Was given a couple of these for Christmas, they're only a pound a pair. They're single use (i.e. not rechargeable), chemical handwarmers.

To activate, just open the packet. Inside is what looks like a large teabag. After a few seconds it heats up to a hot, but comfortable temperature

I activated one last night as I was in my hammock at about 11:30pm. The packet said up to 10 hours of heat but I didn't believe that.

This morning, however, at 9:30am it was still giving off plenty of heat! I was very impressed.

Not the biggest unit so won't realistically heat a cold sleeping bag but I imagine with one in each glove you'd have toasty hands on a cold day.

Pros: cheap, easy to use, long lasting, compact

Cons: not rechargeable

Highly recommended!

They are great, a pal put me onto them a few years ago when were hammock camping regularly in sub zero temps, great to drop inside a sleeping bag or even down in a welly.

The ones I've tried have cooled down after three or four hours though, I guess they vary
