Any Good Reusable Hand Warmers?

[iacas]

The only reusable hand warmers I can find these days are the chemical ones that last about half an hour. That's about 2.5 to 3.5 hours too short for a round of golf (not including loosening up or practice putting before the round), so I was thinking about....

Back in the day they used to have hand warmers that had little propane heaters in them or something. It looked like an old-school Zippo lighter that you wrapped in some cloth or felt or something which stayed warm for a few hours...? Yeah?

Maybe I'm remembering wrong. But I hope not - I hope I can still get a little warmer somewhere. Any ideas, tips, suggestions?

I knew exactly what you were talking about I am sure there are other places to find em, you can search charcoal hand warmers or fuel hand warmers

I typically purchase these at Dick's: http://www.amazon.com/Heat-Treat-Han...=toolmonger-20 They last me the whole round and are usually hotter by the end of the round than they were when I first started. Takes them about 30 minutes to really heat up but after that they are good for hours.

Think the keyword is "reusable". I think I've seen what you are talking about but haven't seen any in long time.

Last winter the course where I play (mostly) sold the hell out of these things, ofcourse for a considerable price increase that at DICK'S! I watched a foresome put them in the shirt sleeves, pockets, in gloves...that was enough for me, I went home!

You are correct. I figured I'd still suggest them considering they are just a couple bucks a piece and as long as they last, well worth it in my book. They even make some in the shape of a foot so you can put them inside of your shoe.

You guys must be hardcore - for me, when mitts/gloves and parka and a wool cap don't do the trick it's time to go inside.

I just can't stand my hands to be cold at all. Even if it's around 40, gloves keep my hands warm, but not

that warm. I typically have a pair of these gloves without fingers (not sure what the official name is) and I keep the warmers in there while I'm swinging and then wear them after I swing. Keeps things nice and warm.

When I was young people used "Jone" heaters, do things like that still exist?

My dad and all his friends used them for winter golf for years and years.

Yeah, that's the picture I remember seeing recently that got me thinking about these again.

Thanks.

There's this new-fangled thing called "Google". I typed in "hand warmer" and at the top of the list was this: http://www.zippo.com/Products/handWarmer.aspx?bhcp=1

I still have a couple Jon-e hand warmers I think, somewhere.

Check the link.

I got golf mittens 2 years ago very warm, waterproof, and they clean up easy. If you are looking for a straight hand warmer I'd have to agree with cheap ones from your local sporting goods store.

This is what I used to use for snowboarding in NH (I taught snowboarding in NH for 4 years). It worked from 7 a.m to 5 p.m. easily. Temperature pretty much stayed same (little hot.. but for cold weather, that warmed me fast) till 5 p.m.

Sweet, I think I'll pick one up and use it mainly for snowboarding. Maybe I'll attempt playing golf in the winter this year. It already feels like winter in NY and its only October.

Yet they don't show up when you Google "reusable hand warmer." Bizarre.

But still, me fail, since I said "Zippo" right in the first stupid post but never Googled "Zippo hand warmer." Derrrr. Exactly (obviously) what I was looking for.

Stupid question but can you refill the zippo with more fuel???

[ryohazuki222]

you can refill the zippo.

i was reading the reviews and some guy is comparing it to the Peacock hand warmer... anyone tried one of those?

can you turn em on and off at all?
