Keep Your Hands Extra Toasty With Your Breath! By crunkyjens on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
When I went to college at Michigan State University it was pretty much a given that I would be walking to class in the midst of blizzards, rain, sleet, etc; all that yucky stuff. Keeping your hands in your pocket can only protect them so much so I knew I needed to get a good pair of gloves.
My family and I were in Dick's Sporting Goods shopping for some warm weather clothes and I came across the Gorgonz Exhale 180* Gloves. I immediatly knew these were the gloves I needed to get. Exhale 180* are not your normal winter gloves and are very unique. I've never seen a pair of gloves like them before. On the top of the glove there is a little flap and underneath that flap is a little "port." All you have to do is just blow air into the port and it funnels your warm breath into your glove and immediately surrounds your hand with warmth. How cool is that?! The gloves came in the normal sizes, S-XL and were basic black and gray in color. Despite the steep price for a pair of gloves my parents agreed that these would probably be the best gloves to have.
So let's fast forward to the real first snowstorm of the Spring semester. (Funny it's called a Spring semester yet most of it is in the Winter, lol). As I walked to class I blew into both of my gloves when my hands started to get cold and couldn't believe it. They really warmed up and I could really feel the warm air from my breath! Each blow kept my hands warm for a few minutes and then I would have to blow into them again. Which wasn't bad considering I wasn't going to run out of any hot air in my lungs anytime soon! :o)
If you live up North, go hunting, or do anything outside in the snow or cold weather then I would really consider these gloves. They certainly do the job and they are definitely very unique and I can assure you your friends will be jealous of your warm hands!

These are the neatest pair of gloves I have ever heard about. My husband needs a pair of these. He is in the USARMY band at West Point and they play for all the fall football games and also the Army Navy Game which is in the dead of winter. His hands are always getting cold therefore these gloves seem like they would do the trick. I will have to look for them and get a pair for each of us. Our sons would probably love a pair of them also. I love the fact that you can blow air into the gloves and rewarm your hands.! Thanks for the helpful information! Nice job!
I love the idea of taking something we do anyway (blowing warm air into our hands to warm them up) and turning it into an actual piece of clothing that helps warm up your hands! Awesome gloves - if we ever move back to colder weather, I'll definately consider these.
Wow, never heard of these, but they are on my list for next winter. My hands are always the first thing to get cold. Thanks.
What a novel idea-why didn't I think about this?! We needed it this winter here in Michigan (some of our relatives went to State!) but now I don't even want to look at gloves since the weather is so nice!! I will tell my husband about these gloves!
Never heard of this, but it sounds interesting!
Wow! These gloves sound fantabulous! I am going to have to remember about these when gloves go back on the shelves as my son could definitely use a pair of these!
My husband would love to have these. His hands always get super cold in the winter time. I will have to see if they have these still in the stores now. If not it will be a first on the list of things to buy before winter comes around again.
How cool! It does not get that cold here, but my hands are always freezing. Maybe I should get a pair to wear in the office when the A/C is on !
What a great idea for those cold football games!!! Thanks :)
These gloves are truly innovative! The perfect solution.
