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. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

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? _________________ http://www.arizonahikers.com/board/albums/albwb18/BRIDGE.sized.jpg

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.... _________________ All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them...Walt Disney |

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. _________________
