Feet Warmers

[Julian55]

Anyone try these?
Rechargeable Heated Insoles For Shoes | Heated Insole or warmers.com?

I got a pair of insole warmers that I will try next dive, anyone?

My feet stay nice and toasty with my thick wool socks... but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered getting a heated vest.... (I don't have much natural insulation)

That being said, I'd be leery about how waterproof they are. Given that they're supposed to work in sweaty shoes, hopefully they'll keep the battery dry as moisture condenses inside your suit or incase of a leak -- No way to dump them if they're inside your suit.

But then again I'm just paranoid.

I don't think your paranoid - batteries inside drysuits seems sketchy to me also.

Will they handle the weight of you in your gear?

For my drysuit I have neoprene socks on the suit, and I wear a thick sock underneath it in the winter. For suits with laminate socks I have some whites mk3 socks that work wonders.

After seeing my Nimh battery pack cook off in my dive bag, the last thing I would want is a battery inside my drysuit. Also any heat source that can't be turned on and off from outisde the suit is another bad idea.

I have a laminate suit with the soft socks attached, I use neoprene wet suit boots over that. I'm warm enough in just a pair of normal socks.

Would have to agree that any heat source like that inside your dry suit is a bit risky.

good thing I didn't buy them then. I may try some of these Hotfoot Thermal Drysuit Undersuit Socks : Fourth Element or maybe some MK3 socks?
