Drysuit cold feet

[Dean810]

With water temperature in the low 40's F, I can keep my entire body reasonably warm in a DUI trilam except for my feet. The feet of the suit is neoprene and I am wearing Roc Boots and long DUI Thinsulate socks. My feet get so cold that I feel I am taking my toe nail off when I remove the boots!

Is there something I can wear on my feet that is warmer, without adding too much more bulk? Currently the suit I am using is a rental, off the shelf medium, but it fits like a glove, including the neoprene feet. When I buy a suit, I plan on going with the Turbo soles rather than the Roc Boots.

Get a pair of those electric socks that incorporate a "D" cell battery.

You could try something like Fourth Element's socks:

I know its only a "D" cell, but... Just go out and buy a couple of thick wool socks, worked every time. Luckly I don't need them now.

I know someone who wears an electric suit, didn't know there was something just for the feet. I love wool, but too bulky, I would have a hard time getting them in the foot. Has anyone used those Forth Element socks? Are they better than Thinsulate? I suppose they could be worn under the Thinsulate, they seem trim enough.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I get those little packs that you shake-up and they produce heat for about 2 hours. They come with adhesive to stick to the bottom of your sock. They work like a charm!!!!! Available at most gas stations here in the northland.

P.S. they also work great in the palm of your hand if your wearing dry gloves.

Worth a try! As long as they don't get TOO hot!
