Got a set of heated socks to complete the set. Do the heated socks go over your regular socks or worn in place of regular socks. Dumb question but I don't know the answer.
Yes, What Steve said.I always wear a thin pair under the heated socks I don't like to have any heated gear right against my skin.
They are much better Phil you cant feel the wires and the foot of the sock is a bit thicker/padded I can wear them all day with no discomfort. The old ones wires would cut into my toes.I hope the newer versions have much thinner heating elements.
You would be amazed at the difference a heated jacket and gloves will make. Opens up the riding season to year round unless there is ice and snow. ;-)Wouldn't mind a pair of these socks either, the only place I get cold is the feet, though I suppose a heated vest and seat would be great too but that might be taking it too far
Steve - Which brand do you have (for future reference)? I found these work well on my ST1100s for keeping my feet warmer -They are much better Phil you cant feel the wires and the foot of the sock is a bit thicker/padded I can wear them all day with no discomfort. The old ones wires would cut into my toes.
W-n-S socks are designed to go over a thin sock. No padding at all on them, they are different from the Gerbins in looks and function.Warm&Safe (lower cut) probably should go directly on your foot. They are washable synthetic material and like Steve said, have a bit of a padded sole.
Hmm, with the new 'Gerbing' company (or Gyde or whatever they are called), I really don't know the answer or what kind of warranty they will stand behind.Guys, how durable are the Gerbing sox?
My wife & I are considering them for our new ski boots. In the past we have used Hotronic boot heaters, but they require cutting the boot liner to insert the heating element under the ball of the foot.
I am not wanting to do this on the new boots.
+1 ... I never cared much for the idea of "wired" socks, but the Gerbings heated insoles have been great. If the bottoms of my feet are warm, that warm rises inside my boot and my feet remain very comfortable. I use an unheated insole during warmer months, so there's no change in material thickness (or discomfort) when I switch to the heated insoles.You might also look at heated inner soles as another option.
