foot warmers

Has anybody tried these electric foot warmers? I would like to know if they are worth considering
as my feet are the only bit of me that ever gets cold.

Not tried them.

Tips for foot warmth:

Don't have your shoes too tight (poor circulation doesn't help toe cosiness)

Wear a hat. A large (third?) proportion of body heat escapes through the head. The body conserves
vital services (brain, heart, digestion etc) by limiting losses to non essentials, like toes, by
restricting blood flow to them.

Wouldn't the length of the flex put a limit on your cycling?

(someone had to be first!)

I'm *shocked* that it was you. Indeed, I find it a *negative* post from you. I think I should *pull
the plug* on this thread.

Cheers, helen s ;-)

I don't have electric feet so I just bought some of yer regular neoprene overshoes. I have to walk through the greenwich foot tunnel (200yds) on my commute so the soles of the overshoes look a bit manky but I only wear them a few days of the year. They make a huge difference though

Why this resistance? I feel the thread has a lot of potential and addresses a very current concern,
in a live, neutral and down-to-earth manner met with at low frequency in this charged field at a
time of high tension.

*Watt* are you going *on* about? I've never *hertz* such a load of rubbish.

And without so much as a period of inductance.

(Top posting corrected)

Presumably these are battery operated gadgets. How much juice do they consume? You may find that a
battery to operate them for a long enough time will weigh too much to be practical.

Are they specifically aimed at cyclists or are they for motorcyclists?

The hunt'n, shoot'n an' fish'n fraternity use hand warmer thingies that you put charcoal in. I don't
know how well they work but they might be lighter than batteries, and if you can stick one in a
glove I would think you can stick one in an overboot.

Mind you, good socks, my lovely SIDI winter boots, and (if wet) overboots, and ... no problem. Who
needs heaters when you've got insulation?

That somehow reminds me of a quote from Terry Pratchett. "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day,
but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life."

There are a couple of systems that might be made to work without requiring actual combustion. Look
at motorcycle-uk.comGialiheatedclothing.htmlOpen ↗ for Klan heated socks at £59.99. Mind
you I think the necessary 24 watts at 12 volts could be a bit of a challenge. There are also
chemical systems such as the one featured at heatfactory.comheatfactory.comOpen ↗ .

Glider pilots have been known to try variations on both methods for flying at altitude. I have heard
of at least one pilot making an emergency landing when his feet got too hot to bear, to the general
amusement of those on the airfield. It's probably much easier to deal with burning feet on a bike
ride though than in a cramped glider cockpit at 18,000'.
