    bajakirch ^Not what you think

    I've got a Peet that I use as a shoe, boot, glove and helmet dryer.

    Works great and I think it cost me something like $35.

    I use the same fan, very important when you live in AZ. As soon as I come off the track it's on that fan. Usually after last session/race I'll pack everything else and do it last, it is usually dry by the time I am ready to head out. I also usually put my gloves in through the visor opening and they get dried at the same time.

    Get yourself a Hang-Dry from Adrenaline City Racing.

    It will dry your helmet, suit, gloves, and boots and will become invaluable to you once you use it.
    Never have a smelly gear again.
    Really is one of those products you can't live with out. Wish I got ours years ago!

    This. I use a Hang-Dry for my suit, and this little fan for my helmet. I actually keep three of these fans in my trailer. My kids used them at college and donated them to the race effort when they graduated.

    Another trick to keep your helmet smelling nice: Wipe the inside with a Downy dryer sheet. Don't leave the sheet in there, the smell gets TOO nice. Just store the sheet in a ZipLoc bag, and wipe the DRY helmet line before storage, and it will smell fresh for many years. The odor of year-old sweat will gag you on your first Spring ride.:Puke:

    I am thinking about getting some small fans and running them off of a couple is solar panels.
     
  14. Those Turbo fans work great. Can't remember the name, but they have them at Lowes for like $50. Dries my helmet in about 5-10min.

    We had some Christmas yard inflatables give up the ghost this year.
    The blower fans still work, but not well enough to keep the decoration fully erect or the decoration had a hole letting air out.

    So between the Christmas and Halloween stuff, I have made a boot dryer, helmet dryer and suit blower.

    All free and work great.

    Have three of those as well. They're nice cause they're easy to throw in with your gear and can turn vertical with a good amount of air for their size. You can also get them at Lowes/Target/Walmart/HomeDepot/Amazon on the cheap.
