I'm Bill Legman staff writer for a high valley outdoor magazine over the years I've tried to keep my feet warm with different types of socks different types of boots electric socks toe warmers. And foot warmers I've had little. Any success in the february2014 issue of a high valley outdoor x pro staff writer danny fatty reviewed the thermos cell heated insoles after reading Denny's review. Ihad to find out more about. This product thermacell makes two styles the heated insoles. And the pro flex heated insoles there are. Some features common to. Both styles there's three temperature settings no heat which is a sleep mode medium for a hundred degrees. And high for 111 degrees there is a built-in heat sensor to maintain consistent temperature. Both have rechargeable lithium-ion polymer batteries the batteries take 4 hours are less fully charged. And can last up to five hours. When fully charged the lithium-ion polymer batteries are rechargeable over 500 times the insoles are made from polyurethane foam. And can be trimmed to fit a range of sizes. And widths both have a water resistant fabric liner on the bottom. Both have a wireless remote control with a replaceable battery. And a lanyard this remote is uniquely coded specifically to match the insoles. And works up to 7 feet away. Each style comes with a polymer drawstring travel bag. Both styles come with a one-year warranty the heated insoles feature batteries. That are embedded inside the souls. They come with an AC outlet charger.

And there is an optional Clark charger. You simply turn on the heated insoles. And insert them into your shoes. Or boots the pro flex heated insoles feature removable battery. That fits flush with the insoles. This is a nice feature since. You don't need to remove the insoles to charge the batteries. And the insoles are made from multi-layer poly urethane foam. These include a charging cable. That plugs into a USB. Or an AC outlet and the charger also acts as a holder for carrying the batteries. When not in use you can get an optional battery pack. That lets you continue using the insoles. One set of batteries is recharging obviously. Ihave to find out if these will keep my feet from getting cold I've been up in. This tree stand now for a couple hours since early. This morning temperatures up to probably a balmy 10 to 12 degrees.

And the winds finally started to die off well I'm out here. Iwanted to give these thermacell heated insoles to try to see. If they actually work so. What I did was one in my left boot. And right now my left foots nice and comfortable my right foot is cold. Both the heated insoles. And a pro flex heated insoles come in a range of sizes from small to extra extra-large based on men's. And women's sizes they come with a well-written owners manual. That includes tips on trimming to size. And instructions on how to test. If they're working the MSRP for the heated insoles is 130 499. And 180 499 for the pro flex heated insoles store. And internet pricing can vary substantially for more information check out the thermacell website at heat dot thermacell calm.

Going on my name is John in. This video I'm doing another product review today we're looking at the heavy-duty pro flex heated insole with bluetooth by thermal cell. These insoles are battery powered. And controlled via bluetooth from your Android. Or Apple device they're supposed to keep your feet warm for up to eight. And a half hours and recharge in less. Than two let me break. This video down for you real quick the first thing we're going to do is unbox. It takes a closer look at. It then I'm going to show. How to download the free app. How to use it I'm going to test out the battery life we're going to test out max temperature. And then I'm going to tell. How my own field testing went. And then after that we're going to wrap. It up with pros cons. Where to get how much. And that's it so here. We go here we go the thermo cell heated insoles. These are wireless rechargeable. These are the pro-flex heavy-duty with bluetooth.

If you're looking at them on the shelves you're looking at sizes. You can find it up here. And also find it at the bottom sizing chart in the back we're going to talk about. That a little bit later let's open. It up you've got the two insole got the battery charger with the two batteries in. It charge cord part. That plugs into the wall the instructions got. One disclaimer telling you. These work difference in the chemical heaters. That you're used to. This is like a customer service card. And then a bag to throw. Everything together. When you're done using them really nice. They actually provide a bag. You slip these in here like. This throw the charger in with. It you're all set to go the insoles themselves pretty straightforward the soft there's a little bit of a tab in the back. You can see that right there so. When it's down in your boot. You can pull it out flips.

It over there is a little bit of a line we'll talk about. This in a little bit but. You can trim it to a certain point to fit your boots a little bit better. And then you look really close there's a number. That identifies one of your insoles you're going to want to write. That down to remember. That helps it comes time to sync with your bluetooth, but we'll talk about. That ok let's look at the charger real quick battery obviously goes in. Either side micro USB plugs in over here USB plugs in so. You can plug it into the wall otherwise. You want to put it in your car possibly a computer. Iguess since it's USB. You can do that way. Now let's talk about the batteries real quick. You pull them out of the charger. It has to be slid out. You pull all the way out. You could crack off. This little red piece. And that's what charges. It up so make sure you're sliding in. That goes with the insoles as well, so I'm going to do is slide.

When you're powered up. What you're going to see is right in here it's going to blink red. And green for 10 to 15 seconds. And that's just letting you know. You have power to the insula. Now the battery itself is really soft so you're not really going to feel. It too much when you're walking around hopefully as far sighs. And goals you can flip. You can find it at the bottom here on the heel. This is a large from size seven. And a half to nine to give. You an idea that looks like. This is an insole from a running shoe that's a ten which is just slightly bigger so. Ithink the sizing actually is pretty decent on these. If they're a little bit too big like. Ishowed you before.

