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.
