Heated gloves and socks for teenager

A snowHead

One of my daughters gets very cold fingers and toes ATM. Anyone got any experience with heated gloves/socks to make her ski holiday more enjoyable? This could be the make-it-or-break-it ski holiday for her this year. She had a nasty fall last year and isn't particularly looking forward to the upcoming ski holiday so I want to make sure that she is as comfortable as possible.

@dobby, I think you will find that there are two levels of heated gloves/socks. The cheaper ones are designed for cold weather, but not skiing, and the more expensive ones are more expensive because the stay working during the abuse of skiing.

Blaze Wear glove liners have a good reputation on here. The liners have the advantage of working with any glove/mitten: https://www.blazewear.com/

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

A cheap solution are disposible handwarmers. Pretty popular in Canada

Hi @dobby have you tried those warm hands or feet packs?
The ones that you crumple up then put them in your gloves on the back of your hand or on top of your foot in the boots.

My misses swears by them, particularly good for about 4 hours in the cold cold parts of Canada such as Lake Louise,
where -30 seems like a warm day.

Not so useful when you find your self locked out of the lodge in the hot tub,
then you have so pad across the ice and snow in the almost altogether to wake up the concierge who has his apartment in the cellar, to get him to open up again.

Yes it did happen.

when its minus 30 its a good idea to wear a bobble hat in the outside "hot tub".

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

therm-ic ski boot heaters. wouldnt be without them. they do a kids version that you can slip into hire boots https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermic-Power-Heating-Batteries-Insoles/dp/B0054U6XM0?tag=amz07b-21

You'll need to Register first of course.

@dobby, My wife's experience is that the tea-bag style warmers are not particularly useful, although there are a few in the pack just in case.

The Blazewear liners are the best we've come across.

For feet she has the SIDAS ones, but these seem much more of a muchness.

Help!!
