When you're out and about, it's often your feet that suffer most from the cold. How many days of skiing are spoilt because of aches, rubbing, blisters or frozen feet? At Therm-ic, thermoregulation – that is, optimising comfort and performance via body temperature management – is a skill that we've been honing for nearly 30 years. Pushing the boundaries is part of our DNA. That's why this season we decided to take on a huge challenge: creating the most comfortable and best-performing heated ski sock on the market.
This was how our two heated ski sock designs came about: ULTRA WARM COMFORT S.E.T© & ULTRA WARM PERFORMANCE S.E.T©. Two masterpieces, two innovative gems, which will mark a 'before' and an 'after' in the land of ski socks thanks to S.E.T© technology, which we are not afraid to present as a real game changer.
Discover here the technology and heated sock that will revolutionise your skiing, hiking & winter sports days.

WHY & HOW IS S.E.T© TECHNOLOGY A GAME CHANGER FOR HEATED SKI SOCKS?
Feet and skiers are a classic love-hate relationship! Cold, frozen feet, pressure points, contractures, blisters, rubbing, etc. Just some of the aches and pains that usually mark your skiing days. Heated socks are the most suitable option for solving them. Until now, however, heated socks could be unreliable, inefficient and inconsistent in terms of the heat delivered to feet. This observation led to the creation of our S.E.T© technology.
This totally revolutionary innovation, patented and developed by our Research & Development department, aims to warm your feet in an enveloping, even way. Why is it a game changer? Because heat is spread all over the entire foot, unlike other designs, where it is confined to certain very specific heating points.
How does this Therm-ic technology work? By replacing these very specific heating points with a thin line measuring just 2 mm, which is discreetly integrated into the sock. This imperceptible subtle band of heat wraps all around your feet, without leaving out a single mm2 of your skin.
More than a fine, elastic and imperceptible line, S.E.T© technology forms a barrier against the cold. A real game changer in the world of heated ski socks.

ULTRA WARM COMFORT S.E.T©: THE HOLY GRAIL OF HEATED SKI SOCKS IN TERMS OF COMFORT
Like skiers who are strong on both feet, our Therm-ic heated socks are based on two key foundations: comfort and performance. These are the two cardinal points that guide the development of each of our heated ski socks. So we've come up with two different designs, each of which offers a slightly more pronounced focus: comfort or performance.
ULTRA WARM COMFORT S.E.T© is a Therm-ic heated sock dedicated to skiing, hiking, winter sports or other outdoor activities, with real attention paid to comfort.
Which factors make ULTRA WARM COMFORT S.E.T© the most comfortable heated sock? :
- The totally revolutionary S.E.T© technology detailed earlier in this article, which offers an even heating system that envelops the whole foot.
- Breathability, because the key to keeping your feet warm lies in managing perspiration! To this end, we have used Moisture-Vent Technology, a sock construction in the form of macro-channels that guide perspiration towards the arch of the foot to better wick away moisture.
- The incomparable softness of the famous merino wool. Doubly renowned for its breathability and softness, merino wool offers welcome comfort like a caress on the foot. This natural fibre also has the superpower of absorbing 33% of its weight in moisture without appearing wet. ULTRA WARM COMFORT S.E.T© is made from 50% merino wool: an extremely high amount compared to the competition, which speaks volumes about the comfort on offer.
- High power and heating endurance, thanks to the S-Pack 1400B heated sock batteries, among the best-performing on the market and capable of giving you up to 9 hours of continuous heat. The socks are sold in our shop with or without batteries.

ULTRA WARM PERFORMANCE S.E.T©: THE CHAMPION ALL-ROUNDER IN HEATED SKI SOCKS
ULTRA WARM PERFORMANCE S.E.T© is a Therm-ic heated sock aimed at the most demanding ski, hiking or winter sports enthusiasts. Those for whom pleasure goes hand in hand with comfort but above all performance. For experts then, or for those who wish to become one.
Which factors make ULTRA WARM PERFORMANCE S.E.T© the best-performing heated ski sock? :
- The totally revolutionary S.E.T© technology detailed earlier in this article, which offers an even heating system that envelops the whole foot.
- A fine construction based on the new Smart Elastic Technology©, for perfect fit and adjustment to relay the foot's energy in its purest form, without loss.
- A hybrid composition of polyamide fibres, providing good foot hold and support during exercise, and merino wool, a natural material renowned for its breathability and softness. It is worth noting that merino wool has the superpower of absorbing 33% of its weight in moisture without appearing wet.
- High power and heating endurance, thanks to the S-Pack 1400B heated sock batteries, among the best-performing on the market and capable of giving you up to 9 hours of continuous heat. The socks are sold in our shop with or without batteries.

HOW DO OUR NEW HEATED SKI SOCKS WORK?
Therm-ic heated socks work in a very simple and intuitive way, thanks to small, very light and almost imperceptible batteries positioned at the back of the socks.
The power of the heat distributed is then adjusted according to three heating levels, from a dedicated app on your smartphone, as some of these batteries are Bluetooth-compatible.
These heated ski socks are compatible with all our batteries – S-Pack 700, S-Pack 700B (Bluetooth), S-Pack 1200 and S-Pack 1400B (Bluetooth). Whether these batteries are new or second-hand batteries.
