Hangair, Wetsuit Drying System

Hangair, Inc.

WHY USE A HANGAIR SYSTEM?:


Nobody likes to squeeze into a smelly wetsuit that is not dry, especially on a cold day. The Hangair System drys your wetsuit in hours rather than days. The quick drying time also helps eliminate odors and shortens the time it takes to dry a suit by up to 70 percent. Water-skiers, wakeboarders, scuba divers and surfers will all appreciate this device.

HOW DOES IT WORK?:


This wide hanger (doesn't damage the wetsuit shoulders) has a fan in it powered by a low voltage 12V motor. Plug the Hangair into a regular AC power outlet. It also runs on low enough voltage to be powered by a car adapter.

WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA?:


According to PRWeb, "Twenty-three-year-old Michael Appelman, an avid surfer and scuba diver, knew there had to be a better way. His early-morning surfing in a cold, wet, stinky wetsuit made his recreation time almost unbearable. So Michael set out to develop a sports apparel drying system for his personal use. He’s done that – and more." Appleman tinkered with several prototypes and knew he might have a marketable product when friends tested them and wouldn't give them back.

WHERE DO YOU BUY THE HANGAIR WETSUIT DRYING SYSTEM?:

EVERYONE WHO OWNS A WETSUIT COULD BENEFIT FROM A HANGAIR!:

I'm looking forward to getting a Hangair of my own. Waiting on a wetsuit to dry can feel like an eternity, especially in the winter time when the outside air temperature stays cool. There could be an end to no longer getting into a crisp cold wetsuit. This will come in handy for people who like to participate in waterskiing, wakeboarding, or other water sports in the morning and then again a few hours later in the day. I am also a scuba diver and when traveling I frequently have morning and afternoon dives. This will eliminate having to travel with two wetsuits.
