Many winter sports enthusiasts have experienced it – cold toes. Especially if you spend an entire day on the slopes and the temperatures are below freezing, there can come a time when your feet get sore because they no longer get warm. A thick pair of ski socks can sometimes help but at some point, which is no longer enough either, in which case a sock with built-in heating is an ideal solution. As soon as your feet get cold, simply turn on the heater and you can enjoy your descent again.
The socks feature a heating element which sits around the toes. Once the toes are heated, the heat is radiated to the rest of your foot. This allows you to heat your entire foot with a relatively small surface area. The heating element gets its power from a battery that you can easily change. As soon as it is empty, it can be recharged, and you can then enjoy warm feet again.
Several models of the heated sock are available, those from BERTSCHAT stand out in terms of quality, warmth and wearing comfort. The advantage of this brand is that the heating element is placed on the outside of the sock, so you are not bothered by the wires while walking. You do not feel that you are walking on them. As a result, you can wear them all day without it hurting or becoming uncomfortable.
There are different versions available but what you should pay attention to as a skier is that the sock is long enough. Because the battery is attached to the sock, it is important that the battery reaches above your ski boot. If this is not the case, your ski boot cannot close properly, and you will miss out on the stability you need to ski properly. If you are going to use the socks for other purposes, a shorter model is also available, this comes above the ankle and is suitable for the avid hiker or cyclist.
The socks are adjustable in several settings so you can always get the optimal temperature. If you are all wrapped up in your ski outfit, you do not have to take everything off to adjust the heating. The socks come with a remote control that allows you to turn the heating up, down or off with a simple press of a button.
You can imagine that putting the heater on the highest setting will require more energy to heat the sock. There are different batteries available that allow you to choose whether you want to heat a little less or a little longer. The larger the capacity of the battery, the longer you can heat with it.
