    I was wonderin if anyone has any tips on gettin your boots and gloves dry in between sessions ... its super annoying to get them on when they are soaked ... my suit isn't a problem just mainly my gloves ... tried settin up a fan overnight but was still wet and cold in the morning

    i find it easier to get boots on when they are wet. wet suit, more difficult. gloves, near impossible.

    I put my gloves near warm things. Heaters, vents, car dashboard, fireplace, etc. Not good for rubber, but I don't care, haven't had a problem. I mean, don't put them so close they melt....just close enough.

    Find a big spoon, put your boots in them and hold a lighter under it

    Boot and glove dryer. No fan, just sends warm air up pipes into boots and gloves.

    Bone dry in a little over an hour, less depending on how wet they are.

    In a pinch Ill throw my gloves and booties in front of the dehumidifier and fill them with old, balled up newspaper. Works well enough in about 2-3 hours

    do you turn your gloves inside out when you dry them? they will dry much faster that way, at least the inside will which is all that matters since thats all that will be touching your skin

    I put mine next to the radiator in the winter, and if it's too warm for the heat to kick on, I set them on the top of the hot water heater. Moving air won't do much, but heat will.
