Product Line Review: DryGuy Drying Accessories

Any winter sports enthusiast is familiar with the cold, wet feeling of snow that’s crept in between the cracks of your clothes and seeped into your wrists, ankles, and neck. It’s not necessarily the memories you keep with you while on a sledding or skiing trip, but, then again, it doesn’t exactly help things during the fact, either.

Still other enthusiasts are even more familiar with the moisture that necessarily rubs off on boots, shoes, and ski boots: coming indoors from a nice lengthy winter activity is like unloading soaked armor. It’s impossible not to make a mess. The DryGuy line of drying products for your winter accessories is the antidote, and not only that, the preventive medicine, to the pain of soaked, freezing clothes.

DryGuy is essentially a portable drying machine that dries off boots and other accessories one pair a time. There are a number of DryGuy products, including a footwear dryer that is designed to pre-heat gloves, shoes, and boots to give you comfortable entry into the cold world outdoors. If you’ve ever lacked the motivation to go outside during a freezing cold day to shovel snow, you don’t have to be a winter sports enthusiast to appreciate the benefits of DryGuy products.

You might wonder why you’d by a DryGuy when you have a drying machine already, and that’s a valid question. Much of the problem with DryGuy products is that most of the work they do is already done by your drying machine. The only thing that’s overlooked by the drying machine – simply because of logistics – is the ability to dry off shoes and boots, including ski boots. It simply can’t be done with a conventional dryer – make sure to take our word for it. You’ll want to use a DryGuy exclusively for your shoes and boots.

Some DryGuy products also come with an air blaster that dries out the insides of boots that can’t be opened inside out to be dried well in the drying machine. This clears out the moisture quickly so that you can even take a quick “drying” break during an all-day long ski session.

In addition to greater versatility over dryers, DryGuy usually offers portable devices that can be taken with you on vacations: if you’re accustomed to the Florida or California sun before heading out to the Rockies, for example, you might want to prepare for your trip with a DryGuy. You might not appreciate the logistics now, but when the insides of your boots are wet, you’ll remember what you should have done.

Of course, DryGuys are also quite limited because of their portability, meaning they can only service a few boots at a time. Keep this in mind as a necessary evil for the convenience of traveling with your own drying machine. If you’re a frequent visitor of the great (and snowy) outdoors, the DryGuy is a great “have” to have.
