The Shell

Hi all,

After several days this year yanking on a cold, wet wetsuit before abalone diving I decided to figure out a better method of drying my wetsuit. It seems that on multiple-day dives nearly everyone does the same thing as me, which is to drape the wetsuit over a tree limb or truck bed and hope for the best. The problem is that no air ever gets into the middle of the wetsuit so it never dries inside.

I've devised a new system for drying wetsuits that is simple, easy to use, and works extremely well. It's basically wetsuit frame that you can stand up (using the included stand) or hang from a tree (using the included rope hanger). It sets up and breaks down easily, takes up very little space for transport, and doesn't even cost half of what an electric suit dryer costs. Oh yeah...and it doesn't need electricity either, so you can take it wherever you are and it'll still dry your suit!

I have an eBay listing for these dryers so I'll just send y'all there. I think including the link in this thread is kililng my post though, so please hit eBay and do a search for ("Wetsuit Dryer"). Mine are the NO ELECTRICITY NECESSARY listings. I've only listed two of them but I'm assembling more as we speak so please send me your questions and/or let me know what you think! Thanks all.
