This item is currently sold out or unavailable online.

For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

First used by fishermen in the North Atlantic, these battery-heated socks will keep your toes toasty on the trail or in the stands.

  • To turn heat on, insert battery and snap pouch closed; to turn off, un-snap the pouch (remove batteries when not in use)
  • Designed to keep your feet warm but not hot, you'll get the maximum benefit by turning socks on and off often
  • Wool naturally wicks moisture for dry comfort; Hollofil® polyester provides added warmth
  • Acrylic and nylon for durability and easy on/off
  • Socks are extremely safe: Low amperage eliminates all possibility of shock or burn, even when wet
  • Socks use two D batteries (sold separately); Fully charged batteries will last 5-6 hours and rechargeable batteries will last 2-3 hours
  • Hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. Do not wring, hang dry or towel dry only
  • *Offer not valid for sale-price items ending in $._3 or $._9

    Sizing is as follows:
  • XS fits men's shoe sizes 5 - 6.5 and women's shoe sizes 6 - 8

        Comments about Nordic Gear Lectra Socks:

        These socks were given to me as a gift.. I would regift these, but its not much of a gift. No noticeable heat, huge batteries make walking or sleeping uncomfortable/unreasonable. These might be useful if you cut the wires and battery holder off and use them as regular tall socks.

        • Bunches Up
        • Uncomfortable

        Comments about Nordic Gear Lectra Socks:

        Absolutely worthless.... no detectable heat. ...weight of "D" cells dragged sox down to ankles as constant reminder that I had wasted [$] Finally put in new batteries, (further expense) & strapped a fairly sensitive thermistor to the toe. After 30 min. I recorded a raise of 0.04 degree F.. Potential error of the thermistor was + or - 0.5° [...].

        • Fit:
        • Feels too small

            I bought these to keep my feet warm during very cold nights. They did not do anything at all except feel bulky.

            It is a waste of money!

            Cons

            • Bunches Up
            • Does not heat much

              Comments about Nordic Gear Lectra Socks:

              I took these puppies on snow hike, and I was disappointed. They didn't provide any noticeable heat, and the weight of the D batteries caused them to fall down to my ankles. I'd recommend sticking with regular socks (two pairs if you need to).
