Been using those straps for quite a few years. Better than Bindas and I’ve run out of Bindas.
I have a friend who is a tinkerer. PHD in geophysics but cheap. He made his own heated insoles. Badly. He’s skiing one day with his tunes on in his ear buds and some guy starts yelling at him. No idea what the guy is saying but as he’s telling the story he’s mouthing what the guy was yelling at him. YOUR PANTS ARE ON FIRE. Sure enough he looks down and the battery pack has shorted out apparently and set his ski pants on fire.
I’ve never wanted heated socks since I discovered winter riding shoes. I had those red Shimano DH boots which were sold as winter shoes in Britain. No mesh, no vents and high neoprene cuff with a Velcro closure. It’s all I need for winter.
