Heat pads are the simplest answer to cold hands and feet: open the pack, take out the pad and within a few minutes it warms up. The heat pads from The HEAT Company contain iron powder, activated carbon, vermiculite, salt and water. When the mixture comes into contact with oxygen, the iron oxidises and releases even warmth – for 8 to 24 hours depending on the type.
At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find hand warmers for gloves and jacket pockets, toe and sole warmers for your shoes, self-adhesive body and back warmers and a warming belt. Unopened, the pads keep for several years – handy for your backpack, car and emergency supplies.
The Heat hand warmer comes as a pair and lasts around 12 hours. The hand warmer XL is larger and gives off warmth for up to 24 hours – the right choice for long days on the slopes, in the hide or at the stadium. Both need a semi-enclosed space such as a glove, jacket or trouser pocket and reach full warmth after about 30 minutes. See all models under hand warmers.
The toe warmer is extra thin and sticks to the outside underside of your sock – 8 hours of warm toes, even in ski boots. The sole warmer warms the entire sole of your foot: place it in the shoe with the fabric side up; available in four sizes. The adhesive sole warmer sticks to the underside of your sock and does not slip – ideal when you move a lot, for example skiing or snowshoeing. If you stand still for long periods, the insole is the better choice. Toe and sole warmers are designed for use inside shoes only. Overview: toe and sole warmers.
The body warmer sticks to your base layer and stays warm for 12 hours. For your back there is the back warmer XL in a box of 3, measuring 20 × 13 cm with 18 hours of warmth. The warming belt with four heat cells stays firmly in place thanks to its hook-and-loop fastener and warms for over 12 hours. All versions: body warmers.
The Heat emergency pack weighs under 150 g and combines an aluminium rescue blanket (220 × 160 cm, gold/silver) with a multi warmer that lasts 20 hours. In the cold, the silver side faces the body; as a sun shield it faces outwards. It fits in any backpack and in the car.
Some gloves from The HEAT Company have an extra pocket that holds the hand warmer XL. More cold-weather categories: heated insoles, heat patches and shipping warmers.

A few simple rules help you get the full warming time and protect your skin:
Heat pads help wherever you spend a long time outdoors in autumn and winter without moving much:
Swiss-Sale.ch is an official Swiss dealer of The HEAT Company. The warmers are usually in stock in Menzingen; if an item is not available, the shop shows «sold out» or a longer delivery time. Collection or viewing by appointment. You will find all warmers from the brand in the The HEAT Company filter.
Heat pads contain iron powder, activated carbon, vermiculite, salt and water. As soon as you open the pack, the iron reacts with the oxygen in the air and releases heat – without power, batteries or a flame.
The hand warmer lasts around 12 hours, the hand warmer XL up to 24 hours. Toe and sole warmers last 8 hours, the body warmer and warming belt 12 hours, the back warmer XL 18 hours and the multi warmer in the emergency pack 20 hours. How quickly and how long a pad warms depends on the oxygen in its surroundings.
A heat pad cannot be recharged. You can pause it, though: sealed airtight, for example in a tight zip bag, the reaction stops and the pad continues to warm later. This does not extend the total warming time.
Not when used correctly. Stick body and back warmers to your base layer, never directly on the skin, and do not press heat pads firmly against your body, not even while sleeping. Otherwise, according to the manufacturer, minor burns are possible. Children should only use heat pads under supervision, toddlers and babies not at all.
The toe warmer is a small, extra-thin pad that you stick to the underside of your sock; it mainly warms your toes. The sole warmer is shaped like an insole and warms the entire sole of your foot. It comes as an insert in four sizes and as an adhesive version in two sizes.
The heat is only produced with enough oxygen. Put hand and multi warmers in a semi-enclosed space such as your jacket pocket for a few minutes, ideally two pads together. Toe and sole warmers, on the other hand, are made for the low-oxygen environment inside shoes.
Unopened, the heat pads from The HEAT Company keep for several years. That makes them well suited to emergency supplies in the car, backpack or first-aid kit.
According to The HEAT Company, the heat pads can be carried on planes. Still, check with your airline before you travel.
