I have 2 dryers, a 2 post folding one and a 4 post one. With 3 kids we always are running them in the winter and spring.

We're happy with both.

I've had this one for 10-12 years and has served me well. Heat/no heat and a timer for the fan up to 3 hours. Used almost daily during turkey season and deer season.

Same here.  I use for boots and gloves.  Didn't know about Peet but may get one for waders.

Costco had a double Peet's on sale last year, comes in really handy for when the kids play in the snow to dry gloves ect. Keep mine at the cabin

My son has an electric Peet which works great.  I have a propane Peet that I bought for hunting trips with my tent.  That one if pretty slow and works OK.

I have a Field & Stream Boot dryer. Inexpensive, works great. Had it for about 10 years so far....

I have the floor model Peet and also the travel model that are handy when flying somewhere to hunt.

Bought some waterproof socks this spring and while reading up on waterproof liners I found out most liners have a spray on membrane that is heat sensitive. Makes sense now that all the stuff I buy that's not Gortex starts leaking after the 1st winter when I start using my boot dryers. Pretty sure it's affected some of my breathable waders as well.

Another Peet fan.  I put an inverter in the bed of my truck for it.  Quite the convenience when on the road and living out of a vehicle.

Never had that problem but will keep it in mind, thanks for the tip. What brand of socks did you end up getting and is there much of a seam on them? Thanks.

I bought the Randy Sun knee high socks. Barely noticeable seems in the toe area but have you to look hard to see them. I tucked my pant legs in to my boots to keep ticks out and thorns got in and poked holes in them. I'd have to go with the gator route to keep thorns out if I were to buy another pair or 2.
They worked great until the thorns got into my boots.

Thanks. How are the seems on the tops and bottoms? I have nerve damage in my left foot pretty bad and tend to feel every little wrinkle.

Truly not trying to start an argument, but I do not understand the tuck the pants in the [boots] keep ticks out thing, it would seem it would allow them to fall into the boots vs. tying the pants at the bottom snugly especially if pants and boots were treated with Permethrin. Again truly not trying to start an argument.

Edit: I can see your method working well with the gaiters you mention.
