Had a whitby hand warmer bought for my birthday ,just fired it up ready for Bisley next weekend (although i might not need it ) first impresions are its bloody briliant ....

Another shooting excuse gone ....................................

I know they take a few minutes to get going but even so....

I have two of something similar and a lot cheaper too, one for each pocket/hand.

They are just great fire them up, I usually do this before leaving for the range, and they run for at least 12 hours.

Mine were £9 each delivered.

I use the chemical type just open them up, scrunch them around and bung them in your pockets, super light and just warm however they get the job done. Downside is if I am staking out something for a couple of hours before Dusk whilst lying on frozen ground...

I bought two of these:

I also have the genuine Zippo version. The Zippo is twice as big and four times the price but the ebay ones are at least as good.

You'll find the more you use them the easier they are to light as well.

I have 3 hand warmers that use the charcoal sticks and I find that by placing one in the small of my back in a cloth pocket goes a long way to keep generally warm, plus one in each pocket.

Of course the Zippo is more expensive , its not made by slave labor .
