Heated socks

John is a real winter sports fan. As soon as winter makes its appearance, he heads to the mountains as soon as possible in search of the snow, a nice sun and white slopes. For him, skiing is much more than a sport; it is a lifestyle. The feeling of speed, the fresh mountain air in his face and the view over the snowy peaks give him a huge kick. Skiing is his passion, his way to leave everything behind for a while and purely enjoy himself.

Yet there is one obstacle John just can’t seem to get rid of: cold feet. The cold seems to take hold as soon as he heads into the mountains. Despite making every effort to look after his equipment to perfection, his feet always remain the weak point. He has tried countless pairs of socks, from woollen to thermal variants, but the cold always seems to get through. The first few hours on the slopes are wonderful, but as soon as the day gets longer, it starts to get annoying. His feet then get cold to the point where it starts to get really painful and he can’t get rid of this. The toes turn white and it seems as if blood flow has stopped completely. This is the point where John used to put the skis aside and start apres skiing a bit earlier than hoped.

He had already tried everything to get rid of the problem, thick socks, multiple pairs of socks on top of each other and well-insulated ski boots. Nothing really helped, it all turned out to be a temporary solution. After a long search, he did find a solution. 

Nowadays, John can enjoy the white slopes a lot longer. That’s because he wears BERTSCHAT® heated socks. After a long search on social media and the internet, someone who suffers from Raynaud’s syndrome pointed him to the website of BERTSCHAT®  where you can find all kinds of products to ensure your limbs stay warm.  From heated gloves to jumpers, shirts and jackets for the upper body and trousers socks and soles for the lower body. With the heated socks, John now no longer suffers from cold feet and can continue to enjoy his hobby. He now skis again from the moment the first lift goes up until the last lift goes down again. 

The big advantage of the socks is that they are heated with a USB rechargeable battery. At lunch time, the battery can be recharged and since John has an extra set of batteries, he can leave his socks on for the entire day and race down the slopes with wonderfully warm socks. He wishes he had discovered this years earlier but one thing is certain, John will never go on a winter sports holiday without his heated socks again.
