    They work well when you drop them in the toe of your boot also.

    They're great. I use them every year deer hunting. Two in my gloves, two in my boots. They last all day and I have everything warm and toasty. Next year..maybe one for the..uhnnn..Seriously, they do work just fine.

    Use a rubber band to wrap one around a can of beanie weenies, drop it in your pack about an hour before lunch time.

    I use and I love them. If your feet are a problem area like mine they make some for your boots that have adheisive backs so they dont slide around and they are alot thinner and don't get as hot 106 deg. vs 140deg it makes alot of difference in comfort[;)]

    I think they're totally cool.

    The disposable, dry variety are usually fine iron shavings, and the heat is produced as these things oxidize (rust) after they are exposed to oxygen. I find that amazing.

    The disposable, wet variety (that get cold rather than hot, for sports injuries) are certain salts which mix with water and get cold when you pop the inner bladder. These don't excite me quite as much as the rust heat packs.

    But there are also newer, wet varieties that produce heat and are rechargeable (by boiling them) and can be activated on demand. I've no idea how these work. Does anybody else?

    I use them when I go skiing. I toss one in each glove and it keeps my hands warm for hours. They also make ones for the inside of your boots to keep your feet warm.

    Good stuff, really cheap (less than a buck a package at Wal-mart) and you just have to make sure that you don't put it on you when your skin is already too cold, otherwise you can risk burning your skin. IOW, put them in BEFORE you need them, not after you can't feel your fingers.

    Just a different type of hand warmer. There are single use hand warmers and multi use hand warmers. This type can be used multiple times. The company that makes this type of hand warmer also makes warmers for back, neck, seat, and shipping stuff.
