Zippo Hand Warmers

I thought $12 was a pretty good deal.

I remember using these as kids back in the dark ages (I think they were the Jon-E brand rather than Zippos back then, but same principle). We'd stuff them in our pockets when out ice fishing or sledding or otherwise goofing off in the winter to keep our digits from freezing.

I've had a couple of the Zippo branded ones for the past ten years or so, and they work great. Just bought a couple more to stash in my get home bag.

Good stocking stuffers too for those of us who live up north where such things are needed.

Thanks for the heads up!
Just ordered one for a stocking stuffer for my Son.

Yeah, this is a neat little gadget, been available for many years, and they really work.

What do you guys think about the electric ones. They double as a battery bank to charge phones and such or can serve as electric hand warmers. Saw a pair for sale at SAMS club yesterday for about $30. Like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G...Z0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

I'd rather the catalytic.

I’ve always wanted to try one. You just light it and stick it in your pocket? Is there enough air in there to keep them lit? Stupid question probably but I’ve never liked the chemical ones. Do most people get 1 for each pocket or just swap it back and forth?

Decent article about these which answers pedropcola's questions:

Grabbed four or five of those things at Walmart last year as stocking stuffers.

Put one in your jacket on a frosty morning in the deer stand…it’s a difference maker.

Easy to use and no drama.

Love these little lifesavers!

I have a hard time getting a useable temp from these. No sock means too hot, and it never seems warm enough with the sock that comes with it.

Thanks for posting. I ordered a couple of the 6-hour versions. https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-H...r%2Caps%2C104&sr=1-3

Thanks for posting, just ordered 2 to try out. I've struggled up here with painfully cold fingers especially while out photographing. My daughter bought me the Zippo rechargeable ones to try. I haven't been real impressed, they don't seem to stay warm for more than a couple of hours, then there's always having to remember to charge them.

If only they made it with a lid I can flip open and hear that "clink".

I’ve got one of those and some other varieties floating around, honestly the chemical hand warmers are as good as anything else in my opinion.

I get nervous about the battery ones.

I have one of those at work. Good enough for cold finger in the office. If I'm outside running for long periods of time in the winter (training runs can go for hours), I use those chemical hotpacks in my gloves, and sometimes special sized ones for on top of my toes. But only those if I'm running in single digits, or there's a lot of wind. If it's much about 10-20, hand packs are good enough.

Deer love these things. They can smell them down wind for several hundred yards.

One of mine is a JON-E G1 made by Aladdin Mfg, Minn.

Thanks. I picked up a couple. Next I started looking at the lighters.

A little holiday shopping.
