Rennier Alejandro Martinez, MD, a board-certified surgeon who specializes in vascular surgery at Baptist Health Celestron Elements FireCel+: The battery life of these hand warmers is impressive at 12 hours, but these devices are bigger, a little bulky, and not well-suited for smaller hands. There also are no controls to adjust the temperature setting, which is unfortunate since these devices run a little too hot at times. If you are looking for hand warmers to help alleviate your arthritis symptoms, you may want to take a look at the SkyGenius Rechargeable Hand Warmer. This easy-to-use device has a single button, a long battery life, and three different temperature settings. And while it takes some time to charge and the heat can be inconsistent at times, these hand warmers are effective. Make sure [you buy from] a reputable manufacturer,” suggests Wunderman. “This is important for anyone buying a rechargeable hand warmer or any heated accessory or apparel. If the manufacturer takes shortcuts in the materials or production process that could result in overcharging or overheating or can’t be found to stand by a warranty on the unit, it’s not worth the savings.”

and below: We don't recommend rechargeable hand warmers with this rating; you won't find any on our list. We Also Tested This compact hand warmer also has three different ports to accommodate a variety of cables, including USB, micro USB, and USB-C. And it can double as a power bank for your phone, which could be extremely useful when you're traveling. Although most people will find its sleek design appealing, if you have large hands, you may want a slightly larger hand warmer. During our testing, we read the instructions and rated how intuitive each device was. What they discovered is that many of the hand warmers we recommend are often self-explanatory and do not require a big learning curve, or they contain a relatively simple and straightforward instruction manual. Even those with multiple buttons or settings were relatively easy to use.

The only downside to these rechargeable hand warmers is that they do not have a carrying case or lanyard. But we felt all the other cool features make up for this slight inconvenience. If you have sensitive skin or nerve damage in your hands, these may not be the right-hand warmers for you. According to NavYash Gupta, MD, FACS, associate professor of surgery and clinical chief of vascular surgery at Cedars Sinai, people with these conditions can find it difficult to sense how hot the heat is and may not be able to tell when they are injuring their skin. Moleskin, wax cotton, fleece and tweed are just some of the materials used to make up our vast range of men’s gilets and body warmers. We know from testing our products across Yorkshire’s moorlands that an extra layer can make all the difference when it comes to keeping warm. Go ahead and discover what we have to offer in our collection of men's tweed gilets and body warmers above. For the active gent, our men's gilets are a very stylish solution to keeping comfortable on the move. We want you to be able to move freely when on the farm or out in the countryside so all our designs bear that in mind.

We researched dozens of rechargeable hand warmers and had our editors test 14 of them. Our editors used the hand warmers at least five times (for three hours at a time) through a two-week testing period in the winter. We evaluated the products for their number of heat settings, how long the battery lasts, and extras, such as charging ports or flashlights. We also considered cost, durability, and effectiveness when selecting the best hand warmers for our list. I love the hand warmers from Ocoopa for many reasons,” says Lynn Wunderman, who not only has Raynaud’s but is also the founder and chairman of the Raynaud’s Association. “First, they are a reputable brand, so I trust their products to perform well and be safe. Also, they offer several different models that vary in size, shape, colors, features, weight, and more, so you can select the one (or ones) that are best suited to your needs.”

I used my portable hand warmer when I went to a Notre Dame game recently,” says Bring. “It was cold—probably about 7 degrees outside and even colder with the wind chill. But my hands stayed warm even though I was out there for more than eight hours. Hand warmers also can prevent cold injuries when you are going to be in extreme conditions for an extended period of time.” It is important to understand the specific warmer being used and the maximum temperature it reaches,” Martinez says. “Some patients with dysfunction in the nervous system, such as peripheral neuropathy, may not be able to accurately sense the heat from these devices and thus may be at risk of burns if this is coupled with poor blood flow as well. As a rule, however, [hand warmers] are safe and provide a good way to improve cold hands symptoms.” The only downsides to this hand warmer are its poorly translated instructions as well as the number of buttons it has. These two characteristics somewhat hinder its intuitiveness and took some time for us to become familiar with the product and what it was capable of. Arthritis pain can sometimes make it difficult to perform day-to-day activities, but the right hand warmer might be able to bring some relief and improve the function of your hands. In fact, Gupta indicates that the heat from hand warmers may be therapeutic for those with arthritis and other similar conditions.

While these rechargeable hand warmers may come with a short charging cable (only 7 inches long) and take a while to charge, you cannot beat the extensive battery life. Once charged during our testing process, these hand warmers were at full battery strength throughout the entire testing period without needing to be charged again. People with arthritis or any type of muscular injury can benefit from hand warmers,” says Gupta. “The heat dilates or opens the blood vessels allowing more blood flow and delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.” During our testing process, we considered how long each device maintained its effectiveness after several uses as well as how well the product was made. Most of our recommendations scored very high in durability, with the exception of the SkyGenius hand warmers, which had a top plate that consistently popped off. However, this plate was easy to replace and did not deter us from recommending this product for people with arthritis.

to 5 stars: These are the best rechargeable hand warmers we tested. We recommend them without reservation. For people with Raynaud’s, using hand warmers can help alleviate these symptoms. But even people who do not have arthritis or Raynaud’s may have a use for hand warmers. If you spend a great deal of time outdoors hiking, camping, or even attending sporting events, hand warmers can be a helpful addition to your gear and help prevent injuries from the cold, including frostbite. For everyday wear, quilted styles are the perfect throw-over item. Buy one in a neutral colour and they will suit most outfits. If there’s a chill in the air but it’s not cold, your quilted gilet will be just fine. We often pop ours on when running errands because they keep you so warm and cushiony inside!

That said, these gloves run a bit big and may not be suitable for small hands, especially if you intend to use them for sports like cross-country or downhill skiing. They also have a large power button that is located on the front of the glove that could get pushed by accident during vigorous outdoor activities. They’re also pricey, which might be worth it if you use them frequently, but for occasional use, it’s probably not worth it.

When buying rechargeable hand warmers, [you want to be sure] the delivery of consistent, reliable heat is equally dispersed through the hand and not arising from a single point,” says Rennier Alejandro Martinez, MD, a board-certified surgeon who specializes in vascular surgery at Baptist Health. “Also, ensure it is portable so that it is easy to carry around. The easier it is to carry, the more likely patients will use them as often as they need to.” We also evaluated the ease of use, the battery life, and the design. Additionally, we considered how intuitive the instructions were, as well as the device’s extra features, cost, and durability. Karecel Hand Warmers Rechargeable: This dual-sided hand warmer stayed warm throughout the testing and had three temperature settings, but it was uncomfortably hot at times. The heat produced was also inconsistent, with it frequently appearing warmer on one side than the other. Throughout the testing, we evaluated how effectively the hand warmers worked. We considered how warm the devices were and whether or not they stayed warm while being used.
