Hi do they make heated socks or boot warmers for school aged kids? I can't find much online.
What age? Kids grow out of their boots so fast that there probably isn't much of a market.Hi do they make heated socks or boot warmers for school aged kids? I can't find much online.
11 and 8 - we buy gear as they are quite advanced as there is a trade-in program where you get 50% back towards new gear. It has worked well for us and the gear is much better. The seasonal rentals were not good quality enough for their skiing ability (ie boot buckles that kept breaking or not staying fastened!). They are in a program all season.What age?

Keeping the core warm is key for everyone, but especially for kids. My daughter didn't like vests but I made her wear one for skiing anyway.
I didn't even bother to buy boots until I found that my local ski shop would take boots in good condition back for store credit. We weren't skiing that many days so a season rental made more sense.
So kids boots usually have enough room in the toes to use the toe warmers that stick on. Same as the chemical hand warmers but thinner and with adhesive. I actually will stick them to my core (outside of my base layer) if I'm going to be sitting or standing outside in the cold or on really cold ski days. They work great.11 and 8 - we buy gear as they are quite advanced as there is a trade-in program where you get 50% back towards new gear. It has worked well for us and the gear is much better.

The kids have to get up at 5:30am to drive up to mountain and will load up at 7:15am - keeping them as comfortable as possible is must! They love hand warmers but we don't put things in their boots - wondering if there is a way to make their toes cosy too - other than Merino socks. My kids have texture issues too to add.
Guessing you are right...not much of a market.
