Why the Zephyr Series Dryers? What sets us apart from other brands?
Airflow
The most important factor in thoroughly drying boots, footwear, and other gear is AIRFLOW. Many boot and glove dryers on the market use oversized computer fans that lose up to 90% of their airflow when fully occupied with equipment. Zephyr Series Dryers use a high-velocity industrial-grade fan 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, standing the test of time.
Versatility
The Zephyr Series Dryers feature a versatile design. The system can be wall-mounted or freestanding. The drying arms with loops can hold gloves, shoes, cleats, skates, hiking boots, and work boots. The hoses can be used to dry ski boots and tall boots that won’t hang on the drying arms. The helmet drying holders can be removed, and the empty port can be capped off if your sport doesn’t require helmets. Whatever works best for you, Zephyr Dryers has you covered.
Off-the-Shelf vs. Proprietary Components
Proprietary components are items 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. Zephyr Dryers has chosen to use high-quality standard electrical components so you can easily replace any parts that might have problems for years to come.
Aluminum vs. Steel
Aluminum is the best metal for use in dryers because it is light, strong, and rust-free. Heavy steel, which is common in many other boot and glove dryers, rusts over time and is extremely heavy, making it difficult to move and mount. The Zephyr Series Gear Dryers by ALPINE DRYERS uses heavy-duty aluminum throughout the device, ensuring 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.
