“Disappointed”

“Buying this product was kind of an experiment. I am a 63 year male in good health with low-normal blood pressure, so I get cold fingers. This was a great deal on sale but the reality did not pan out. [...]My decision - buy the chemical hot pads. They are lighter, have a good 1 day finite life and are uber-reliable. These gloves take 6xAA batteries = $2.50-$3.00 for a days usage and are unreliable. The heating element is OUTSIDE the thinsulite insullation, so 1/2 of the energy is used to heat the outside air. The batteries are heavy and even the good ones (Duracell)work poorly in the cold. I went out on an 8-12F degree day and my finger tips were very cold. Used them for 2.5 hrs. Then I tried again another day (25F) for two hrs. The batteries died after one hour and my fingers were still cold. My opinion - they need a lithium ion battery pack (rechargable) and they need to put the heater elements INSIDE the Thinsulite or within two layers of the Thinsulite. save U'r $.”
