MaxxDry Dirt Bike Boot Dryer Review

There's nothing worse than putting a fresh set of socks into a wet boots. On most 2 day dirt bike rides your boots are either wet from a creek crossing or sweat. Having dry boots for me is as important as having a fresh set of jersey and pants. 

How It Works:

I was surprised how fast the MaxxDry Dryer dry's a set of boots or 2. The typical drying time for 4 boots (Which is the best way to keep the unit balanced) is right at an hour. In some cases it takes longer like when you have to dump out water before drying or when it's cooler out. At most 2 day dual sports we dry 3-4 sets of boots along with some gloves and helmets in about 3-4 hours. (Tip- using all 4 drying tubes yields better results than leaving a tube empty.) 

Ways To Improve:

The plastic tube extenders tend to put extra stress on the base when drying boots, and in my opinion the plastic is a little thin which could result in a crack. My unit is still un-cracked, but I'm careful when loading boots.  

Conclusion:

In a perfect world I would bring 2 sets of boots to each event, but unfortunately I don't have the money. So keeping my only set dry keeps them from breaking down and mold free. Also after a hot ride a little fresh air in the boots helps keep the smell down. At $73 (on Amazon found HERE) this boot dryer is cheaper than a set of boots. If you don't want to dry helmets you can get a unit for around $53 HERE. The group I ride with 4-5 of us share one unit so your buddies will enjoy your purchase or you can go halves.
