In case you haven't noticed, it is ruddy freezing outside.
With winter taking its toll on countries all over the world, many of us are looking for the best solutions to keep warm. Despite the fact the heating is cranked up and I'm sat here in multiple layers, my hands are still cold - and I know it's an issue many of us are subjected to.
Per Medical News Today, it is common for our hands and feet to remain colder than the rest of our bodies in cooler temperates because "when the body enters a colder area, blood vessels in the extremities, such as the hands and feet, will constrict. This reduces the blood flow to these areas, which also reduces the amount of heat the body loses."
So, what's the best way to combat cold hands? Well, an Amazon store by the name of Yinuoday may have the perfect solution.
Introducing their Unisex Women's & Men's USB Heated Gloves (or to give them their full name, the "Unisex Women's & Men's USB Heated Gloves Mitten Winter Hands Warm Laptop Gloves, Yinuoday Full & Half Heated Fingerless Heating Knitting Hands Warmer Washable Design" - always hit your keywords.)
These unique winter warmers make look like ordinary knitted gloves, but they come with a USB 5V port that you can plug them into your laptop, power bank, car adapter, or whatever.
The heating pads inside the gloves cover both your palm and the back of your hand at the same time, and are made from infrared carbon fiber, which is not only durable but heats up in no time!

One five-star reviewer writes: "I received these gloves today. I immediately plugged them into a portable charger with a [USB] port. They began to warm up right away. These gloves get warm enough to keep your hands warm, but not so hot as to burn you. I love these! 10/10 would purchase again!"
Another happy customer writes: "I have RA [rheumatoid arthritis] and my hands kill me through the day at work. This ingenious idea has brought comfort to my weary hands."
