How to dry booties and gloves?

another option if you have gear that doesn't let in any/much water is to skip rinsing with fresh water. My drylock stuff gets wetter when I rinse it out. I personally don't find that gear lasts any longer by rinsing it with fresh water (contrary to the wetsuit industry's claims). An occasional rinse will keep away sand buildup though.

 

just buy rip curls "Piss Off" wetsuit shampoo. just use it once every 2 weeks or whatever and it will clean it and take care of the smell. it only costs like $8

Just hold your boots and gloves up to your car heater right before you go out. That's if you drive to your shred spot. Cold, wet boots and gloves builds character. Good Lord by the time you dry your rubber and press your steamer(ha that's for you Australians out there) the swell will have dropped.

As for the smell.......embrace it. Make your car stink. Scare non-surfing friends and family. Leave them wet boots right in the trunk or back of your vehicle. Let them fester. Nothing says, to your investment banker friends, "Hey look I am a sub-culture surf dude," better than a boot-rot smelling car.

Oh since BODYGLOVE is a sponsor I would like to inform them that they messed up a pair of boots I bought some time ago. They lasted FOREVER.......Man, boots and especially gloves are produced to rip, tear and get holes in them in like one to three months. Never fails......except for this pair of five mil booties I got from BODYGLOVE. Man they lasted a long time......like forever. That's BODYGLOVE.

 

yet another option...try the new Flashbomb line from Rip Curl. They apparently dry pretty fast.

 

DryGuy really does work

If you can spare the cash, the dry guy really does work. You can normally dry the gloves without using it by turning them inside out, but booties are hard to do this too and relentless in their stink. I've never had trouble with neoprene drying out, but I'm from the PNW where everything is moist.

 

Now THAT's the DIY spirit I love.

 

Would you mind posting a picture of it?
