Hey guys I wanted to shoot a little something your way. I finally got a chance today to use my Modular Handwarmer Pouch from Kifaru. It's a moderately priced item ($39 for standard, plus $6 for a neck stap if you like.) For those not familiar with Kifaru they are IMHO the ESEE of the outdoors soft goods world. The MHWP is designed to mount to any piece of web gear, but most usefully on a chest rig/pouch. It anchors on either end of 8 rows and has a top and bottom attachment points so it will attach at the corners of an 8x5 section of PALS. The neck strap allows it to be used on its own quite well. (I actually use the neck strap as a waist strap. It works better for me.) The fill is combat Climashield. This stuff warms up in seconds after you put your hands in.
I had to use it today because I layered up with a rain shell on the outside due to weather. There was no good place to put my hands. The shell's pockets are uninsulated and cold. My pants pockets are up under the rain shell and I don't want cause for more water to get on my legs or hands. So I strapped my MHWP around my waist, cinched it up and off I went. It hung at a comfortable level and both hands remained warm and dry for my survival trip to Bravo Pizza for my survival lunch. (The survival bubbles in the Coke were survivaltastick!)
Anyhow, its a great little piece of kit for cold weather and wanted to share it with you.
God Bless,
Adam
