In car boot warmers.

[Wallace]

Maybe my memory is getting old. Back in the old days I remember someone making an in car boot warmer that actually worked. It had a heating element and a fan. All the ones that I see now do nothing. They have little bity fans and no heat or they have heating tubes that have to have a 12v to 120v converter and no fan. Does anyone remember the ones that I remember? If so who makes them?

I think I posted elsewhere I have his and hers Dakine Boot Lockers - I put a $25 car seat warmer in the boot bag and now she has warm and toasty boots every time.

I have Thermic heaters plugged into a jumper box, which I have to confess I bought for just that purpose. The Thermic heaters were blowing out the fuse of my old Audi when plugged into the cigarette lighter (old car). I have normal (120v) Dry n Warm boot sticks which I could plug into the outlet in the trunk of my new car, but was afraid of blowing the electrical system because of my prior experience. Their packaging has not a hint of what the draw (watts? I'm hopeless at electrical stuff.) is. Nice to hear Dry Guy (appear to be the same as my Dry n Warm) is safe in Wallace's car. The Thermic heaters are 12v, 50 w. It works, which is why I haven't been tempting problems. The Thermic heaters just get warm, no fans. Frankly, they are a bit too warm for extended use. Which is why they probably blow car fuses.

I pull the liners to dry. For simple heating I find one hour on the dry setting works great.

I decided to forgo my heated bag sometime ago, now I simply put my boots in the passenger and set the car heat to the lower vents, it usually takes ~40m from home to ski boots are warm and easy to put on when I get there! I might go back to my bag at some point but for now I don't really see the need, but I also drive alone most of the time so this might not work if you carpool or have some other skier in the car
