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

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.

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.

I've used these on rides and I keep packs in my saddlebags all year long year to distribuate to other riders when we get caught, because we believed the weather person that day.
Where we live, we can purchased these at the checkout line at "WallyWorld" at 4 pairs of hand warmers in a pack for $1.24 or 6 pairs of feet warmers for the same price. If not at checkout go to the hunting section. I sometimes take a pair when walking, or give them to my peers at work, because you never know what the temp. will be in the office.
Just do the math, if you can find them at Walmart. Thank you

I live in the Pacific Northwest, and my husband is a Carpenter. He suffered a massive heart attack a year ago September, and we were worried that he wouldn't be able to continue his trade anymore - particularly because the winters here in Washington are absolutely frigid. For Christmas last year, I purchased a case of the HeatMax HotHands-2 warmers for him. It was the single best Christmas present I could've bought for him. They keep his hands warm (he even puts them in his socks to keep his feet warm!) for hours, and now everybody on his construction crew is buying them. Productivity is up on the job site, and even better, my husband doesn't come home from work all grouchy because he's so cold!

By the way - even our children use these hand warmers! Our daughters put them into their pockets and gloves, and when they're at school on the playground, or standing in line waiting to go in from recess, their hands are kept nice and toasty!

What an excellent product!!

I've used these before when I was camping and when I was with the Army. I bought these to give to the soldiers standing guard at night when the temperature is below 40. Their commanders won't let them use any kind of heater. They were really appreciated, and it was my pleasure to give them out.

These handwarmers were not what I expected. While they did not suit my needs, they may suit yours.

Need to know about this product:
1) the hard warmers are very small. They fit well into gloves, mittens, and under the tongue of loosely laced sneakers.

2) they take VERY long to warm up. I opened 5 pairs to share with friends on a very cold day. The warm-up time varied from 30 minutes to 40 minutes. Don't expect to get instant relief from the cold.

3) these items are only moderately warm. This is a positive and a negative. The positive is that you can keep them close to the skin for a long while without any irritation or burns. They aren't scalding hot. The negative is that they never really get that warm. On a breezy 25F day, I felt like this product was near useless.

4) they last a long time. They really do last over 8 hrs.

For standing in the cold, these are terrible. If you are out skiing, biking, or doing some aerobic activity, this may be just enough to keep your extremities warm during breaks. But for low activity events, these just aren't warm enough or fast enough on a cold day.

Not that warm, not that fast. Better for mild days or high activity than for standing in the cold.

I ride a motorcycle every day and in the morning, my hands are absolutely freezing when I get into work. A friend bought me a couple pairs of Grabber Hand Warmers. They worked so well, I rushed out and bought these HeatMax Hot Hands 2 because the price was slightly cheaper, the reviews were very positive, and I thought I'd get similar results. I was so wrong. The HeatMax warmers did not get anywhere close to being as warm as the Grabber warmers did, nor did they stay warm as long as the Grabbers. I went through and reread the positive reviews on this product just to see if I missed something. I can very honestly say I have no idea how this product got so many positive reviews. I'd be highly cautious when reading them because I'm certain some of the reviewers haven't tried other similar products.

This was a complete waste of a purchase for me. I'm going back and ordering what I should have ordered in the first place. I should have ordered Grabber Hand Warmers.

I don't know how I managed to deal with cold weather without these "Hot Hands". I bought a box a couple of winters ago and then ran out. As they're a seasonal item, I decided this year to stock up. I bought three boxes and gave one away as a Christmas present to a very grateful friend.

I keep a couple of sets in my car and another set in my purse. They heat up within minutes and stay warm most of the day. Anytime I need to be outside in chilly weather -- walking on a Puget Sound beach, for example -- I put one of these in each front pocket of my jeans; that will keep me comfortable all day.

I don't quite understand how people wear these in their gloves or socks... seems like they'd be bulky... but for pockets they are swell. Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to using them next summer when I'm camping in the mountains.

Excellent value for the money. These hold there heat for easily 8-10 hours. I have used them all night and awoken the next morning to them still being warm. I would recommend to anyone who does a lot of outdoor activities in the winter time.
