I know, I know, boring stuff, but ...
Is any brand significantly better or worse than any other please?
Thanks.

I quite like Twinings English breakfast.
But seriously, I've tried a few (not many) brands - I can't really say one is significantly better than any other. I just go for the cheapest on-line deal.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you pass by a Decathlon en route to les Alpes, there's a cheap brand called Aptonia. You can buy a job lot for the same price that you'll get a single pair in a ski hire shop.
All they are, really, is a teabag full of iron filings. Quite literally all brands are the same. Buy the cheapest.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I said it was boring!  Thanks, I just wondered as they all make different claims about how long they stay warm etc.

HelenS, my missus uses them all the time & reckons that the Mycoal ones last a lot longer than other brands - which is why I sell that brand

we got some in Boots for about 3 quid a pair. Once they go cold, you boil them to reactivate.

Thornyhill, that's not same thing. The ones you are talking about stay worm for hour at most, these one stay hot for 6, 7 hours... and yes these ones are one time use only.

The ones we have are good for about 3-4 hours if you have them in pockets/gloves. They do get cold quickly if you use them in the air. Only down side is that they go hard when you activate them. If you spend 5 minutes squashing them about they go soft again though. OH usually uses one pair in the morning, one in the afternoon.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

avoid the Grabber ones - they don't seem to get very warm compared to all the others...My vote also goes to the mycoal ones - currently £8.55 for 10 on amazon!!! Have Reynaud's so over the years have probably used most of them...

My Amazon order history linked to the above - the order I placed was for 15.99, so they've gone up.
Same thing were 3E a pair in Arabba so still cheaper than per pair in resort (and I'd have bought them at 10E a pair it was so cold)
I've used them at home at footy matches & photo shoots too.
Good spot in Coscto though.

Keep those nips warm till the camera's ready for them eh?
Nice to know the modelling career is taking off at last though.
