The problem is where they put the batteries. The ones I have tried didn’t work very well.
You gotta quit wearing those Van's man.
The problem with any heated clothing is going to be the breathability...if you have the socks on and hike you will be more likely to have sweaty feet...same with the vests...the pads that heat don't breath Now if you pack them they could be great, very popular on the east coast For the west it's more of a novelty in my opinion but sometimes that's just what's needed to keep behind the glass

First, we have a lot of parents within our alpine ski race team that use heated socks. Some parents do more standing around than they otherwise could if they were to ski harder and get the blood flowing. And others just have circulation issues with age. The socks work good for attaching to socks above the ski boots and putting the battery pack under the pant leg. They are using 3 different brand of heated socks. Cheap ones, and 2 brands that are expensive. i can verify the brands in the next couple of week when the mtn opens.I have very sweaty feet, and thus get cold when i sit down or stop to glass. I carry an extra pair of socks and will rotate them when i sit down to glass and start to get cold. I have thought for the last two years, what if i carried a third set of socks that were battery heat for a few spots where there are very long days of glassing in cold and windy weather. a guy could then swap back to traditional merino socks once they need to hike out or start covering ground again, should the battery pack prove to be an inconvenience.
