Why Use a Boot Dryer?

Facts:

• Feet and hands have the highest number of sweat glands per square inch.
• Moisture breeds fungus and bacteria that create odor.
• Cold is caused by the loss of heat
• Moist garments are up to 23 times colder than dry garments.
• Because boots, shoes and gloves are closed end garments, they do not dry well without the aid of dryers.

When Hands and Feet Are Wet and Uncomfortable...

• Wet hands and feet can often be uncomfortable AND unavoidable. Not hard to understand when one considers the following:
  • "Feet perspire more than any other part of your body except your head and hands. Each foot perspires about 1/4 cup of water a day at rest and one full cup when active." (W.L. Gore and Associates, 1994)
  • "Wet conductive heat loss is 23 times greater than dry heat loss." (W.L. Gore and Associates, 1994)

Staying Dry and Comfortable

• With each day of use, additional moisture buildup makes it more difficult to keep hands and feet dry and comfortable.
• Maintaining dry hand and footwear helps in maintaining dry comfort and warmth.
• Using a Boot & Glove Dryer minimally on a daily basis helps maintain dry hand and footwear.
