How heated socks work
There is a pocket on the top of the product. It is needed for a carbon plate.

The temperature range is up to 45 degrees Celsius.
REFERENCE: But not for all models.
These heated socks operate either using a battery or built-in batteries. From the carbon, durable plate, 2 wires come off and are attached to the batteries.The assembly scheme itself is quite small in size and therefore does not bring any feelings of discomfort when putting it on or moving.
The batteries are attached to the leg itself using a belt. And in the second option: They can be folded into a small special pocket, the developers came up with this for convenience. Each sock has a control unit with a switch. The work takes place offline. If for some reason the sock gets wet, then nothing bad will happen, only the thermal conditions may decrease slightly, literally by a few degrees.
