This guide covers what actually happens to neoprene and foam under heat exposure, why that matters for rental fleets that need gear to last multiple seasons, and what to look for in equipment built to dry high volumes of marine gear quickly without that risk. It includes a look at ambient, room-temperature airflow as an alternative to heated drying systems, sizing guidance for operations ranging from a small rental counter to a full-service marina, and the manufacturer guidance that should always take precedence over any drying equipment’s settings.
