Third time lucky?
This will be my third pair of battery heated socks.
The first were hopeless and just not as described, I couldn't even get a refund. Sadly I can't remember the supplier now, so can't warn you not to buy from there.
The second pair have done well for a couple of years. I extended the cables to the batteries with speaker wire so I could have them in my pockets rather than in the socks themselves. This kind of works, but it is a bit of a palaver getting dressed with all that cable up the trouser legs!
The plugs can pull out of the batteries if it's not done right and then I get a cold foot!
I think the battery power has been falling off recently and I'm not feeling so much benefit from them.
My new pair, although from the exact same listing as the previous, are so much improved!
The heating is supplied via a flexible pad which wraps round the foot and heats it quite comprehensively. previously they used a heating wire coiled around the foot and they did tend to have hot and cold areas which can feel really weird. (The useless first pair actually branded my feet with the pattern of the wire!)
The two 5000mha batteries are slimmer than the previous and have 4 settings rather than 3. They fit nicely in the pockets at the top of the socks without interfering with my boots.
My first ride was 9° ambient and I had them on "4". I was glad to get home and turn them off, as they were getting a bit too toasty! So lots more power there than the last ones.
Todays ride was 14° ambient and to be honest, not really necessary to even turn the socks on, but I had them on "2" and they were very comfortable, with the low setting heat being very apparent. (Equivalent to flat out on the previous.)
The material is a bit thinner than before, so much more comfortable in my boots, stretchy too, so I can pull them further up my legs. (Not heated beyond the foot though. The heated long johns take over in that area.)
So I'm recommending these if anyone is looking for something like this. A bargain compared to the Kies ones @£90 a pair!
I offered £27 and they shipped straight away. I had them in a couple of days. I think they would have accepted less than that, so give them a try.
