Zippo 6 hour hand warmers
I think i have evolved to final form, and have now mastered winter training . with these 8 dollar on amazon inventions i can ride 6 hours in 20f temps with my feet on fire . who ever invented these things needs the award of the century . no more worthless HOTHANDS nonsenses . just slip these babies under my booties and i cant even belive how warm they stay . they take a small bit of prep to set up but they are a decent option for keeping the cold off your feet .
|
Is there a link?
Are you talking about the USB rechargeable or the one's that burn fuel? How do you fit them in your boots or shoe covers? -Tim- |

So they stay outside your shoe but under a shoe cover?

Here is the 12 hour warmer for $13.45. https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Hand-Wa...ppo+handwarmer A six hour warmer for $10.80 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013HLGTVW...074Q96NQ3?th=1 They also make an electronic version, though I have never tried them. https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-6-Hour-...ppo+handwarmer |
I used them when I was a kid and my dad would take me ice fishing. Not sure about putting them in boots; if you cut off the air supply they will go out. They work best in pockets.

Yes, $8, if you can find a deal, and you use them over and over again. You fill them with lighter fluid. I have two, and love them.

the original was the Jon E warmer. from the '50's? maybe.
Came in a couple different sizes. The big hole was to light your cigarette. https://www.ebay.com/b/Jon-e-Handwar...039/bn_1860702 |
Somewhere I have a similar device made for Hunters that I got back in the mid 70's. I think it was a Jon-e. As I recall, it was kind of a pain to get lit to where it would keep going and had a petroleum smell. Ok to carry around in a pocket to keep your hands warm if you didn't mind the smell.

I remember these from years ago. Checked the current models referred to on Amazon. The recommendations aren't great, 12% lowest rating is well beyond my 3-5% limit, more like a crapshoot.

I think people must not know how to use them properly. I have never had problems with mine. Love them. My dad had one when I was a kid, and I used it back then too. The ones I have were bought in the past four years. The work fine. I use them doing astronomy in the winter, as well as out doing photography, in temps in the teens and below. (Fahrenheit)

I always lit them before going out on the ice or into the wind.

I also used these when I was young and had a paper route. I do not see how they could be used in a shoe or boot. I do remember the smell of lighter fluid when using them. I also remember them being real hot at first and gradually losing the heat.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll give one (at least ;)) a try. I use the chemical type for pretty much the same activity, more photography stuff. If it goes well, I'll get a second. Nice in one's pockets between shots. :)
Tip if you use the chemical packs - tape them onto the edges of the pack to the top of you shoes before you pull the booties on. The tape will hold in place while you slide the bootie on and you can get them right where you want them. |

I did the same, I bought one to try after seeing negative reviews. It worked well enough for me to buy another one. Hope you have the same experience. |
