It is the transition from the liquid state to the solid state (crystallization) which releases heat during its transformation. Depending on the volume of the HotPoc, this varies  between 30 and 60 minutes.Click here to learn more.

1. Click on the metal disc to activate the heat
2. Enjoy the heat for 15 to 60 minutes
3. Boil 5 minutes or until the liquid becomes transparent again
4. Reuse up to 100 times!

Place your index fingers near the edge of the metal disc on the concave side, then place your thumbs in the center of the convex side and press firmly. You can lean it against your leg or knee for support. The goal is to flip the disc until you hear a small “click.” During the very first use, it is normal to have to click it several times before the heat is released.

Keep your reusable hand warmers in a small protective container. 

Yes! They are identical and work exactly the same. Only the design on the outside is different.

We designed two different formats to suit your different activities and needs. Our standard-sized HotPoc lasts 30 minutes and the HotPoc XL is known to last for 60 minutes. Whichever format you choose, it will definitely save you from taking a break in the chalet to warm up. In other words, you can enjoy the outdoors, without sacrificing your comfort. Please note that we are constantly improving our product in order to prolong the duration of the heat.

The standard HotPoc is approximately 8 x 9 cm, weighing in at 60 g. The format is therefore designed to fit into our mittens, our boots and our skates! Obviously, if your boots are very tight, it won’t fit.

When it comes to the HotPoc XL, it will not fit in your skates (unless you have inherited those from your big brother). It is 10 x 15 cm and weighs 230 g.

The temperature varies between 50 and 57 ° C. The product is therefore warm enough to provide the necessary comfort. It has very low risks associated with burns. The two places to avoid putting it directly on your skin are on your face and on your neck.

Please avoid placing the HotPoc on a baby, as its skin is much more sensitive.

Our heating solutions can last for up to 100 uses. As you get closer to the end of the product’s life, you’ll notice it becomes harder to boil and return it to a liquid state. If, after boiling, you still see a few crystals, just let it boil a bit longer until the liquid becomes completely clear again (rather than relying strictly on the 5 minutes indicated). Once you reach the point where it truly cannot be returned to a liquid state despite extended boiling, it is time to replace it with a new HotPoc.

Since the process is triggered by a simple disturbance of the molecules, it can start by itself. For this reason, we strongly recommended to keep your HotPoc pouches in a small protective container.

For our extreme adventurers, we recommend the HotPoc+ with its new patented technology that prevents involuntary vibration triggering.

The materials are very simple: flexible PVC filled with water and sodium.

HotPoc is committed to sourcing environmentally friendly materials, offsetting its carbon footprint and protecting the environment. We pledge to donate 1% of our annual income to organizations that share our mission and values.Click here to learn more.

When the HotPoc reaches the end of its life cycle, we highly recommend to cut open the pouch and empty the liquid in a sink. As the liquid of a combination of salt and water, it will not harm the environment. As for the plastic pouch, it will unfortunately have to be discarded. Please note, however, that we are working to improve this aspect and that it is part of our development priorities.

HotPoc uses a technology that is used in other industries such as military and health. We simply adapted the product to use it outdoors. This allows us to reduce our ecological footprint in order to continue skiing for the years to come.
