Tarlach. Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Can anybody recommend a tried and tested hand warmer ? Thanks Neil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Best hand warmer is Zippo lighter fuel/petrol hand warmer, however u need to replace the steel wool burning part quite regularly, depending on use. Most convenient is those chemical one use one, not cheap on the long run. Or you can use the boil again poppertype. Very cheap and can be picked up at pound shop or home bargain and reuse a number of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two charcoal type heaters but the blooming charcoal won’t stay alight !! I’ve also tried the chemical ones that you have to shake to activate but they are not much better than putting your hands in your pockets !

Must admit IF I'd used it, not saying I have, it's like having a piping hot cup of tea in your hands. However, getting it to light up in the first place does need practice, but flame stays lit all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I used to think that fingerless gloves must be pointless as its the fingers that get cold But since I tried them I use nothing else, even knitted ones that get wet still seem to work. Do get a bit dirty with squid and cuttle baits at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
