Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsDudes, I just found the neatest things to keep warm with this summer
I know I'm probably late to this, but the Zippo hand warmers are nice. I have a condition that turns my hands white as a corpse when they get just a little bit cold (handling a cup of iced tea or a frosted beer mug). I read where some people had used these things and let me tell you, they get warm. I bought 2 from Amazon for 12$ and will be buying more. My brother just moved to DC from SC and I know he could use one.
If you hadn't heard of them before, they work by slowly burning (no flame but a catalytic conversion) off zippo lighter fluid. You fill it with the juice and light it till it glows, then it gives off heat for up to 12 hours on a full tank.
