disposable handwarmers (UK)
 

Without giving any opinions on the environmentally friendliness of these items (anyone know?), just thought some might find these useful.

We bought these Disposable Pocket/Hand Warmers in Blacks (a UK outdoor shop) for £1.49 a pair. You take them out of their plastic packets and shake them to activate them. They gave good heat for an incredible 8 hours. Small, light, clean and cheap(-ish).

Excellent. Do they fit in your gloves?

I have used these things in my gloves while skiing. They work pretty well, but have to be in the palm of your hand to be effective...this may be a bit bulky when gripping the bars.
