hand /pocket warmers.

[Asc.rudeboy]

ok so last night i was stuck on a boat with no genni,no heater and freezing ym ass off,,then i rememberd my loving wife had bought me a couple packs of pocket warmers,,so never using them before i read the directions opend 2 packs for me and my deckhand,, (we were all but huging each other trying to stay warm) after reading the warning about possibly getting burned i was completly let down,,they got luke warm at best had to hold them real tight for any kind of heat,,,,but it did help the night go by faster wile me and the deckhand shook them and tried this and that to get them hot..


are there any pocket heaters you guys recomend....im tempeted to buy a few packs of the therma wraps,i know they get warm enough to help keep you from shivering even if it is only for 15 or 20 mins

I've tried all the disposable pocket warmers you can buy commercially, they all suck. I had a reusable one that was awesome, but you had to boil it to reset it which was a pain in the ass.

Is there any super cool mil-spec **** we don't know about?

i have winter ware,but you never know when your gonna get stuck out on the boat and the weather change quickly,,,and im just tired of paching a huge back pack with xtra gear for 2 or 3 typs of weather,,,im trying to compress my backpack,looking for something/somethings to help with the warming issue,,i all ready have face mask,hats,gloves,,,but anyone ever stood on freezing cold ass metal knows how fast it will go streight to the bone....

its the coke can theroy,,place a coke can in the ice chest and the contents get super cold heat/cold transfer is instant,,,same thing with us sitting on a huge aluminum boat with no insulation except the river is the ice chest and im the firggen liquid,,thermals dont help as much as you would think whe youjust standing in one spot on cold metal.

I have 2 that I like

One is this style

The other is this style
[ame]http://www.amazon.com/Zippo-zippo-20088-Hand-Warmer/dp/B000KGET4C/ref=pd_bxgy_sg_img_b[/ame]

The first one is a pain to recharge in the field the second is on fire, take your pick.

Who do u work for?

 

[Asc.rudeboy]

The cheap ones will get hot, but you have to keep them in a well insulated area, like a pocket. I've taped them to the top of my boots to keep my feet warm, worked pretty well. Put them in the pockets of your bottom layer and they work too well, hence the burn warnings.

Another note, they have to breathe, but not out in the open or you dissipate all of the heat. just mash them around in your pocket then let them sit for a while.

 

[Asc.rudeboy]

i got a couple packs left,soo ill try that next time

 

[owen502]

Yeah, keep the off the skin, but enclosed inside a pocket. They do heat up if enclosed.
