HeatmaxUK Tosti Toes.
These little gems, together with hand warmers and survival heat pads, were donated to all competitors of Yak Attack 2008 by Heatmax UK.
Light enough not to be noticed as an addition to even the sparcest of kit bags, these air activated foot warmers proved to be invaluable during the race
With 10cm of fresh snow on the trail during the coldest part of the event (crossing the 5400m Thorong La pass) practically everybody relied on the Tosti toes to ward off frostbite during the 2-4hour ascent.
Activated by merely opening the cellaphane packet,these tiny pads, that are adhered to the outside of the sock underneath the toes, provide enough heat to keep your feet warm for upto 10 hours.
I wore only light trailrunning shoes coupled with seal skin waterproof socks to cross the snow covered pass and thanks to the Tosti toes never once suffered from cold feet, infact I had to remove them once below 3000m to stop my feet from overheating.
Highly recommended for times when extreme cold will be encountered or as an emergency contingency during adverse weather conditions.
