned inside out. So I created a neat drying system.

I hang mine upside down on a "pattern" I made to hold the booties. The neck of the suit is off the floor about a foot or so. I have a blower fan out of a furnace that I point in to a pipe that has 2 more pipes coming out of it that extend into the legs (directly up into the suit). You can watch the legs "inflate" as the air pushes into the feet area.

I haven't checked ut the link to the drysuit dryer mentioned above, but it probably works on the same principle.

If you are interested, I can draw it out on paper, scan it and send it to you via PM...

How come no one's mentioning the drysuit dryer?

Wow! that is slick. I just checked it out and I am ordering the fan today.

I utilized old blowers from furnaces, but this has mine beat hands down.

Thanks for posting the link PNL.

I thought it was pretty slick as well and not too bad for ~$30, eh?

At the OS Systems factory, we use the Cabelas boot dryer with the wader attachment. It runs about $35.
