Okay - we don't have a ton of need for these down in the valley, but the idea is still pretty darned cooll

Gloves with an exhale port built in.

Essentially it allows you to exhale a nice burst of warm air into your gloves through a one-way port to warm those frozen digits.

A pretty cool idea if nothing else.

Ive seen these, although I wondered since you are blowing moist air into them and moisture is the number one culprit for heat loss, (exceeding plain air, anyway) would they be valuable? or just a gimmick? what do you think?

It will work but to what degree???

In Michigan, we constantly used that strategy when hands were chilly...but it doesn't make much of a difference in EXTREME cold.... Merry Christmas

I'd have to say it's a way cool idea.

Note that when it's really cold out it's normaly really dry too, so moisture isn't a big problem because they are also breathable.
