How will all my gear dry in time without heat!!

My boiler is going to be out for the next week or so. My washer and drier work and I usually just put the stuff in the washer and hang dry it. Sometimes i put it on no heat in the washing machine just to soften my gi up. I have about 3 gis so thats not a problem but as of now i just have 1 atama rashy ( im waiting for my loosefit sprawl longsleeve to arrive) is it ok if I use the drier for this week or am i screwed?

It takes so much longer to hang dry when its not hot outside/ theres no heat in the laundry room (thats where it dries)

If you're using good synthetic microfiber gear then it should dry enough in the course of the day if you only train once a day... it sucks for a couple minutes and then you warm it right up.

alright hopefully all goes well, i plan on training everday this week. On a side note is it ok that i put my gi in the drier on the lowest setting (basically no heat) just to make the fabric nice or no? Ive putten my rashguard in there without a problem a few times, i just hope it doesnt ruin my stuff in the long run.

Since koral is preshrunk you can put it in the drier? Or is it just a thing that messes up the integrity of the gi?

dryers + rashguards = pilling, logo damage, fabric breakdown (re: elasticity) and global warming.

not necessarily in that order.
