Insta Dry Boot Question

Any body use these? Henderson Insta Dry Boot reviews and discounts, Henderson
I'm diving 2-3 times a day. I hate having to put on cold wet boots. Is this the cure? My plan B is to buy a couple of more pair of boots. It looks like the cost of a couple of more boots that I use now, is about the same as buying the insta dry boots. Any thoughts?

I have some for that very reason, I think cold wet boots are just icky to put on. They do dry quickly and all they are claimed to be.

Yes. I love my insta dry boots. They don't stink. They actually dry between dive days. (as long as you don't leave them full of water, of course... stored upside down so they can drain, they WILL dry overnight)

The only downside is the outer material doesn't wear as well as regular nylon-covered neoprene, so they'll show wear faster and will need to be replaced (or at least patched) sooner. Well worth it, though, IMO.

Why not just pour warm water into your booties?

Where do you get the warm water?

I wrote the one review on the ST site. Love mine but when I have done more than one dive in a day it's been pretty much back to back so I left them on.

Going to Cocoview in April so will know then how they perform on multiple dives per day when taking them on and off!
