Got a problem with cold feet? Then Gerbing heated socks could be the solution.
Everyone gets cold feet, but some people (myself included) feel the chill more than others, and it is awful. I’m in generally good health, but I suffer terribly from chilblains when the temperature drops. I dread to think how people with arthritis (or similar temperature-sensitive conditions) cope when the cold snap arrives. But, there is good news: Gerbing heated socks can solve your problems, as they have done mine.
If you spend a lot of time outside, whether active or stationary, the cold inevitably works its way to your extremities, slowly but surely. With Gerbing heated socks plugged in and turned up, it is an entirely different experience. It is like slipping your feet into heated slippers, which just happen to fit perfectly inside your everyday shoes or boots. Gerbing heated socks are really that brilliant.
I know what the next question is – how do you power them? Well, there are a couple of options. If you just need to take the bite out of your outdoor activities (maybe you’re gardening or similar), the Gerbing 7v heated socks come complete with a pair of portable batteries which conveniently sit inside a purpose-built pocket on the outside of each sock (on the leg). This makes keeping your feet warm a piece of cake. No wiring, other than plugging the self-contained batteries in and turning up the heat. Super!
But what if you’re doing something a little more extreme – say, motorcycle riding, where there is a constant and icy 50mph wind chill angling at your feet? For even more warmth, the 12v Gerbing heated socks are a great option. Wired directly into the bike, these Gerbing heated socks deliver constant, focused heat for the duration of your ride. If you’d rather not be hooked into your bike (although it really is simple) you can also use these Gerbing heated socks with portable batteries (see the Gerbing 12v battery kit – available separately). The 12v Gerbing heated socks are constructed specifically as a left/right pair, with four-way stretch fabric to allow a super-snug and comfortable fit.
Another point of wonder is whether the heating elements make the Gerbing heated socks uncomfortable. The truth is this: no. The patented Gerbing Microwires which run throughout the Gerbing heated socks are so tiny that you’ll have a tough job feeling them. I would, however, advise you to wear a pair of light socks beneath the Gerbing heated socks, as they can get quite warm, especially when the ambient temperature is anything more that bitter cold! If you plan to use the 12v Gerbing heated socks on a motorcycle and hooked up to the bike’s battery, I’d especially recommend getting an additional temperature controller so that you can turn the heat up or down as you feel required.
So, in short, if you have issues with cold feet – don’t struggle on. Cold feet can be agonising. With a lifetime warranty and excellent comfort, winter could be a much happier time for you with the Gerbing heated socks.
