Made the switch to Zipfits and now need some heat. VT Joey said Lenz socks over in the Zipfit thread. What do I want that just works?

Lenz, thermic, or hottronic heated stuff is the best. $200 ish for a package
Double that for socks (or more) . . . and don't get the small batteries.Quote:

Suggestions where? Might do this...Quote:

Next up for me will be heated gloves.
Yep, saved over $100 on an extra set of Lenz batteries for those spare socks.Quote:

Seems like warming store has 20% off with FB20 and then ActiveJunky 8% as well. Edit: 20% coupon voids the cashbackQuote:

Super stoked on the new Thermi-Ic heated socks. After struggling with busted wires on heated Sidas footbeds over the yrs these have been a godsend. Bunch of subzero pow days and 2 days of standing in the snow for the kids' freeride comps have sold me....
yeah, the shipping batteries from Europe seems a problem, how long does it take?
I bought a heated boot bag from Skatepro. The website ended in .ca so I assumed it was Canadian.
The bag has a 12v plug for the car but the other plug is european voltage so I would need a transformer to use it in the house.
Shipping was fast though.
Happy with my hottronics 1800 Bluetooth setup Works well, heats good and minor change in feel of footbed

New to this world but between age and a few frostnip days last year now have been getting cold / numb big toes only . I have an intuition and a tight shell fit in a Cochise so use ultralight socks. Have custom footbeds and not much instep room at all so between that and the intuition don't know if a bootsole heater is an option. But are there any truly ultralight heated socks either? WWJD?
fwiw i have lenz 6.1 socks in xl that are a little big; only worn a couple times .....i ended up getting same in a large. anyone can pm me if interested, then just need the battery packs.
i have a real tight fit on my mach 1 lv''s....i hear you on the socks - these lenz 6.1 socks are thin enough for meQuote:

The Costco ones list a higher Merino content, btw.
