[Canadian Tire] Celestron Elements ThermoCharge Hand Warmer/USB Power Bank

Deal Link:: http://399-9783-4
Price:: 24.99
Retailer:: Canadian Tire

More offers from Canadian Tire

I noticed Canadian Tire had these in their fall catalog of outdoor items. They're very slowly coming in to stock at my local stores - seems like the shipments arrived very late as the outdoors catalog came out last month.

The price seems right - similar ones from the same brand are $59.99-$69.99 at MEC. Generic Chinese ones on Amazon are priced higher than this one.

This hand warmer definitely looks durable, but not so comfortable to carry and hold, maybe. Charges via mini-USB. I stopped using those cables years ago, except for the odd old device that still needs it. That's enough of a dealbreaker for me, would rather not have to carry an extra cable just for this one device.

Found this on Amazon, has a larger capacity and uses USB-C. Doesn't look as durable/rugged though if you need that.

Gets an F on fakespot though.

I've heard bad things about this in my astronomy circles.

Hell, even my other celestron products have been pretty cheaply made (red flashlight, battery pack, etc )

The mini USB charging is sketchy AF. It does include a pouch so you can keep the supplied cable with the hand warmer!

Normally before buying anything at CT I search amazon - I liked the looks of this one over the amazon offerings.

I have an identical one with a different brand, that i bought a year ago. in the teal color. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Kept my hands warm. Although at -30 or colder it doesn't really make a difference.
