What temperature are HotHands?

Published in Hand Warmer Temperatures 1 min read

HotHands reach an average temperature of 127 °F (53 °C) and a maximum temperature of 154 °F (68 °C).


These hand warmers are designed to provide heat for several hours through a chemical reaction. Here's a breakdown of their key temperature characteristics:

Feature Temperature
Average Temp 127 °F (53 °C)
Maximum Temp 154 °F (68 °C)


The heat generated is from the oxidation process of the ingredients. Here's what's inside a HotHands warmer:

  • Iron: The primary material that oxidizes to produce heat.
  • Water: Acts as a catalyst to begin the oxidation process.
  • Cellulose: A filler material that provides structure.
  • Activated Carbon: Helps to distribute heat evenly.
  • Salt: A catalyst that promotes oxidation.


The combination of these elements allows HotHands to be effective and relatively safe for providing warmth, with an average temperature sufficient to keep your hands warm in cold conditions. HotHands are made in the USA.
