Anyone ever try taping a couple of hand warmers inside the boot glove?
They are $39.99USD on Amazon.com so it looks like Amazon Canada is ripping off Canadian customers. While I am not a big fan of Walmart, I will shop Walmart.ca before Amazon.ca, if I can.
I tried them. What did I do wrong? I think they acted like a sea anchor. View attachment 160832
I was going to do a follow-up. I had a similar, though not quite as bad, issue when I finally got into loose snow. I guess I'll have to try the velcro on the boots. Initially it was just groomers without a lot of "in the snow", just on it.I tried them. What did I do wrong? I think they acted like a sea anchor. View attachment 160832
There were a couple of stick on strips in mine.I don’t get the Velcro patch on the inside front. Was there supposed to be a stick-on mate? Nothing like that came with mine.

Why not chat with @SkiSkootys before you get rid of them? Maybe your package was missing the extra Velcro or something.Seems like there should have been in mine too. Before I throw mine in the trash, If anyone wants them they can have them for postage cost.
I've been using mine fairly frequently this season as it's been pretty chilly, more so than usual. They are holding up well; the only damage was my fault when I click in and caught the back in my binding. That tore some neoprene but not to where the glove was non-functional. With my boot heaters and the SkiSkooty, I have been able to ski comfortably in 0° or a bit less several times this season. Even in warmer temps of 10°-20° they work well when you're IN snow like we've been fortunate to enjoy this year. That extra layer between shell and snow really helps.Any updates from users?
After using them for about a year any more thoughts about this issue? Have you or anyone else used the hand warmers in the pouches? If so any noticeable difference? My 15+ year old Boot Gloves are more duct tape than neoprene, I ski in the quite cold Head Raptor WCR plug boots and unfortunately electric boot warmers are not in the budget. Thank goodness that spring skiing is here although today started at a balmy 3 degrees.I was going to do a follow-up.

I didn't bother with the velcro. I just check for snow and knock it out. Haven't used the Chem pack pockets.After using them for about a year any more thoughts about this issue?

Back to the tried and true Boot Gloves.
Please post a review after you get some time in them. At $88 it’s like 3x more than the other neoprene boot covers and there aren’t too many reviews out there in the interwebby.Well, the Boot Gloves finally started looking and acting their (ancient) age.
Was set to buy another pair, but went ahead and burned some REI dividend on a pair of the new-to-me Snux covers.
A bit more covereage, a bit less clunky looking, but the biggest thing for me is that the "reach" to get them on/off doesn't tweak my lousy knees like the BG can.
Didn't see that one coming.
