My mom saw the HangAir Wetsuit Dryer on my Amazon wishlist and wanted to get it for me, but since she doesn’t quite have the hang yet of online ordering, she sent me a check and told me to buy it. Drying my 5/4 is about a two-day process, and I thought it would be great to speed that up to mere hours.
Unfortunately, the HangAir is another surfing product designed for men only, and large men at that. The unit is enormous, with giant linebacker shoulders formed of hard plastic. Consequently, it just is not physically possible to insert the HangAir into the neck opening of my zipperless-entry women’s size 2 wetsuit. Yes, this is the same opening that accomodates my entire body, but the inflexible HangAir portion that needs to fit through it is several inches greater in circumference than my hips. Although I can hang my warm-water zipper-entry suits from this device, I’d be concerned about shortening their lifespan by overstretching the shoulders while using it. Unless you’re built like a football player, don’t waste your money on a HangAir.
Not going to happen, my friend.
