Over all the years I was snow goose and duck outfitting, I wore chest waders much of the time and knee boots the rest of the time. One season I hunted 27 out of 29 straight days. Wet, clammy boots were something I dealt with daily but awful to put on so I had to have a dryer that would dry my waders from dripping wet to bone dry overnight. I bought a Maxx Dry XL fan-forced drier and will never own anything else.
