Just had a wee shifty at them. Mrs Slick came on a ride with me on Sunday but did struggle a bit with cold hands. I'm going to pick a couple of them up for her just as soon as I can get in.

Interesting!
How do they work - some kind of reversible chemical reaction?

I've had some in the past, and whilst they do generate heat I found that after 20 minutes or so of riding they no longer kept my hands warm. Short rides brilliant, anything longer they are useless.
They are also selling the use once ones which they claim last 10 hours. I've bought some of them and will try them out over the winter

You crack a metal disc in them to start the reaction and the whole thing turns solid. You normally need to boil them in water to reset them back to liquid for reuse.

I was in Lidl today but didn't spot them. I might nip out and buy a few for cheapo Christmas presents.
Um..looked at them last night but figured for a short commute 2 packs would be needed, morning and evening with the whole lot having to boiled each evening or for a quid more ski gloves. The latter won the judgement and then I failed to put them on this morning and had somewhat cold hands by the time I got to work using normal full finger gloves

Interesting. May look tomorrow. Heard about cyclists using them in their shoes. How do you do this? (Serious question)

The gloves are lovely and toasty, tomorrow should see how waterproof they are

I have used them for a good few years, but this year decided to give the lid l item a go, I think I prefer them.

The ones I've used - not Lidl but the same idea - worked best if you kept on massaging them. That's a bit difficult if you're holding the handlebars but you lot who can ride no handed will be fine...
