I've been looking at zippo hand warmers. In the past I've tried the charcoal hand warmers and found them to be not very good for what I won't. So thinking of the zippo one to try. As I suffer with cold hads . I don't no why but ever since I've stopped riding a motorbike I've suffed with the cold on my hands. I'm not keen on using gloves. So I was wondering what the zippo hand warmers are any good.

They are great, highly recommend them. Actually lighting them takes a little while to get the hang of but on a full tank (so to speak) you'll get a good 12 hours of heat. I got one as a gift, not sure why the one as I definitely have two hands
, and after using it I immediately got another one and also a couple for the family.
You won't be disappointed

I suffer also and when long trotting with a centrepin reel in the depths of winter they are a godsend as gloves get in the way. Very simple to refuel and get going. IfI'm only going for a few hours once finished I'll pop them in a plastic bag to cut off the air supply as they have no way of turning off.

I have a couple of the charcoal ones one for each pocket lol
My daughter bought me a few of the gel type ones for Xmas a few years ago but I haven't used them as I can find them.
She's probably nicked them back lol

might be worth looking into the USB handwarmers too? no fuel to mess around with and there are plenty to choose from ,some I believe have variable output.

They are brilliant, I've got 2, one for each jacket pocket. Light it like this and you won't go far wrong, I usually use my stove at step 4.

So much easier to light with the blowtorch lighters you buy on eBay.
I bought a couple of imitation peacock handwarmers about 10 years ago and have been absolutely brilliant.essential for cold nights one in each pocket and as they last so long I leave my coat on top of my sleeping bag creating a bit of central heating
