Army wants to eliminate hands in pockets by warming fingers, toes

SHARE OF THE DAY

The Army hates it when soldiers have their hands their pockets. Sometimes, however, your fingers simply get cold.

Gloves might seem like a simple solution. But for a soldier, it’s not always feasible to wear them in combat. Mittens can eliminate dexterity anywhere between 50 and 80 percent. So the Army found a way to heat soldier’s forearms, generate better circulation and keep those digits moving: a forearm heater.
