Powerpaw 600 rechargeable hand warmer

Kickstarter:

Introducing the first IPX7 Waterproof Rechargeable Hand Warmer, the POWERPAW – the next essential piece of gear to warm up your adventure! Say goodbye to loading up on disposable warmers. The rechargeable technology allows you to cut down on waste and always have heat on hand.

Portable rechargeable hand warmers are nothing new. There are many on Amazon priced between USD 20 to USD 30, including this one by PooLuck (I kid you not).

So what’s the selling point of the Powerpaw 600? It claims to be “the first IPX7 Waterproof Rechargeable Hand Warmer” compared to others in the market that have a lower weatherproof rating. Do you find yourself dropping your hand warmer into water or sand too often for your liking? Then Powerpaw is for you.

It costs USD 39 during Kickstarter and will retail at USD 50. Are you willing to pay a third to double the price of a usual hand warmer for that extra IPX rating? You know your use case best.

For me, my smartphone and power bank heat up enough to keep my hand warm, so I’m not in the market for this. I’m more interested in a portable cooler but the Kickstarter campaigns we’ve written about seem to be scams.
