Better than a rice sock !!

Is anyone using these? If so, how are they? And are they worth buying?

Could you give a link, I would like some more information.

Here you go. I think those look very interesting and could be very useful to PE. ;)

How do sodium-acetate heat pads work? | HowStuffWorks

Can be found at any outdoor sports store. Drop them in boiling water, let the crystal salts dissolve and they are charged. Later, snap the little bimetal button and they crystallize, emitting heat in a controlled fashion. Search at rei.com, forinstance.

Drawback is that these modern handwarmer heat bags have a slightly cooler heat than the old kind, but the benefit is that you can safely snuggle them into your underwear before working out without burning yourself.

Good, simple, cheap and portable.

Looks interesting. I wear the non-reusable hand-warmers daily, throughout the day (i.e., at work). They’re good for over eight hours. I believe the continuous heat is conducive to growth and healing, but not all would agree (discussed in an earlier thread I started).

Trick Little Portable Heat Pad

Why are they so “unknown” in the PE world, why don’t people use them that much?

I think they’re great for traveling when you don’t have easy microwave access to heat a standard rice sock, but to have to boil water to reactivate them every day gets tedious. Very cool little item though with lots of uses. :)

Well tps it’s 2006, there are water boilers that gets the job done in 1 min ;)

Lol

I just bought some heatpads in a local store, and I like them, they are really warm and stay warm for atleast 10 min, and then they start to decrease in heat. But more then that you don’t need as PE warmup. All though the one I bought were small, so it’s a bit tricky, but I’m sure a bigger on would be perfect.

Thumbs up for heatpads.

Hey guys I was visiting a friend last nite and she had just come back from New York with the coolest gift I had seen in a while. It was a re-usable heating pad. Its from a website called https://www.wonderwarmers.com They make these things in all shapes and sizes and they are continously re-usable. Well of course when I saw them I thought of the PE uses. They are supposed to stay hot for an hour or more. And they dont smell nasty when heated either.

Here is a couple of pictures.

Already been discussed :)
