Discover our heating products
When winter sets in in the Laurentians, braving the cold becomes a challenge for all snow sports enthusiasts. At Boutique des Sommets, we offer a complete line of heated products to ensure your comfort, whether you're skiing, snowboarding, or winter hiking. In this article, we explain the differences between heated options like the HotShot Kombi and the reusable Hot POC, and explore our specialty products such as heated mittens, gloves, socks, and jackets.
HotShot Kombi vs. Hot POC Reusables
HotShot Kombi: the practical disposable solution
Kombi’s HotShot are single-use disposable hand warmers. They are activated simply by contact with air, making them perfect for occasional outings. Slip them into your pockets or gloves to enjoy several hours of consistent warmth.
Advantages: Easy to carry, no preparation required.
Ideal for: A day of skiing or a short hike.
Hot POC Reusables: durable and eco-friendly
On the other hand, Hot POC reusables use a chemical solution that solidifies to generate heat. Once cooled, they can be reactivated by placing them in hot water.
Advantages: Reusable multiple times, a better eco-friendly alternative.
Ideal for: Regular users who want to reduce their environmental footprint.
