Toasty Toes!

While my new boots are keeping my feet fairly warm, I love having toasty warm toes.  So I admit it, I use boot heaters.  I have recently had the opportunity to try out Sidas Pro Battery boot heaters.  I've tried other brands and there are a few great benefits to these heaters.  First off, they have a flatter heating element that covers more of the toe area.  This results in more even heat, keeping all of my toes generally warmer.  The flatness of the heating element also helps to ensure that a tight fitting boot does not become too tight or uncomfortable when the heat element is installed on the insole.

There are 3 heat settings for these heaters, one less than other brands that I've tried.  At the lowest setting it is just enough to keep toes from getting cool.  I tend to use the medium setting the most.  This keep my toes and me very happy.  Good for an average day of skiing.  The highest setting is wonderful on those colder days when you just need a bit more warmth.  When fully charged the battery pack lasts me the whole day at medium no problem.  I've never run it a full day at high, but have gone between medium and high and still had battery remaining at the end of the day.

But what I think is the best feature of this heater is the battery pack!  It's a fraction of the size of the other heaters I've used - 8cm x 4cm x 2cm (3in x 1.5in x 0.75in).  Tiny!  They are super light weight and sit perfectly under the cuff of a ski pant.  And because of the low profile there is no snagging your cuff on the battery pack is pulling it off the power strap.  

Another great feature is the clip for the battery pack.  The clip opens to wrap around the power strap, this results in the battery pack sitting very tightly to the boot.  These last two features make you forget you're wearing the battery pack.  Well, except for the fact that your feet are warm!

These heaters tend to be a bit more expensive than other boot heaters, but I have to say the added cost is well worth it.  I would definitely give these heaters a buy if in the market for new haters.  You can't go wrong with these heaters and having toasty toes.
