Has anyone used the battery powered socks? Do they work? I don't mine my feet being wet but when my toes freeze and get tingly the fun starts to creep out of the day. Friends have tried the waterproof sock and say they do not work well.

Suggestions?

I'll add links as i find them:

I see this second link listed on many different web sites and looks to be the same product. One D battery says it will do about 100 degrees for 4-6 hours. If they work that would be cool.

Cool site with user reviews...

I bought my entire family the waterproof SealSkinz socks and gloves, we all had wet feet and hands, the Sealskinz SUCK! I use neoprene fishing socks and gloves and while they get wet, they usually stay relatively warm. I have never found a "waterproof" sock or glove that is actually "waterproof". Im still searching.

Which is why I'm looking for heat not waterproofing :thumbsup:

GI Joes has these local for $22 so I might just have to give them a try.

Here you go, hook them right up to the 12 volt system on the Husky. When you crash you will still be attached to the bike with warm feet:thumbsup:

I want the battery powered ones for my YZ/KX if they work.

Not the answer to your question, but have you tried the FOX socks that come up to your thigh. I use them at 20 degrees and they are pretty warm.

No, I;m sure i would look sexy in them but my toes are the issue.

They do keep the toes warm. They are thick winter socks.

I purchased a pair of scuba diving socks. My first test ride was Belfair last tuesday and my feet stayed warm all day. I removed the booty from my boot. I put on a pair of wool riding socks then the scuba sock and another wool sock over the scooba sock. very comfortable and warm.

Twenty bucks sounds like a cheap experiment. Let us know if it works. Something else I have been doing in the snow is spraying my boots with that outdoor silicone water repellant stuff before riding. It seems to keep my feet drier. Works for the eastside, maybe not so well in those swimming pool sized puddles you guys deal with.:p

A friend uses a product named "Stopleak" Just sprays it on his boots and can go all day at Belfair Without wet socks.
