Getting ready for snow.

Post by jjmarks2001us »

I remember last year I was on WBL from 9am to 4pm in -30 wind chill. Tighe saw me out there a bit under dressed and gave me warmers for my boots and gloves. I will be ready for this year with these two products.

I dont know if I am going to sport the money for the gloves. But the socks are a must have.

I just finished reading up on the gloves and the link to the gloves above is wrong. Those only work by plugging in to a motorized vehical.

I had bought those socks a couple of years ago, for bow hunting. they never performed to my expectations. I ended up just cutting off the battery packs from the socks and using them like normal wool socks. I found the heat pacs works great. toasty warm!! the feet pads are very thin and go underneath the toes, where you need the warmth. there cheap and work great! good luck.
