Cold feet

[imobu]

Has anybody got battery powered boot insoles,or glove liners. I could do with both for on the bike and to use when on site at work. I have seen them for skiing and fishermen but wondered if they cope with the wind chill on a bike.

Check out a Tchibo shop if you have one near you (German coffee shop) that also sells small quantities of useful items.

Was in one at the weekend in Oxford. They a device that straps to your boots for warming your feet - no idea how it works or the cost, was too busy.

They also have thin Thermal Ski fleeces for £8.00 or less, work well for the money. Also have some good ski trousers & jackets at competitive prices as well as face masks that fit beneath you helmet.

Got their inner liner jacket. Really great under my Rallye II jacket. The liner is warmer and cheaper than buying a Tourguard winter jacket....

Before you contact them, I'd look in the ukgser discount thread -

they give GSers a discount

Theres a DIY guide on the Trophy Yahoo groups web site for making your own heated kit

Santa brought me a pair of the tchibo ski boot insoles. They are pretty well made, there is only a 50mm disk of heater pad under the ball of the foot/ toes. 4 heat settings. The pad takes the edge of cold toes, I think a full foot bed heater would be better.
Comes with sealed in rechargables and mains charger. I'm going to try a few layers of tinfoil under the insole to try and transfere / retain heat .

I have a set of those "mudflap" jobbies that hang off the back of the engine - keeps my feet nice and warm and keeps my boots clean too.

I've just fitted a pair of those (Xmas pressie from SWMBO). The idea was to keep the mud off my boots but if they also keep my toes warm then that's a bonus
