I'm a fan. I've had my toes go numb/white too many times, and I'm over it.

Combined with heated socks, toes were fine when things were lower than -25, although I got a couple spots on my heels going.

Tried hand warming chem packs under Boot Gloves last season...no go....chemical reaction needs oxygen/air to produce heat...under Boot Glove the packs never had enough air to produce heat...wonder the same about the new ones with "built in pouches"

I used mine that way today when it was 5F this morning. It works just well enough to be worth doing. The best thing is I can feel my feet warm up before I head outside. IME it's way more effective than you would think.

Maybe they were dead? There’s more air there than inside the boot.

Worth it for the $25.00 that they cost. Buys a few degrees. Useless if you are off your skis a lot.
