I received battery powered heated socks as a Christmas present from my sister. I have to admit that I have never looked forward to wearing a pair of socks before.

I wore them today. During the morning ride my feet were toasty warm. Conditions were nippy but not really terribly cold so more extensive riding will need to be done.

On the way home I rode though a flooded out section of trail. My legs up to my knees went under water. The water was cold and unforunately some water came in to my Lake MX 300 boots over the top and at the side where I hadn't done them up completely. I rode for another 25 minutes without any wierd sensations from the now wet socks. My feet were cooler but not as cold as I would have normally experienced.

I believe that my sister picked them up from Mark's Work Wearhouse in Canada.
