    Abstract: An accessory drying insert system consisting of a flexible cylinder shaped body made of cloth fabric which is filled with reusable desiccant beads. A fabric loop is attached at one end to facilitate removal from object being dried. The cloth wicks the moisture so it is drawn to the desiccant, where the desiccant traps the moisture. The desiccant beads are packed within the cylinder shaped body tight enough to give it shape, but loose enough to make the insert flexible like a bean bag in order to allow for easy installation and removal from the accessory being dried. The flexibility of the insert allows the drying system to be used for a multitude of accessories including boots, shoes, socks, gloves, waders, helmets, hats, gear bags, and sleeping bags. The desiccant beads allow for easy regeneration by placing the insert in direct sunlight, near or on a heat source, or by heating in a microwave oven.
