Benefits of technology

The invention is a hand warmer pouch that has a soft and flexible outer shell made of a water-resistant fabric. The pouch has an insulation layer made of a high-loft fiber material that traps air and retains body heat. The ends of the belt can be securely attached to the pouch with a rubber or silicone material, which grips clothing. The pouch also has a pocket that can be closed with a waterproof zipper. The hand warmer pouch provides warmth and protection without adding bulk or weight to the wearer's movements. It is lightweight, weather-proof, and provides a thermal barrier against cold and wind.

Problems solved by technology

The above described patents have the shortcoming of extending a distance from the user and having a bulky shape which is not desirable during active sporting or outdoor activities.
