Pocket (portable) heating pad

Compactness and the possibility of using additional options to the main functionality are the main pluses of this gadget. There are both simple variants and advanced ones. The first contain salt and a special solution – sodium acetate. They are heated to 55 degrees Celsius and keep warm for up to three hours.

More complex models are electric warmers. They are similar to portable phone chargers, and sometimes can even replace them. These warmers are charged by electricity for about four hours, after which heat is emitted. The device operates in about the same range – 50 to 60 degrees. However, the temperature holds for up to eight to nine hours.

You can use the gadget at your discretion. For example, moving it from one pocket to another, you will warm your palms during a walk. You can also apply the warmer to frozen cheeks or nose – it will also be pleasant. Some models have a built-in flashlight function.

Thermal Mug

During a winter walk it is very pleasant to drink a cup of hot coffee or tea. Especially in a snowy park or on an open-air ice rink. To realize such plans you do not need to run to the nearest coffee shop. It is enough to arm yourself with a thermal mug. It is compact and light, so it is convenient to take it with you. The advantages do not end there.

Thickened or double walls allow the drink to stay hot for a long time. The hermetic valve firmly closes the mug to avoid unpleasant consequences. And a special hole on the lid prevents the liquid from spilling out. Motorists will also appreciate the usefulness of the thermos mug.

Electric insoles

In frosty weather your feet are the first to freeze. Sometimes even the warmest fur boots or modern felt boots can’t save you. In such cases, electric thermal insoles can be a good solution. They come in two types: wired and wireless (depending on where the power source is located).

The first ones look like ordinary insoles, but work from a battery or a battery pack with batteries that are attached to the shin. However, this device has a minus. The presence of additional structures sometimes causes discomfort when walking.

Wireless thermal insoles are a little thicker, since there is a heating element inside. They are charged from an ordinary outlet or an external battery. The main advantage is the ability to adjust the temperature with a compact remote control. It is within the range of 40 to 60 degrees Celsius. Charge is usually enough for five to seven hours of active use.

Quality thermal insoles are made of a special waterproof “breathable” material. This allows you to feel comfortable and dry feet throughout the entire walk and any physical activity.

Portable charging stations

How long can you stay outdoors without your smartphone? Most likely, when it runs out of battery, the walk will be over. Since this happens much faster in the cold, it is worth buying a gadget for your gadget!

It’s about a capacious portable charging station. By the way, it will come in handy not only for a smartphone. The station charges and allows you to use any devices that work from the network. For example, an electric kettle.
