Capit Suit Dryer is another cool product that can help riders take better care of their gear. Its name says it all: the Suit Dryer is a device that helps remove moisture from all sorts of motorcycle-related garments, but it can also double as a warmer if need be.
The Suit Dryer is exceedingly easy to use, and all it needs is a place to hang and power from a wall outlet. The dryer is made from ABS plastic and aluminum, being both tough and lightweight, and capable of taking on the rigors of heavy-duty usage.
Working with it involves using it almost like a hanger, so the garment "embraces" it. Once the zippers are closed and the Suit Dryer hangs freely, all you need to do is hit the blue power button. Flicking that switch will set in motion the fans inside, creating a stream of air that wicks moisture away.
In case you need to accelerate the process, just flick the red switch and the stream of air will become warm, thanks to the integrated heating element. We guess this feature is also usable if you want to heat your leathers before heading out in less than ideal weather conditions.
When it comes to leathers that are wet, some additional treatment and a gentler drying process could be recommended, just as adding some leather conditioner is. However, if it's only the lining that is damp after a hardcore session at the track, and the inner surface of the leather is only a bit wet, things will most likely work out perfectly.
If using a jacket/trousers combination, we figure out that the Capit Suit Dryer could also be used for the latter, with the provision of using a piece of string to tie the waistline around the device.
You can order the Suit Dryer from the Capit store, for €210 ($233), and you can even get a special floor stand that can be easily dismantled for transport. The Suit Dryer works with 220/230V and 100/110V power sources and can be ordered with plug type European (EU - 220/230 Volt) - English (UK - 230 Volt) - American/Japanese (USA/JPN - 100/110 Volt ) - Australian (AUS - 240 Volt), and it can complement the Helmet Dryer.

Works with one-piece leathers, as well as with jackets, and if you're a bit creative, with trousers, too
The Capit Suit Dryer works with both textile and leather garments, and was engineered to provide the same top-notch service with both of them. Now, Cordura textile jackets and riding suits will dry out much faster because of the very nature of the materials being used.When it comes to leathers that are wet, some additional treatment and a gentler drying process could be recommended, just as adding some leather conditioner is.
