 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Anyone out there tried both of these heated boot technologies? If so, which do you rate best?
I've read a few of the other posts on heated boots and hotronic seem to be highly regarded. What about therm-ic? I notice that a number of the atomic boots are prepared for therm-ic, and some even include the full deal including battery packs.
Any advice would be welcome as I'm after a pair in time for the coming season.
Cheers

apres_alpes, I can't comment. I don't get cold feet. But Her Ladyship's sister has been well impressed with the Therm-ics. She rarely needs them set on anything other than the lowest setting. Another chum likes his hotronics.

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

apres_alpes, We do thermic, occasional battery problems but we send a fair few up Everest each year with them and we haven't lost a toe as yet. There are a few models and need, as always, to be fitted on a Custom Orthotic, not the 'Thermic Custom.' this is not an Orthotic, but called custom because to can trim the footbed size to fit.

apres_alpes, i have seen very few problems with thermic, as SMALLZOOKEEPER says you get the odd battery problem but anything strapped to the outside of the boot is likely to take a few knocks

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I love my thermics. I used to suffer really badly with cold feet but last season used them and there was no more pain.

The boss had a pair of Hotronics but last year had some footbeds fitted and has not needed the heaters as the footbeds have spread the load thoughout her foot and helped blood flow.

Thanks for all the feedback.
I think I'll start with therm-ic then for the current season. See how they go.
Thanks again.
