Koojan Downs' 'Dry Gums' Innovation
What's the issue/challenge?
Dry Gums was designed to keep gum boots dry on the back of the ute when raining, as sometimes it's best not to bring them in the cab when they are too muddy or smelly!
How does the innovation/idea work?
Dry Gums helps to dry your boots with its upright position and aerated design, whilst maintaining functionality with a lightweight, but strong frame that adjusts to fit most ute tray headboards. When your Dry Gums is no longer needed, simply remove it and store away for the summer!
Cost of Innovation:
$60
The winning innovation will be selected ‘by popular vote’ and announced during SmartBeef23.