You can flip them over. You can trim it gives. You the line you don't want to go past. That line that must be. Some coils and stuff are in there. You don't want to damage those but. You can trim them a little bit to fit your shoe. Or your boot whatever. You put them in I'm going to put up a sizing chart on the screen right. You guys want to take a look at. It pauses it for a second pretty straightforward guys. You took a closer look at the product let. How to get that free app as well. How to use the thing let's go to the App Store search thermos el turno feel heated product app comes up download. Once that's done you're going to see. It on your desktop there but before. That let's go to settings Bluetooth the two numbers. That are on the top there those are the ones.

That correspond with the numbers. That are inside the battery compartment on the insole. It shows that they're not connected let's not connect them. Now the app will actually connect them so let's back out of their go to the app. And then you can register I'm going to skip. This right, and then we're going to add nearby products. Ialready named and previously. Some John's insoles you'll get the opportunity to name yours too right. Now it's picking up the left. And the right I'm going to hit add. You first set up your device it's going to ask. You for a four-digit code to unlock the heated device. Ialready set mine up, so I'm going to put the number in hit submit ok then here. We are showing that my insoles are inactive. Iclick on John's insoles.

It takes you to your. You know the main screen. That you're going to use. What is showing on the left. And the right is how much battery is left in the left in Seoul in the right in Seoul right. Now it's on no heat, so they're not on. Ican switch it to low. Now your insoles are on medium. Or high the other thing that's kind of cool is. You can link them you can see link on top there. Idon't link them you control them independently maybe your right foots cold your left foots cold but. You link them they're always. Both on the same temperature setting now. You back out of this app it'll stay running in the background just. You back out of the app doesn't mean they're going to shut off. They do stay on and then. You can go you know browse the internet. And text your buddies. Whatever you want to do so. It does stay on in the background. And that's pretty much. All right now moving on to. Some testing the first thing we're going to look at is.

These lithium ion batteries the claim is. They charge less than two hours. And you're supposed to be able to charge them as. Many as 500 times you put the batteries in the charger you're going to see orange lights come on. That means the battery is not fully charged. Each battery has a separate light for this test. Icompletely drained. Both batteries before putting them in after. One hour and 51 minutes the first battery became completely charged three minutes later at. One hour and 54 minutes the second battery became completely charged. Both green lights came on in less. Then two hours so that checked out okay. Now we're going to move on guys. These batteries are supposed to last eight.

And a half hours on low heat. When the insoles are powered up we're going to test. That out right now the battery is completely charged. Iturn the left insole on low in the right insole on high put together a time-lapse hour-by-hour until the batteries were completely dead for this test the insoles were not in a boot. They were sitting out in a pretty ideal condition about 67 degrees the battery on low made. It seven and a half hours with temperatures ranging from eighty to ninety-nine degrees seven. And a half is just shy of the eight. And a half hour battery life as advertised the battery on high only made. And a half hours with temperatures ranging from 105 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're wondering how those temperatures compared to the advertised temperatures on low setting the insoles are supposed to reach a hundred degrees.

Isaw attempts up to 99 degrees which is right on as far as the high setting temps are supposed to reach 115 degrees. Imeasured temperatures as high as 113 degrees which is also pretty close the next thing. Iwanted to do was a temperature test looking at the hot. And cold spots on these insoles using the infrared surface to monitor. And since a lot of you guys are familiar with chemical hand warmers I'm going to throw. One of those into the mix as well after 20 minutes the chemical heater was only in the 90s. Though the max advertised temperature for this particular product was 156 degrees. Iknow from experience. These things will get way hotter but 20 minutes obviously was enough to crank. It up on the flip side the insole did reach max temperature in only 20 minutes.

You can see from the video the hottest part of the insole was just past the ball of your foot up by the to--let's right in the middle temperatures during this test reached 112 degrees Fahrenheit the rest of the insole didn't really heat up much at. All especially around the heel by the battery. It stayed about room temperature. This test showed me two things the first thing is. That the insoles warm up closer to the toes. Where people's feet typically get colder the second is. These chemical heaters get way hotter. These insoles do it seems. That the insults get to a maximum temperature a lot faster okay guys. Iwant to talk about real-world field testing.

Idid with these products the first time. Iused them a huge snowstorm came ripping through followed by temperatures. That were well below zero degrees outside. Ihad to get in a tree stand for some late season bull hunting I had a long walk to my stand so. Ifigured these heated insoles perfect light boots light socks. Ican walk to my stand no problem not lugging you know big boots with. And I'll flip them on. Iget to the stand no worries. Ishould have done a better job of reading the directions. And trying to figure. These things out first. It was a disaster within an hour my feet were absolutely freezing to the point. Iwas on the border probably unsafe got out of my stand head back to the cabin so the first outing with.

