Hand Warmer?

Few weeks ago we got the remains of a tropical storm with a cold and windy rain I mean lots of rain. The athletic director told my linesman about 10 minutes before the game he wished he had cancelled (too late!).

I wore layers. A cotton thermal shirt. Covered by an Under Armour Cold Gear Shirt. Topped off with a Gore Tex uniform shirt.

Below the waist my usual swimming trunks with the usual white shorts in order to hide the stripes of the uniform shirt. The knickers were the Gore Tex lined ones.

The two problem areas were the feet, the socks and shoes got wet, and hands. Changed socks at halftime but only had a single pair of dry shoes -- had an earlier game that took out the other pair.

The biggest problem was gloves. I used Under Armour receiver gloves that kept my hands dry but cold.

Wondering if the Under Armour Hand Warmer pouch is worth the $59.99 to keep the hands warm?
