Monoprice 3-in-1 LED Light, Hand Warmer and Battery Backup
What it is: What makes this multipurpose travel gizmo unique are the two aluminum hand-warmer plates on the top and bottom. It also has four LED lights for a bright flashlight that can blink, in case you need to signal someone that you've fallen off a cliff. And lastly, it's a backup power source for your tech goodies that charge via USB port. Fully charging the device itself takes about three hours.The good: Combining all three into one device makes this a winner for anyone traveling in cold-weather climes or who simply wants something to ward off a chill. Also, at 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, it's not going to rob you of packing space. As a camper, I could see dropping this into the bottom of a sleeping bag on a cold night, just to make my feet toasty.The bad: The high heat setting can be uncomfortably hot if the device is against skin, so I just kept it on the lower setting.Cost: $22Get it: at monoprice.com-- Ross Werland, Chicago TribuneHave more to add?
