Handwarmers

MCMILLIGAN · Oct 16, 2009

After spending 8 hours at the side of a lake last week my hands where frozen, i have used the disposable handwarmers but have had mixed results, so has anyone used the zippo or peacock petol handwarmers as im thinking of getting one!

Neoprene fingerless gloves, you can always sit on your hands to keep them warm or shove them in your pockets.

Bloody hand warmers indeed

My wife treated me to an Avon Hot Pad. Only used once. Gives a damp heat but what a swine to reactivate. Hence only bused once. Neoprene gloves/fingerless still the best way.

i have a peacock handwarmer and they're great its like having your own personal radiator that keeps you nice and toastie ,i love mine so much i'm thinking of getting another so both sides of me are warm .i have the pocket sized one ,you get a filling cup that when used as prescribed will give 6 hours of heat ,but i just fill the thing up and id lasted nearly 18 hours of solid relentlass heat

cheapest around is this one (and the one ,i'll be buying next payday) and at this price you can afford two .

I have a couple of the petrol ones, they are great. the heat is consistent unlike the solid fuel type ones (charcoal sticks) which tend to go out.

Yeah, like everyone's posh enough to walk around with peacocks shoved in their pockets

Kids do not try Petrol Hand Warmers at home, Rodney is a trained professional

I dont like wearing gloves thats the problem !!!

It must be a 'wuuss' thing, cold hands

Work on a building site all winter long and you'll soon get the hang of ignoring cold fingers. To be honest, I just don't have a problem. A bit like wear a hat to keep the body warm, wear warm clothes on your arms

I must admit I've got 2 charcoal hand warmers but I've not used them for a couple of years now as I've got a "proper" winter suit and sticking my hands in the pockets is enough for me. I've got and have used neoprene gloves, woolen mitts etc. but a nice warm pocket is my preference. If you really have to have your hands exposed, a tip from Keith Arthur is to cover them in petrolium jelly/vaseline.

Be a man about it! Petroleum jelly, vaseline, gloves . . . . . whatever next?
