I’ve got those heated gloves, which I got from Amazon. They work quite well…I don’t dare use them in the rain, however the important thing is they keep my hands warm enough in sub zero (c) temperatures, which is more than I can say for any other gloves I’ve tried before. I think the batteries lasts on full power about 3-4 hours.

I have the socks and they are good but my problem are my toes. I have reynauds so my toes loose circulation quickly. By far the most effective thing for me was double layer foil over my toes inside the shoe. The socks are good but the heating element didn’t hit the toes very well.

buy windproof, thank me later. you don’t need heated anything unless you’re way below freezing

Should buy these from a real shop. Lenz makes the most popular ones. You’ll find them at most ski shops

I use the electric socks on really cold rides and they work pretty well. Only thing is that my toes can still get a bit cold so I wear a shoe cover to give me comfort on up to three hour rides outdoors. For hands, the electric gloves causes too much sweat for me so I simply use Bar Mitts and a thinner glove and find that I don’t need an insulated glove even in very cold temps (northern Great Plains weather for me). I simply wear a full finger MTB glove and even then my hands can sweat.

I live above the arctic circle, I have never heard of anyone needing heated gloves and socks
