I ride a motorcycle in the cold. Does this get too hot (or too unpredictable) to put stationary inside my gloves for 1 hour continuously?

It wont get too hot, but hot enough to burn anything. This is a very safe and reliable product,and will keep your hands warm through any situation

I don't think it will fit inside your gloves. It is not unpredictable either. You fill it with zippo fluid and light it. There is no flame present but it is burning. Since there is fluid in it, you would not want to tip it over and let any fuel leak out. It works great in a coat pocket or in pants pocket while standing.

The hand warmer is rather large, larger than a pack of playing cards so fitting it inside your gloves and using the controls could be a challenge. It may fit inside a mitten style glove with your hand but every mitten is different.

Sorry, I can't help. I only use mine to keep my hands warm , for which I ordered a second one. Good luck , though.

I've recently used these gloves in the mid 20s F and I could definitely feels a minor chill. Later had a cold spell of 8 F with wind chill and my hands were freezing in less than 5 minutes. This was in NYC weather. I just bought lightweight primaloft gloves which handles the same 8 F and with less expense.

It's not for a long time. I'd say 20-30 min at high heat and another 15 warm. I couple these with the chemical ones.Hunting this winter I sat outside all day at 10 deg F. The chemical packets in my gloves and boots kept me most of the day exept the times where I had to use my hands more. Then I'd pop one of these out of my pocket and instantly get a rush of truly hot hands. Saved my fingers when I had to drag and dress my deer at sunset when it was below zero and no gloves on for about an hour.Edit: If kept in a pocket it's longer obviously.

I got mine because of the cold in the winter and the hot in the summer. It keeps the steering wheel from freezing my hands in the winter and burning my hands in the summer.

I rode to work in AM WHEN IT was COLD!!!! I WAS WARM inside the helmet!!! I had to lift the visor a tiny bit when it started to fog up. this IS MY FAVORITE helmet OF ALL MY helmets!!!!!!!! MY hands froze tho! :-) The insulation seems thick to me.

Yes, I was concerned about that too, because it is my fingertips that get very cold. These liner heat very quickly also. I wear gloves over the top because these are just liners. I use them on my ATV for snowplowing, and they work perfect. This is my first season with them, and they have held up great so far.

As a benchmark, you can hold hold a cast iron frying pan out of a 400 degree oven for maybe 10 seconds. That said, they work much better at lower temperatures. Sort of how your winter gloves are perfectly fine at minus 20, but not so fine at minus 40.Typical of cloth oven gloves and oven mitts: if they get wet or dirty, the insulating effects erode dramatically. Note that the gloves can be worn on either hand. I would argue that rubberized side is less insulating.

They will not keep hands comfortably warm if exposed to 10-20 degree weather for more than 15 minutes. I bought them for my wife to use during her commute to and from work. There are stand alone stick on pads called digits that you can apple to any gloves that will do the same thing.

I haven't used it yet in anything over 80 deg F yet. I've always used a batting glove in my mitt, so I haven't noticed much difference. There does seem to be a little slippage after warming up but I have yet to adjust my glove yet to see if that helps. I'll let you know when it gets hotter outside. Hope this helps.

No, the grip stays cool. I used for nearly an hour and the grip never got hot

We've had one of these for over a year--through the hottest of the summer and sub-freezing winter. I thought it would be unbearable in the winter. If you can hold your hands under cold running water then this is going to feel fine on your delicate parts!

If the wire is too hot to keep your finger/hand join it longer than 30 seconds, I think there is a problem.We have two of these heaters and I have never noticed this to occur. By the way, after dust does accumulate inside these heaters and vacuuming will not remove slot of it. AT LEAST once a year I use an airless to "blast out" the accumulated dust. This will keep them at their optimum performance.JM2C

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

It works really well-- it gets really hot. Because of my injury, I was told it's better to use ice unless I need to warm y shoulder up-- it gets warm after a minute or two.

Not at all! I have never had a problem. My water tank is set for 145 degrees. These gloves are of a heavier quality but are not bulky whatsoever .

Hi, I've already used for my bicycle, motorcycle and car. But, it was not made for frequent use and if it use continuously for more than 5 minutes, it will get hot.
