PEET® Dryer is the original, authentic footwear dryer invented in 1968 by founder Gene Peet. An avid outdoorsman, Gene got fed up with soggy, uncomfortable boots that spoiled enjoying outdoor passions. His American ingenuity created the very first footwear dryer, a clever device that effectively removes wet and sweat while neutralizing odor from footwear and gear. Over 45 years, and millions of dryers later, PEET is still producing the majority of their products in the USA in the same place where it all began, St. Maries, Idaho. At first PEET dryer owners were loggers, guides and hunters. Today PEET Dryers are used and enjoyed by participants in all kinds of pursuits. Beyond footwear, PEET also has products that dry and preserve hand wear, protective head wear, personal hydration systems and firearms in storage. WE INVENTED DRY! (less)
