One of the worst things about fall and winter is dealing with cold hands. What do you do when your hands feel like two blocks of ice? You pick up this miracle cold weather product: a rechargeable hand warmer.

It may sound frivolous, but this product just might change the way you view the colder months. Space heaters are out, as are other disposable self-heating products that don’t last beyond half an hour.

What is a rechargeable hand warmer?

If you spend a lot of time outdoors in the colder months or tend to have cold hands, rechargeable hand warmers are a must-have. Not only are they some of the best gifts for outdoor lovers, but they’re also some of the best winter camping gear you can have on hand.

Rechargeable hand warmers are usually small, plastic devices meant for use again and again. Not only are they better for the environment than their disposable alternatives, but they’re affordable and come with awesome features that one-use hand warmers aren’t able to.

You can keep your preferred heat level constant until the device runs out of battery. No more short-lived disposable hand warmers or cold weather canceling the heat out. When the large 5200 mAh battery is drained, just connect it to a USB-C charger and juice it back up. It even doubles as a battery bank should you need to charge your phone or other electronics — an important feature when you consider prepping your car for winter emergencies.

How to use a rechargeable hand warmer

You can use your hand warmer however you’d like. Pick one up and turn it around in your hands for a nice, warm and toasty feeling. Buy two and you can hold one in each hand to keep them toasty as the devices warm up. You could also place a warmer in your pocket to heat your hands without having to hold them.

These warmers are especially great for anyone who has to spend a lot of time in the cold. Pair it with some cold weather workwear and you’ll be ready to deal with whatever cold temperatures Mother Nature throws your way.

Verified purchaser David Stednitz has enjoyed his time with the warmer. “Better than the picures and more useful than described,” he writes. “This little gadget is way more than a simple hand warmer.”

Fellow verified purchaser Mike says the warmer is “very warm,” and that it “slips into his gloves nicely.”

“Awesome and so hot,” verified purchaser Melanie writes in her review. Sometimes, she’ll “take off her gloves and hold the warmer inside her pocket with her bare hands for a quick heat up.”

You won’t need to buy three or four just to throw away when they quit working, either. This will save you some cash in the long run. Still, it might be a good idea to buy a few.
