Why using hand warmers is often a good idea
When you're outdoors in winter — skiing, snowboarding, hiking, walking, hunting, etc. — keeping your extremities warm is often a challenge. Moisture, cold, wind or low temperatures can quickly make your feet or hands freezing cold, which spoils your comfort, reduces sensation and can even affect your circulation.
Therm-ic heat packs provide an instant, portable and convenient source of heat, helping to preserve body heat where it is most needed — feet, hands or extremities — so you can continue your activities with peace of mind.
What Therm-ic heat packs offer
-
Active & fast heat — As soon as the pouch is opened, the heat packs activate on contact with the air. They diffuse constant heat in a few minutes, lasting up to 6 to 8 hours depending on the type (feet, hands, pockets).
-
Simple & ready to use — No batteries, plugs or complex equipment required: just open, position (socks, boots, gloves, pockets) — it's plug & play. Very practical for occasional use, on outings, hikes or in town.
-
Suitable for many activities — Whether skiing, snowboarding, hiking, hunting, walking in cold weather, spending a day outdoors, or simply waiting in the cold: the heaters are versatile and adapt to a variety of uses.
-
Insulation & thermal comfort without complex adjustments — Even without heated socks or insoles, these ‘disposable’ patches provide effective extra warmth, which is especially useful when conditions are unpredictable or you don't want to install a complete heating system.
-
A smart, space-saving accessory— Easy to carry and store—a real plus for your ski or hiking backpack, or for a quick ‘heat boost’ solution when needed.
Who are Therm‑ic heaters for?
- Skiers, hikers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts in winter or cold weather — to keep feet and hands warm without heavy equipment.
- City dwellers or users in cold environments — pedestrians, commuters, urban cyclists — who want a ‘quick fix’ for commutes, waiting times, and winter days.
- For those looking for a convenient, maintenance-free solution — no batteries, no charging, ready to use immediately.
- For those who want to optimise their thermal comfort in boots, shoes and gloves — often complemented by semi-technical solutions (insoles, socks, gloves) when the cold lasts or use is prolonged.
Expert advice & best practices
-
Position the heaters on the sock, not directly on the skin — they are designed to heat through layers of fabric, otherwise there is a risk of irritation.
- Use at the first signs of cold — apply them early (before your feet/hands are frozen) to maximise effectiveness and avoid discomfort.
- Combine with suitable socks/insoles/footwear — for optimal comfort: extra warmth + good fit + passive insulation.
- Plan for the unexpected — keep 1–2 pairs in your bag — useful for skiing, hiking, or changing weather conditions.
