[redhawkdancing]

Any one use these while riding? What ya think of them?

don't know, but I'd love to know as well.

I haven't used them for riding but I use them when hunting and fishing. Once the packet is opened they need a couple minutes to warm up. And they do get pretty warm as long as they stay dry.

yea these things are awesome. used em when i played lacrosse in high school. and for hunting, but i usually end up sticking em in my boots instead of my pockets.

I've used them for skiing and other outdoor cold-weather activities.  They get pretty hot, sometimes even uncomfortable.  They also make a special kind for your shoes that have a sticky side so they will not shift around.  The only problem I've had is that they aren't effective in warming your fingers thoroughly in gloves (my palms get nice and sweaty, though!!).  They work awesome in mittens, of course!

I have 2 of these, actually 3 cause I have a jumbo one also

Zippo Handy Warmer - Hand Warmer

I've used similar ones to those. What I would do is put them up against the inside of my wrist. The blood vessels are close to the skin there, and it helps to warm the blood on it's way to the fingers. The inside of the gloves just didn't seem to work as well.

I've tried them... and found that they just do NOT do the trick for me while riding. The biggest problem I have is keeping my fingertips warm... and no matter where I put them in my gloves... they just do not do enough for me. I typically will continue to ride at 20 to 25 degrees... and have occasionally a little bit colder than that. I'm going to get some snow mobile gloves this winter.

Any idea how hot these actually get, temp-wise? I need to find a way to keep the inside of my tank bag about 90 degrees.

Unfortunately not hot enough to do something like that unless maybe you loaded a bunch in and really insulated your bag. I clearly never set up an experiment to measure it but from my experience using hand-warmers its not that hot.

Lol. I've been trying to figure out a way to safely transport my bearded dragon on days that I don't have access to a cage. Something like this or maybe a microwave heat pack would be ideal. He's fine on short trips, but I don't wanna push it.

oh fer gossakes!! ,, no need to brag lad... sit further back from the tank and do your zip up.. no need to be wavin yer "bearded dragon" around .. even hidden in a tank bag.. imagine what the ladies will think? .. you been readin those "self help 'put yourself out there' and win" type books agin?  

but seriously.. i think i have seen a small size heatpad that runs on 12v .. same type pad as in reptile/amphibian cages anyway .. reckon if you locate one online and order it .. wouldnt be too big of a drama to put a plug thingy on the bike to run the warmer.

That's actually perfect, I hadn't even thought of that. Rigging up a cig outlet is no problem. Good call
