kawako pocket warmers – set of 8, round, reusable

An icy morning, the walk to school or a long wait at the bus stop – and your fingers go numb. With these round hand warmers from Kawako, you can simply carry warmth in your coat pocket: click the metal disc once and the heat pad becomes noticeably warm. Eight warmers in eight colours, just right for getting your whole family through the cold season.

What changes for you

• You have warm hands on the go whenever you need them – one click of the metal disc inside is all it takes, and the warmth kicks in straight away.
• You don't need a socket or batteries – the sodium acetate gel filling produces heat without any power source at all.
• You don't have to throw anything away after your winter walk – a quick boil makes each hand warmer reusable, up to 500 times.
• You can give everyone in the family their own colour – eight different shades in the set mean no more mix-ups.
• You won't be lugging anything bulky around – at around 100 mm in diameter, the heat pad fits into any coat or trouser pocket.

Why these hand warmers make a difference every day

Cold fingers can quickly turn a lovely winter's day into a miserable one. With a little source of warmth in your pocket, you can head out more relaxed – whether on your commute, watching from the sidelines at the football pitch or at the Christmas market. Instead of tucking your hands into your sleeves, just reach into your pocket and you'll have a warm cushion in your hand right away.

Material & finish

Inside is a gel filling with sodium acetate – a substance approved as food additive E262 and completely harmless. The transparent outer material lets the colour shine through and carries the Kawako print. The warmth builds up quickly, lasts a long time and reaches up to 50 °C; gently kneading the pad after activating it extends the warming phase even further. The hand warmers are maintenance-free – apart from the occasional boil, there's nothing you need to do.

How to use the hand warmers

• On the way to school or work: one pad in each coat pocket – and you'll arrive with warm hands instead of numb fingers.
• On a winter walk or sledging: a quick click, a quick knead – and the children last longer because their fingers stay warm.
• At your desk or on the sofa: as a small heat pad in between, when your hands have gone stiff in a cold office or while working from home.
• For market stalls, delivery services or field work: if you work outdoors in winter, the set of 8 gives you warmth to hand for several days or several colleagues – no electricity, no fuss.
• Our tip before first use: Boil the pocket warmers once before using them for the first time. That way you'll get the maximum warming phase right from the start.
• Our tip for on the go: If you can't boil them during the day, simply boil the pads briefly in the morning just before you leave and use the residual warmth without activating them. That saves the activation for your way home – and you get to enjoy the warmth twice.

Good to know about sodium acetate

Sodium acetate is approved as food additive E262 and is used, for example, as an acidity regulator in many tinned fruits, vegetables, fish and salads. That's exactly why you can tuck the hand warmers into children's coats, school bags and the glove compartment without worry – the filling is harmless.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: once the filling has gone solid after use, simply boil the hand warmer briefly – and it's ready to use again, up to 500 times. No changing or charging batteries at all; the set is maintenance-free.
