Seems most of the new, high-end enclosed trailers have gear drying systems in them. How well do these systems actually work for everyone and do you count on them to get your gear dry before riding for the next day?
My riding group typically does day trips anymore so everyone peels their gear off and it goes in a bag and home that night. However, on the last overnight trip I did two of the guys left their gear in the dryers of the Trails West trailer we were using. Their stuff wasn't quite all the way dry the next day after the heater timed out. Is this pretty common? Doesn't really seem like a worthwhile feature in that case.
I sweat so much I pretty much have to get my gear inside and fully laid out or it won't be dry the next day. Boots have to go on a dedicated boot dryer over night too. My experience may be different though because I sweat like it's my job when I'm riding. I even wear minimal layers and non-insulated gear.
