The best rechargeable hand warmers to keep you warm this winter, tried and tested

The EnjoyNest Hand Warmers are great if you are looking for a device that serves multiple functions when you are outdoors, travelling or on the road. It comes as a pair and heats up in seconds and evenly all around. There are three heat settings to choose from. The EnjoyNest Hand Warmers was tested by Akhila Thomas, Digital Writer at Yours and she said: "The size is also perfect to fit snugly in your palm or slip it into a pocket. It also serves as a portable power source which would come handy when you are on the go. Both handwarmers also function as flashlights which are quite powerful given their compact size. The set also comes with a split charging cable so you can charge both the devices simultaneously. However, one downside is that the length of the cable is quite short. There is also a pouch included to store them in when you are not using it."

Listed on Raynaud's Disease.com as one of their most recommended instant hand warmers, the HotRox Double Sided Electronic Hand Warmer was tested by Akhila Thomas, Digital Writer at Yours and she said: “Heating up in just 15 seconds, this handwarmer is sure to get those fingers warmed up in no time at all. It heats up evenly on both sides and the heat lasts for up to six hours (depending on which heat setting is selected) so it's perfect for popping in your pocket when you're heading out for the day during colder weather spells.”

“There are two heat settings to choose from depending on what you need. The sleek, smooth design also ensures that it fits snugly in your palm. However, one downside is that the body does not have much grip, so it could be a bit slippery if you’re holding it with gloves on. It can also take up to four hours to fully recharge, which is a bit of a bind.”

Available in black, blue and pink, the small and lovely shape of the infray Hand Warmer makes it easy to carry and comfortable to hold. This device was tested by Akhila Thomas, Digital Writer at Yours and she said: “With three levels of temperature heating, your hands will stay toasty and warm no matter the weather. You can feel the benefits instantly with the device heating up in seconds. It also doubles up as a power bank and comes with a cable and an adapter with USB type and C-type charging ports, which makes it helpful for charging on the go. The body has grip all over and fits comfortably in your palm too.”

You can use it during outdoor pursuits, such as golf, walking and climbing. It also comes with a handy pouch to store it. While it does heat up instantly, I found that it runs out quicker than other similar devices and you may have to charge it more often.

Whether you're travelling to work, nipping to the shops or going for a roam around the countryside, the Jsdoin Hand Warmer will warm up your hands in a jiffy. Available in black and pink colours, this device was tested by Akhila Thomas, Digital Writer at Yours and she said: “It heats up in a matter of seconds and offers double-side heat. But I have noticed that it does not heat up evenly on both sides and one side is a bit warmer than the other. You can also choose to have it warm only on one side or both sides depending on your requirement with a simple setting.”

“It has three temperature levels so you can adjust the heat and it easily keeps you warm for about four to five hours. Alternatively, this heat device can also be used as a form of hot rock therapy, providing heat treatment to a specific part of the body. It also doubles as a power bank for charging on the go.”

We really like the design and concept of these OUTJUT Rechargeable Pocket Hand Warmers. The shape of these hand warmers was inspired by the contours of McLaren sports cars, and the curves ergonomically fit your hands. You can keep the pair separate and have one in each pocket for lightweight and portable heating. Alternatively, snap them together to form one larger double-sided hand warmer.

These pocket hand warmers have three heat settings. On Low (32–42°C) they should last about 20 hours, Medium (42–48°C) about 14 hours and on High (48–55°C) about 8.5 hours. With a type-C charging port, these hand warmers can be fully charged in three to four hours. Just note that the heating element automatically shuts off during charging.

Customers say that these are small enough to slip inside a winter glove and the heat is long-lasting on the lowest setting. In fact, the highest setting can be rather too hot to be used as a hand warmer, it may be better suited to extreme outdoor pursuits. Whether you're golfing on a chilly day or looking for a warming device that's small enough to be slipped into socks and gloves, these warmers are top-notch for battery life and practicality.

Customers have shared that they enjoy using this hand warmer when dog walking. It's also proved to be effective for those who have Raynaud's disease. However, a customer commented that the battery only lasted an hour. It's important to fully charge the hand warmer and take into account that using it on a higher heat setting will deplete the battery faster.
