Heated Insoles are for puss.......
I know. Some people use them on here though.
I would like something like this in a glove liner.My sister uses a heated boot and I skied with her on a cold day and she had to go in around 1 and try and recharge them. She never came back out for runs.

What I'd like to find are decent heated gloves. Having cold hands even with the hand warmers sucks...
Black Diamond's Guide Glove rated as one of the warmest...

+1. Hottronics were one of the best, if not the best gear purchases I've ever made.
Maybe you got a lemon? I've had mine for 6 years and about 150 days on the hill and haven't had a single issue. I've also moved them between 3 different boots in that time. You do ski many more days a season than I do though.
Oddly the warmest gloves I've ever owned are the $35 Grandoes I bought at a TJ Max. They were to be back ups to a $90 level glove, but became my primary glove.
I've got a clip that goes around my boot strap. It's made of heavy duty plastic. Only way the battery is going anywhere is if I were to wreck hard and break the plastic or rip the boot strap. Richelsons sold it to me.
As for wires and elements, I'm guessing that's just because you ski so much and they wear out. I guess I'm lucky to have used mine as much as I have without issue.
