Product Description

Designed for skiers, hunters, fishermen, golfers, or anyone who works or plays in the cold for long hours, the Heatmax HotHands-2 Hand Warmers are air-activated and will provide up to 10 hours of soothing warmth inside gloves, pockets or wherever you feel a chill. All Heatmax warmers are made of natural materials, including iron powder, water, salt, activated charcoal, and wood fiber. When exposed to air, these materials react together to produce heat through an extremely fast oxidation (or rusting) process. Users should allow 10 to 20 minutes for the warmers to reach their optimal temperatures.

Excellent
Purchased these for my son who suffers from Raynaud's syndrome, a hyper-sensitivity to cold. Unitll we had these he was warming his hands on the tea kettle. These he can take with him everywhere and get releif. Heard about them from a golfer, but works great for our application

Perfect for warmth
Went to playoff Packers-Eagles game in Philly 2 years ago. It was a brutally cold day. Though, I was wearing long underwear, wool hat, gloves, parka, etc...I was woefully cold. It was awful.

My buddy brought 5 of these heat max warmers. He shared 2 of them with me...and they literally saved my hands. They were perfect...you just slide it into your glove or underneath your sock...and it will keep you warm in a way that even goretex gloves can't.

Since then, I have kept a few as "reserves" in my down jacket. Sometimes use them at a cold baseball game, or while skiing.

Can't go into winter without them.

"Don't put your cold hands on me!" (recommended)
If your mate has ever complained about your cold hands, you need HOT HANDS. My hands get cold -- very cold -- even in mild weather. Besides keeping a pair of gloves in coat pockets and cars, there has been little relief. When the whether gets bad, I would stay in the house and submerge my hands in warm water. Then I received a set of hand warmers as a thank-you gift from a supplier. I never heard of such a thing! Where has this been all my life?

It takes 15-30 minutes of exposure to air (outside the sealed package) to reach maximum temperature. It is best to keep the 2" x 3" odorless pads in a glove or pocket where the heat is less prone to dissipate. Without HOT HANDS, even fur lined gloves would not warm my cold hands since the fur only insulates the existing temperature (like a thermos). By radiating heat within the glove and making a fist to reach fingertips, it doesn't take long for hands to feel warmer.

Pad temperature is is mostly just above normal body temperature (perhaps 100 degrees f). The pad can get extremely warm (perhaps 125+ degrees) after remaining in a pocket for a length of time. Periodically pulling open a glove at the wrist to let some fresh air in and squeezing a fist several times also reactivates more heat. After about 10-12 hours the heat is all gone and the pads can be discarded. If you need to rely on manual dexterity for typing or turning pages, you may be able to get by with just one pad at a time and no glove -- switching hands when necessary. Since they are individually wrapped, there is no waste.

I am truly thankful for discovering such a wonderful product. So as not to run out, I purchased a second box after trying just one pad. Now, in addition to gloves, I have HOT HANDS everywhere, even in my night stand for cold evenings.
