PSA: Geardryer is in stock

**Cruiser** · 12-07-2021, 01:13 PM

Just got an email this morning that the new Geardryer is in stock. It's been at least a year since they had any to sell.

Geardryer.com

I'm unaffiliated but my neighbors have an older version and it is fantastic cuz their boots are always warm and dry...

We’ve got 2, they are awesome and easy to work with.

Seems like there's an opportunity here for an enterprising engineer.

Have you not paid $900 for a good blow job?

**detrusor** · 12-07-2021, 02:25 PM

It was 2 for 1 when we bought.

Wow. Nice looking product but they need to scale up and get their costs down. I'd buy one for like $300, not $900. That really shouldn't be more than $100 in parts.

Two hair dryers for $25 should do the job.

Doesn't look as nice in the garage next to the Porsche and yeti.

Why is their website so dark, I thought the screen brightness on my monitor needed to be adjusted.

**bamboocoreONLY** · 12-07-2021, 05:00 PM

I’ve been using a Dry Guy for many years and have zero clue why I’d want this haha

**east or bust** · 12-07-2021, 05:35 PM

pretty confident I could build something similar for 1/9 the cost that would push twice as much air

Completely derailing this into Techtalk - apropos DryGuy, does heated air affect boot longevity? I've had a Chinook one for well over a decade that still works and uses ambient air. It needs to be left overnight but now that I'm used to it, I have always wondered about dryers that use hot air and the impact on plastic/cork.

They're not THAT hot

I've been using the travel dryguy in my boots for a long time, I pretty much have to use them, my feet sweat A LOT. I almost always leave them on overnight and no issues with factory liners or intuitions.

**caulfield** · 12-07-2021, 07:00 PM

I think my feet create more heat than my peet dryer

Ok ok engineer here. So check this out:

I pull my liners out of my boots after skiing, and voila dry in the AM. Patent pending.

**muted reborn** · 12-07-2021, 08:19 PM

Just add newspaper

Same, but I use one of the little $40 dryers if it was a really wet day. Liners always come out of the boots though.

Maybe I'd feel different about a $900 dryer if I lived in the PNW.

**Danno** · 12-07-2021, 09:54 PM

I just bought one of those little portable dry guy things and thought I was more pimping. Now I feel so... inadequate.

**cspringsposer** · 12-07-2021, 10:36 PM

Same. They seem to last about 2 years before they burn out, but at $40 a set, I will be long dead by the time I have $900 invested in those little things.

The free standing one that's $90 is what I use and the one I have has been going strong for 12 years or so.

**detrusor** · 12-08-2021, 08:21 AM

I had built my own and it was ok…but these are really good. With 2 kids on ski team and living in the mountains our shit is wet all the time. Hour late, dry and ready to get packed for early morning the night before.
