The above link, do you guys think it will help in flying over the winter period? My Zippo hand warmer is not enough I find, in keeping me warm enough...

For 20 notes its got to be worth a punt I suppose.
I just wear more layers starting with a decent thermal base layer topped with a windproof outer. I also use the zippo warmers I have two, one for each pocket for my hands. They work well and stay really hot as long as you keep them in a pocket.

The single review on the site seems good, get rechargeable batteries though.

[muscleflex]

yeah, it looks like the batteries only last for 2 hours. i wonder if lipos would work.

[Downdraft]

Bought one of these for my son a couple of years back when he was working as a mechanic in a freezing cold workshop. It worked very well but seriously ate batteries. In the end my wife killed it in the washing machine but it did last for an entire winter and was worth the small outlay.

I ve been using one since last Christmas and its still going strong. As above it eats batteries. 3 AA in in the right pocket and 3 in the left. Stays quite hot for about 1/2 hour then keps good warmth for another 2-3 hours. Heating elements are only on your upper chest and I can give the impression you have split a hot drink down your front but on really cold days it a god send!

I find I can keep my body warm enough, but its my feet that get coldest, always wonded about these [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004X71R6C/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?creative=22146&creativeASIN=B004X71R6C&linkCode=asn&ref_=asc_df_B004X71R6C10588875&tag=googlecouk06-21[/URL]

Looks like a good option for a lipo conversion!

Man up a bit and put a few more layers on!

Oil drum and 3 sacks of firewood each day :) Can't believe we didn't start doing that earlier. Must remember the jacket potatoes this weekend..

For me if my feet and noggin are warm then I'm okay. Sunridge fishing wellies with liners and a furry hat. But I am a Geordie and used to going out in only a T shirt :D

[dieselcarb]

it may feel a bit funny at first but years ago when fishing in winter and riding motorbike i used to put a sock on then put feet in a carrier bag then another sock then boots that keeps the heat in as wavey said head and feet warm u warm....... but dont wear just a t shirt :P
