Zippo's Hand Warmer Prevents Your Limbs from Freezing

Zippo is one of the best-known brands (if not THE best known) of lighters on the market, the company's products becoming, over time, prized possessions for all smokers out there, due to their very cool design and reliability. However, the company has expanded its product line-up and one of the most interesting devices announced lately is the Hand Warmer, a device that uses Zippo technology in order to keep the users' hands warm even in the coldest winters.

The device from Zippo is based around a platinum-catalyzed glass fiber burner, which offers quick and sure lighting. The burner is lighted by a normal lighter (well, Zippo lighter, of course) and then the cap is closed, which means that the user won't come in direct contact with the user. Thus, this special technology allows the Hand Warmer to generate a radiant heat without the flame, thus seriously reducing the risk of burns.

Although it's rather small, the portable heating device from Zippo packs quite a punch. Thus, according to the company, the Hand Warmer produces more than 10 times as much heat as most disposable warmers. Furthermore, it has quite a high efficiency level, since it can provide warmth for up to 24 hours with a very small amount of fuel, namely around 11.82 milliliters (0.4 ounces).

Another important feature of the Hand Warmer is the fact that it's environmentally-friendly, since the whole contraption is reusable (except for the burner) and practically pollution free. Moreover, its very small size and thin profile make quite easy to carry around, fitting perfectly into pockets, gloves or pants.

The Hand Warmer from Zippo retails for around 30 US dollars, which is actually a pretty affordable price to pay for such an item, whether you're a hardcore Zippo fan looking to add yet another item to your collection or a normal person looking for something that will keep your hand warm during the cold winter days.
