    I bought the STG warmers made by Suzuka (owned by CH) and love them!

    pretty sure there is a thread on this topic every other week.

    answers are always the same: chicken hawk, woodcraft, or (eventually) T2 warmers.

    I've an old set of Tyr Sox which came with my Mille R, were they made by Lockhart Phillips or are they their own brand so to speak?

    Bandit; I tried chickenhawk (pole position) and 3 new pairs in a row had faulty thermostats and would cut out when they got luke warm. I'm sure it's a good product, just not the 3 I had.

    The new ones with the new lining might be good but I had some I bought brand new and only lasted 8 days until the cords wore through on the front warmer.. Funny thing is my dad bought some the same time I did and his front started doing the same thing about the same time as me, and we don't do that many trackdays together.. I was at Grattan, he was at barber and I called to tell him mine were wearing through and he noticed the same thing the same day.. SUCK!

    Woodcraft, Chickenhawk or Suzuka standard warmers. The less parts, the less chance of them breaking.

    Tyr Sox is a stand alone company, but LP did sell them for a bit. They still might sell them, don't know. Richard (company owner) is local to me, and he sells them direct for $175 (IIRC). Fixed temp, very basic, but very reliable. I recommend them for anyone that wants a reliable set of warmers and doesn't need the bling.

    Capits have proved to be very good and reliable and can be round rather cheap

    I have their dual temp warmers, and have been satisfied with them so far.

    No problems with my TyrSox for a few years now. Use the blankets for those cold Willow mornings for extra heat and never had a problem.

    From a guy who has been down this path, take my word for it. Buy Chicken Hawks and be done with it. They'll last and when you're done you can resell them and get most of your money back.

    I've been through 4 sets of "other" warmers...it's not worth it.

    not sure if easy to use velcro is considered "bling". The strings and not having an auto shutoff seem to be the biggest minus on the Tyr Sox.
