How to Deactivate and Store Them For Repeated Use

These require oxygen to activate so I pack them into an empty prescription pill bottle with an airtight lid when not in use. I place them inside my gloves on cold mornings for my 45 minute walk then pack them nice and tight in storage until the next morning. Each pair lasts about a week, takes about 15 minutes to heat up and needs O2 (oxygen) to produce heat. This is why these don't work well inside a winter boot. There is not enough oxygen.

Reynaud's Disease? Try These!

Great product. I have been using these for years. Keeps my hands warm no matter how frigid outside. I even use them all year when I go the grocery store. I have Reynaud's Disease and my hands get terribly cold and numb when I am in the refrigerated sections of the store A pair of these helps tremendously.

Thank you from Alaska!

I added these into some goody bags I'm giving to the homeless. I'm super thrilled that I can buy it in bulk for a reasonable price!

Excellent - Exceeded Expectations

I have been using a different brand of hand warmers over the past couple of winters and actually ordered these by mistake. I realized it too late to cancel the order so decided to keep them and give them a try. Both my wife and I used these hand warmers in lite gloves almost every day on a recent hiking trip along the continental divide. They worked as good, if not even a little better, than the brand I had been using. We opened the package, shook the warming packets for a few seconds and put them in our gloves 15 to 30 minutes before starting out and they were already quite warm by the time we put the gloves on. They got quite hot within an hour and stayed hot all day long keeping our hands warm even in the cold, snowy, wet conditions. I have Raynaud's Syndrome (cold fingers) making hand warmers an absolute necessity and these hand warmers kept my fingers warm in freezing weather while wearing only thin gloves. Based on several reviews I did check the expiration date when I received them to make sure that they were not expired and checked a number of the packages to see if any of them had solidified - everything checked out OK. Based on my experience with this first box of 40, I will order them again when needed.

Great for cold hands!

My wife uses these frequently. Durable packaging easily survives being bounced around in a purse or glovebox for a while before use. Easy open mylar outer package. (Hint, if the "tear here" notch isn't cut all the way to the edge, just fold the edge in slightly and tear.) The warmers themselves are soft cloth pouches that fit comfortably in your palm/pocket. The duration of the heat provided is exceptional. Easily a half day. Note: The warmers require oxygen to produce heat. If you clutch them tightly in your hand for long periods, the heat output will fade. To re-heat, just shake the pouch and place in a pocket for 5 minutes. These can get pretty warm, so I wouldn't advise putting them against bare skin for long periods, or lying them on wood or painted surfaces either.

Freezing Hands at Ranch - Hints to make them last and work

First, I'll agree with one reviewer who said these do not heat up quickly and do not get very warm. I've worked around some things, as I rely heavily on these to keep my hands from freezing as I work to take care of horses, daily, no matter how bad the weather, sometimes as low as 20 below zero. Before I leave the house, I slip these into the microwave for a few seconds. You'd have to test yours to figure out the timing. This gives them a boost and they are immediately warm. In severe weather, I sometimes use two pair at a time. I start out with a silk glove liner, put one in my palm, slip on a cotton glove and put one on the back of my hand, (or in the silk glove) before putting on my final and outer glove. These warmers will last for about ten hours unless, if you are out for a couple of hours at a time, off and on like I am, you can make them last longer by sealing them tightly in a plastic bag (sandwhich). With no air, the heating stops. I can make one pair last for possibly three days. I keep a marker handy and just make a little slash mark for each hour I've used them. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but it's the only thing that makes them affordable for me. As one reviewer said, they use them for a family member with Raynaud's Syndrome. I have that too. Keeping my hands from freezing is a challenge. I sometimes resort to the foot warmer's with the higher temperatures. Added note for 2014. The customer service from this company was beyond outstanding. I bought two boxes and had the problem of many of the packets being hard on the edge and unusable. I think air must have gotten inside the air tight packets during manufacturing. I contacted the company directly. They were so friendly and helpful I felt like I was talking to good neighbors. They sent me a fedx envelope, postage paid so I could return a few of the packets to them. Within days, they mailed me replacements for my entire two boxes. Best customer service I've ever experienced.

PRO TIP- Put on back of neck.

I have been using these for years and they work well if you know what to expect and how to use them. They are not going to get extremely hot, but will provide some extra warmth that will make a difference between freezing and being comfortable. My tips: -OPEN THE PACKAGE AHEAD OF TIME. These need 15 - 20 minutes to really start warming up. - PUT THEM IN A POCKET - NOT OPEN AIR. They will get warmer if you keep them in an enclosed pocket. **PRO TIP** PUT ONE ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK. These aren’t just for hands. I found by putting one on the back of my neck securing it with a scarf or beanie, my WHOLE BODY FEELS WARM. I have been using these when I visit Virginia or New York. I’m from Los Angeles, so I’m not used to anything below 50 degrees during the day. These keep me warm!

Exactly what I wanted

Not much to say. I've used these before and I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement. Value/Cost ratio is acceptable. Mesh surrounding heat source is thin enough to allow ample heat radiance while "protecting" from the potential for burns. They're just as advertised. Give them a hard squeeze, shake them and wait about a minute....niiiiiice and toasty. I put these in my gloves and (if I'm sitting for more than 10 minutes) in the toes of my boots. But! Do NOT put them in your shoes if you're walking &/or take them out of your shoes before starting to walk. They are VERY warm. So, if you have sensitive skin or overheat easily.... be mindful. I have neither problem and these work great for me. My only complaint is they dont last long enough. Maybe a solid 15-30 minutes... depending on how protected they are from the outside air. But this is only a personal preference because, I have very poor circulation and am cold all the time. These are not very environmentally friendly...so if you're strongly conscientious about that...might want to go a different route. All that being said.... sure, I would recommend.

Great portable personal heat source

I love these! Winter time and just cold weather in general is always very uncomfortable for me, my feet become ice cubes very easily and my Raynaud's flares easily causing my fingers to be numb all the time. I carry these around with me during the winter and use them daily. They generate a good amount of heat for the describe 10 hours and sometimes even more depending on how much open air they are exposed to. I also find that if I use them for only a couple hours, I can drop them in a ziplock bag, squeeze out the excess air and they will cool off and be ready for some more action when you need them later. I also like to wear two pair of thermal socks during the winter, i place one warmer on the top of each foot between the sock layers. Feet stay warm :)

Absolutely essential here in the North Country, and a great value on Amazon

I live in the far north U.S.A., where Winter is long, cold, and snowy. Even if I'm just going out to brush off snow from my car and defrost the windshield, I may have to put these into my ski mittens (below +10 degrees, gloves won't work even for this 15-minute task). Where I live, here in the middle of nowhere, there are plenty of stores that are happy to sell a pair of HotHands for $2, $3, $4, or even (the ski resorts) $5 per pair, and so I LOVE being able to buy these by the box from Amazon. I just calculated the current price, $26.37, for a box of 40, and that's about $0.86 per pair, a tremendous value. It's so nice, when visitors and houseguests are here, to be able to say, "here, you're going to need these!" and tuck a set or two into guests' jacket pockets. When I'm skiing, they're good in my mittens for 3-4 hours (if you're an all-day skier, tuck a second set into your jacket pocket). I also buy HotHands "Toes" from Amazon, do have to slip a set into my boots before shoveling off the car, always slip a set under my toes in ski boots (even though I have Hotronics), and, again, love feeling free to hand them out to visitors and houseguests.
