Hand Warmers - recommendations...

[ExSCA]

Lots of suggestions to use handwarmers in the glove thread : http://www.shootclayforum.com/topic/4014-gloves-yesno-and-if-yes-what-make/

What recommendations for you have for types/brands of handwarmers?

Could be a useful addition to my kit list.... last ones I used were a small disposable sachet that heated up when you unwrapped - but they must be better than that now!

That's what I use, £1 a packet in asda - cheap and cheerful.

@Lesley - are they the same as these - those are the ones I remember from years ago.

Yep, that's them, but check Asda, I think they had an offer of 2 for 1.

Look on eBay for the lighter fuel type (same as Zippo but 1/4 of the price) around £5.00 each and they stay warm for around 20 hours each fill ;-)))

Use two then

The charcoal type are good but they are a swine to light and even cheaper than the fuel type (light both ends for best result)

My vote goes to the Peacock warmers as found on Fleabay. A doddle to use and last up to 36 hrs on one fill of lighter fluid.

Here you go:

I've got a Zippo hand wamer I bought last year for about £10 on-line, can be a bit fiddly to light but otherwise it's been very good, as Bigroo said the Zippo type ones on ebay are very cheap, as for petrol I found the cheapest place to buy it was £1 shops.

My hand warmers come free with most jackets .... called pockets I think

 

[adame]

they also do reusable one that once used can be boiled to reactivate, just search in bingle (I used bingle, but other search engines are available, like bing) or i think the wife got some from aldi once, but i dont know how good they are.
