A multi-position hanger is disclosed. The hanger comprises a hook member with a hook portion and a stem portion, a wishbone rotatably attached to the stem portion, and a pants bar rigidly attached to the wishbone. The wishbone comprises first and second arms and a hook-shaped slot defining first and second end surfaces facing a front lateral face of the wishbone. The stem portion of the hook member extends through and is translatable within the hook-shaped slot. The wishbone and the pants bar are selectively repositionable with respect to the hook member when the hook portion hangs on a support between a kick out orientation of the hanger with the pants bar positioned at a first lateral position with respect to a centerline extending vertically downward from the wishbone, and a nested orientation with the pants bar positioned at a second lateral position with respect to the centerline.

Portable assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a housing; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to or inserted into the housing, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The assemblies may include a handle or strap for transporting the assemblies. The air may be provided by a fan or blower, and may be heated. The projections can be pivotally mounted in different directions and extend and retract into the housing. The retracted projection may be flush with the surface of the housing when not in use.

A hanger cover extends between a first end and a second end. The hanger cover includes a pair of wings coupled together, each of the pair of wings having a pair of substantially parallel branches spaced apart by a channel and joined at a junction, wherein the pair of wings are rotatable relative to one another.
