Koolpak Luxury Reusable Hot & Cold Gel Pack Large (12 x 29cm) with Non-Woven Sleeve - Twin Set

These are some fab hot and cold packs, I've tried other ones from supermarkets that have beads inside but they are a little useless when it comes to staying cold, they also tend to be scented which is not what you want when you need a cold pack! This is great when you or your family have a fever, a headache, an injury which needs icing, etc, or a pain which needs heat to help ease it. The pack freezes very quickly in around an hour or two, it then stays cold for at least 2-3 hours, maybe longer. It does come out of the freezer very hard and not flexible, but moving it around with your hands quickly makes it break up a little and becomes flexible, allowing you to mould it round the body part that requires the cold. It also heats up very quickly and stays hot for a considerable amount of time, however I bought these more as cold packs and therefore know more about using them cold. The sleeve is useful as this means the pack is not directly on your skin, however it reality it is still extremely cold with the sleeve. We have been wrapping it in an old shirt, over the sleeve, when first used to take some of the cold away. After about half an hour, it's fine with just the sleeve. Maybe we have a super cold freezer though! I definitely recommend this and think I will be buying another couple when I have the funds, I can then have two in the freezer at all times and two ready to be heated. I really do recommend these and they are a great price, considering that you get two packs.

These arrived within 48 hours of delivery. Well packed. I placed them in the freezer and they froze very quickly. Upon using I placed them in the sleeves provided but you may wish to use something else too to protect your skin from possible burn. They worked great I liked how I could bend and shape them to the part I wished to cool down. It states They should only be used for 20 mins, but I had a large area so didn't rest on one part for that long as I kept moving and I must say it stayed cold for quite some time defo more than 20 mins. Note be careful once they do come out due to hot/cold condensation you might get a bit of water dripping .the pack isn't leaking it's just as I said a natural effect of condensation. Highly recommended and very well made.

Very good quality

These are great for isolating specific injuries or areas of soreness. You can leave them in the provided sleeves for a super-freeze, which I like, or double it up with a T-shirt or piece of clothing. I use them over my shoulders to help treat reoccurring rotator cuff tendonitis and also on the elbow joint for tennis elbow. If I have been to the gym in the evening I sometimes lie one down the length of the quads on each leg in order to help cool them down before bed - I sometimes have trouble sleeping if my legs are feeling well worn and I'll get restless legs and start clashing them together like seal flippers in the night. These help a lot with that, as well as a cool shower. They take a small amount of melting when you get them out of the freezer initially as you won't be able to bend them properly when fully frozen. I would say, BE CAREFUL not to force them to bend too much when they're still frozen, this can cause them to split and you'll be covered in bloody embryonic alien gunk which is no doubt harmful. I've previously had the larger square koolpaks which felt great to really cool down the whole shoulder area but often felt wasted as they were harder to contour to the body - once slightly melted though it felt like a big friendly ice cold jellyfish. I tend to lay on my side or back and weigh them down with a water bottle to make them more effective. All in all - many, many times more effective than those useless refillable ice bladder type things. Would recommend.

These are great frozen or heated, I like these so much i have bought them for a friend. When stored in the freezer you can use the cover or a tea towel to protect your skin from freezer burns. They are frozen yet slightly flexible to bend around your neck and soon become slightly defrosted to wrap around perhaps your wrist but still stay very cold. When heated the pack also fits into the cover or a tea towel to protect your skin. I find it stays quite warm for a while after losing what seems a small amount of heat. I have bought spares for keeping in the freezer due to migraines (back of neck relief) and joint issues I need a couple of frozen packs waiting. So much better than ice cubes -no water, messing about when your ill and no waste.

These Koolpaks are great for treating so many issues. I recently tripped whilst running and sprained my ankle. It's quite badly bruised so I used our existing cool packs (the rigid blue plastic kind) but could not really get contact where I needed it because of my ankle bone. My parents recommended these Koolpaks and they have not disappointed. Some of the benefits of these Koolpak's: - The packs are made of a soft coated nylon which allows the pack to be moulded around injuries unlike the hard plastic packs. - Comes with a thin non-woven sleeve allowing you to use without wrapping in a cloth and providing closer contact. - Great value for money - 2 Koolpaks and sleeves for a few quid each! - Can be used as a heatpak in the microwave (instructions listed on the back of the Koolpaks). I have seen some other reviews who state the sleeve does not look genuine. The sleeves I received look like those on the official Koolpak website so no issues here! Personally I think this is a great product at a very good price and have no issues recommended it!

Sólo lo use de frío, y va bien. Lo difícil es limpiarlo si se mancha

ottimo prodotto, utilizzato per molto tempo in aiuto alla terapia del ginocchio. durevole e ben fatto, fare solo attenzione a non piegarlo con troppa forza quando è completamente freddo per non rovinare le sigillature.

Pack acheté après une opération au ménisque. Je trouve que taille est adaptée au genou qu'il épouse parfaitement et qu'il est idéal pour soulager l'inflammation. Rentre bien au congélateur et conserve le froid assez longtemps. Je place un tissu dessous pour éviter le contact du pack avec la peau. Cela fait maintenant 2 ans que je l'utilise par exemple après une randonnée.

très satisfait, la bonne grandeur, comme chez mon kinésithérapeute, marche très bien dans le micro ondes, vraiment à conseiller à toutes les personnes qui ont besoin de chaud ou froid merci

Tres satisfaite dès la première utilisation. Poche refroidie en 2 heures. Grande taille idéale pour blessure au genou. Je recommande. Egalement au niveau qualité prix
