Dry from the Inside Out
Experience spa-like freshness with the Leeward towel dryer. Warm, low-temperature air is blown through a perforated tube to dry towels from the inside out, keeping them fresh and pre-warmed for a perfect touch.
The Inside-Out Process
Step 1: The Setup
Hang your towel over the vertical air tube so the tube sits inside the fold. The vent cap holds it in place.
Step 2: The Warmth
Warm air (30-42°C) is blown through the perforated tube, pre-warming the towel and ensuring a spa-like freshness before you even touch it.
Step 3: The Finish
Warm air flows out through the tube from the inside, so moisture leaves from the core of the towel outward. It comes off dry, fresh and warm.
WHY LEEWARD
Faster Drying
Air moves through the towel from the inside, not just around it.
Spa Freshness
No more musty odors. Our low-temperature air ensures your towels stay fresh and clean.
Pre-Warmed Towels
Enjoy a warm, cozy touch before you even step out of the shower.
Low-Heat Design
A gentle 30-42 C airflow, designed to dry and warm without high heat.
Quiet Operation
Designed to sit quietly in a bathroom or guest suite.
Introducing the Leeward Duo
Two Towels, His and Hers
The Leeward Duo gives each towel its own warm-air tube with independent settings, so one towel can dry while the other warms. One brushed aluminum case, one cord, two people who never share a damp towel again. In development alongside the Leeward Wall.
Introducing the Leeward Counter
Warm, Dry Hands in the Kitchen
The Leeward Counter brings the same inside-out drying to the kitchen. A compact brushed-aluminum base, a single warm-air tube, and a vented cap hold your hand towel open so it dries from the core in minutes and never goes sour. Plugs into a standard outlet with a low-voltage adapter. In development alongside the Leeward Wall.

Common Questions
How does the inside-out drying work?
Our patent-pending perforated tube sits inside the towel, allowing warm air to be blown through the fabric from the inside out, ensuring a fresh, musty-smell-free experience.
How warm does it get?
Leeward is designed to run in a gentle 30-42°C range, warm enough to dry and pre-warm a towel without high heat.
What is the energy efficiency?
Leeward is designed around low-temperature air and a small fan rather than high heat. We will publish measured energy use ahead of launch.
Is there a scent option?
Leeward is being designed with an optional scent pad that adds a light fragrance to the warm airflow as the towel dries.
What are the different models?
Three models are in development: the Leeward Wall, a single wall-mounted unit in brushed aluminium; the Leeward Duo, a his-and-hers version with two independent tubes in one case; and the Leeward Counter, a compact countertop unit for kitchen hand towels. Portable and hospitality versions will follow, so join the launch list to hear about them first.
When is the Kickstarter launch?
The official Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to launch soon. We invite you to join our launch list to be the first to receive updates and pre-order options.
