ActionHeat Cotton AA Battery Unisex Heated Socks

I sometimes must ride my motorcycle in sub-30 degree weather for 3 hours or so, and previous attempts at avoiding frozen feet and toes included using exothermic insoles like “Toasty Toes” and, naturally, extra thick socks designed for hunters and the like. Neither approach proved successful, so it was with some trepidation that I decided to try a pair of these. I am happy to report that they worked quite nicely. At first, putting on my boots with the socks already powered up (since I could not reach the power switches when my pants were on) I was a little concerned, in that I had hoped to feel a blush of warmth which did not happen. However, after three hours riding in temperatures that ranged from the low 20’s to below 14 degrees (I don’t know how much lower, as the readout on my dash just turned to hyphens below 14) my feet were completely comfortable. Can’t get better than that! I guess longer battery life would be nice, but since it uses AA batteries for longer trips it would be a matter of replacing the batteries themselves – meaning, at lesat in my case, the need to undress to reach the battery packs tucked into the tops f the socks. But that’s a small price to pay for comfortable feet in really cold circumstances.