These things not so good but before returning them. Even throwing them in the garbage. Idecided to actually open up the instructions read. It go online see what some other people had to say about. And try to figure these things out a little bit. More ok guys two problems here the first. One was uninsulated boots. Ithought I could just get to my stand flip my phone on these things would heat up. And I'd be fine not the case. You got to have some kind of insulated boot to keep the heat in. That was definitely my bad but the second thing was. Ireally ran out of room. It was a tight fit I took the original insoles out of my boots put the thermo cell insoles in.

Iput my boots on there wasn't really much room for air to circulate around my foot. Anything like it was a pretty snug fit. You need to have a little bit of extra air around your foot so. You know that air can warm up. And warm your foot up the light sock was actually okay. Ijust needed to have a little bit. More air a little bit. More space or on my foot to heat up to keep my foot comfortable. And then again have an insulated boot to not let the heat out so strike. That was my fault so after doing my due diligence. And trying to figure out actually. These things worked. Iuse them for a second time besides late-season bull hunting you can always count on cold weather in. Another place and that's a playoff game at Lambeau Field kick-off temperatures were about 10 degrees. Ispent four hours tailgating as well as three. And a half hours in the game so. Iwas outside for probably seven to eight hours.

This time around I put the insoles in a little colder weather boot 1200 grams let's insulate. And for whatever reason my later season boots were a little bit bigger. One size bigger so I had plenty of space. And air around my stock. And around my foot I will tell. That over the course of. That game I'm standing on cold concrete the whole game. Idid not have any issues whatsoever with my feet getting cold so. These things on medium. All day with no issues whatsoever the interesting thing about. It is with chemical heaters. You guys can feel how hot they're actually getting hopefully. You know too hot if they're on your skin. They may even burn. You don't even realize. These are on but you start thinking about. It then you're like well my feet aren't cold they're just comfortable so the best way to describe.

It is just kind of warm glow. Iguess so the Packer game with a way bigger success. Than my late season bow hunting outing I had the right pair of boots on the right pair of socks on the right amount of space are on my foot to let. That air circulates and my feet think. It could whatsoever so that's. It for the fields we can move on to prose. And cons pros it comes with a bag might not seem like a big deal but I've got so much hunting craft. That at least I can put. This stuff in and not lose a bunch of cords. It messed up with all my other junk number two. Ifound the app to be user-friendly not only to download the figure out. How to use but also to use in the field just make sure. You guys keep your cell phones charged up number three the battery's comfortable. One thing I thought. Iwas going to have a big problem with especially as the football game standing seven to eight hours. Imean your heel is right on top of. That battery but it's padded enough.

You don't even know. You have it in there for the batteries charged up quick less. Than two hours the great thing about. That is morning hunts. You come in for launch. You go back to your truck. Whatever two hours you get them. Both charged back up put them back in your boots. You can go for an evening sit. And I'm going to list the battery life as a pro. It didn't make it to the 8. And a half hours as advertised. You know seven 1/2 hours is a pretty good run. If you're going to hunt. You don't have an opportunity to go back to the cabin the house your truck to charge. These batteries up you can buy a second pair get them charged up.

That will take you through the rest of your hunting day I'm going to leave a link below the video in the description so. You guys can check out the extra batteries as well number six. They actually work provided. Everything right you don't make a bonehead mistake like. Iwas bow hunting but um. They do keep your feet warm. And number seven they don't get so hot. That your feet get sweaty. You have to worry about. You know chemical burns. If they're right against your skin. Now we're going to move on to cons the only drawback. Ifound with this product is really just. You know having the appropriate size of boots so like. Italked about my early season boots. You know they fit really well. Iwanted to fit as good as close to a running shoe as. Igot to walk long distances.

Igot to climb trees. Idon't want to you know have a lot of extra space. And be lugging these big boots around but in. That situation you have no room. These insoles are a little bit bigger. Then the original in souls of your boots so. You don't have the space to have the appropriate amount of air circulating around your foot to keep your feet warm. Imade the switch to the bigger boots luckily. Ihad boots that were big enough. And allowed for a little bit. More air circulation around my foot. These things work really well so. Iguess my advice to. You would be either take your boot to the store put the insole in. And make sure you have enough room for your foot to breathe. Or at a minimum if you're getting these things shipped to. You at least try them on before. You go out in the field to make sure. You know it's going to warm up the way it's supposed to. All as long as you guys don't do.

What I did I think would be fine. Now we're going to move on to cost. Where to get it as the February 2017 the making of. This video it on Amazon for right around $200 I'm going to leave an affiliate link to Amazon in the description below. This video you guys can click on. That go sees what the current price is there's always tons of reviews on Amazon. You can go see what other people are saying about. And I'm also going to leave a link to those extra batteries. More think before this video limitations. These insoles are supposed to be water-resistant. Idecided not to test. Ibuy my boots to be water resistant so. Igot water coming in my boots. Igot bigger problems. And my insoles come. And wet that's you liked the video give it a thumbs up leave a comment below. That will be awesome. Itry to give you guys as much unbiased information as.
