The Best Winter Golf Hand Warmers

Article Updated in November 2022

Hand warmers are legal in the game of golf and they hold the potential to be one of the savviest bits of kit for usage on the course. We are all aware that playing golf in the winter can sometimes be unenjoyable - largely thanks to the unpredictability of the Great British weather. However, hand warmers can help keep you warm between shots, which should allow you to feel more comfortable in the swing. We have complied a list of ten great hand warmers that you should consider purchasing this winter.

Hand warmers are not typically associated with the game of golf but once the weather takes a turn for the worst, you’ll be wondering how you ever played winter golf without them. There aren’t too many hand warming products related to golf so don’t be afraid to buy from a retailer that does not have a background in the sport.
