ALPINE DRYERS Black Diamond Wall Mounted 2-Pair Locker Boot and Glove Dryer

Why ALPINE DRYERS? What sets us apart from other brands?

ALPINE DRYERS^® is one of the most powerful drying systems on the market today. It delivers a high CFM of airflow to speed up drying. The system uses ambient air, which means it is safe to use even on the most delicate athletic gear.

Airflow
The most important factor in thoroughly drying boots, footwear, and other gear is AIRFLOW. So many boot and glove dryers on the market use oversized computer fans that lose up to 90 percent of their airflow when fully occupied with equipment. ALPINE DRYERS^® Black Diamond Series Models use high velocity industrial grade fans to ensure a quick and thorough drying experience. Our fans are some of the most powerful in the industry and have been in operation for over 20 years and stood the test of time.

What makes ALPINE DRYERS Black Diamond Series stand out is that we use the most powerful fans with each unit to offer excellent drying abilities. Other boot and glove drying systems tend to use small computer style fans that lead to longer drying times and, unfortunately, gear that may not get fully dry at all. You can avoid that frustration by choosing ALPINE DRYERS.

Off-the-Shelf vs Proprietary Components
Proprietary components are items that are made by a specific manufacturer only for use in their equipment. If a machine using proprietary components breaks, you must replace those parts through the company that built the machine. Because manufacturing of these parts usually ceases after about 10 years or less, you may find you need to replace the entire unit even if only a small part malfunctions. Off-the-shelf components are standard parts with long manufacturing lives. ALPINE DRYERS^® has chosen to use high quality standard components so you can easily replace any parts that might have problems for years to come.

Metal vs Plastic
We all know that plastic parts are easily damaged. Too many boot dryers on the market rely on plastic parts that have to be regularly replaced and can cause long down times. ALPINE DRYERS^® uses high strength powder coated aluminum instead of plastic.

Aluminum vs Steel
Aluminum is the best metal for use in dryers because it is light, strong and it never rusts. Heavy steel, which is common in many other boot and glove dryers, rusts over time. It is also extremely heavy, making it difficult to move and mount. ALPINE DRYERS^® uses aluminum throughout the device, which ensures there will be no rust at any time in the future. Though aluminum is about three times the cost of steel, it is much longer lasting. In the long run, buying a machine fully made from aluminum really pays off.

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.
