Re: winter things, it is still quite warm here for the time of year, so I am lightly clothed in comparison to you I presume. Wolfgang is still wearing summer sandals, though he needs a bloody good scrub. :smiley:

Put mine on this morning we had a heavy overnight frost and within seconds they were pretty warm, 1 minute down the line and they were red hot so yeah they work a treat, not sure about the knob to turn them on, it seems pretty wobbly to me.

Interesting I suspect mine are not working then (they fold and move ok), do they power them selves down after a while or not?

That I don't know, I've not felt them after a trip out, just know they don't take long to heat up.  I will give it a try tomorrow and report back.
