The heat packs featured on this page are designed for the BITTEN.
For Personal heat packs, please see Hot Hands-2 & Toasti Toes.
Reusable Heat Pack Overview:
The reusable heat pack is one of the two heat pack options we offer for the BITTEN. It allows you to reuse the heat pack multiple times without the expense of purchasing additional heat packs.
The heat pack contains a non-toxic space age sodium acetate solution that is in a vinyl pouch. The heat pack is activated by clicking a small internal metal disc. The pack quickly warms and lasts for approximately 30 minutes. It can be recharged by boiling it in water.
Using them in the Bitten:
Keep your reusable heat packs in the house or warm area. Toss one in your pocket before going out to prepare your horse for riding. Insert one of the heat packs into one of Bitten’s inner pockets. Click the disc in the heat pack, knead the pack until it starts to warm and wrap the Bitten around the bit. Two packs can be used in the Bitten to generate more heat on extra cold days.
After you finish saddling your horse, remove the bit from the BITTEN - it will be nice and warm, and ready to insert into your horse’s mouth.
Be sure to save the pack so you can recharge it for next time (see the instructions listed below).
Recharging Instructions:
To re-liquefy, boil in water for 10 minutes or until it is totally clear liquid. Pack must be completely cooled prior to reactivating (you can run cold water over the pack for quicker cooling).
You can boil several packs at one time so that you always have a pack ready to go. Once you have recharged the heat packs they will stay charged until the disc is clicked.
Note – For best results, they should be stored at room temperature in order to receive full heating capacity. Keeping it in your coat pocket until you use it is a great way to make sure that it generates the maximum amount of heat.
