Battery life depends heavily on the setting you choose. On the lowest setting, you can expect 16.5 to 21 hours of heat, while the highest setting will last between 2.5 and 4.5 hours. Most users find a balance on the middle settings for a full day on the mountain.

No, the kit includes a pair of 'Heat Ready' insoles, but they are optional. You can easily install the heating elements into your current footwear setup, provided you have the space to accommodate the thin heating element.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. You simply adhere the heating elements to your insoles and route the wires according to the included instructions, which typically takes just a few minutes.
