Resters Choice Ice Pack for Injuries Reusable - (Standard Large: 11x14.5) for Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back - Hot & Cold Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery - Heat & Cold Therapy

5/1/2023 Update #2: These continue to hold up well and have been used more then the normal person would use them. To say they get cold is an understatement, and they hold their cold for a long time. Most people dont ice all day every day, but often I have to. They do the trick! I would not hesitate to buy them again. 10/17/2022 update: I contacted the company about the one pack that was leaking. They were a little slow in responding, but they did apologize for that. They sent a new pack right away, and this one seems fine so far. I absolutely would recommend these packs. And kudos to the company for not hesitating to set things right. 9/27/2022 contacted the company several days ago about this product, and have yet to heard anything back. 9/21/2022 I have now had this product for 10 days. It still works wonderfully, but what I noticed last night is one package (I have not been able to inspect the second one thoroughly), actually has two little cuts(?) towards one of the bindings. That means as the pack thaws, the gel oozes out. Im in Ortho rehab so Its not exactly convenient to buy products let alone send them back and my husband threw away the box already.(Its not a box youd actually keep around normally) I really do like this product. And I may be able to fix the bag once I am with weight bearing again. Just please inspect your bags thoroughly before you throw your box away. Being in the mix of things medically speaking, I didnt look at them overly close and my husband just tossed them in the freezer. Hopefully, I will find that these hold up a very long time. I have more ice packs than the normal person and Ive never had this occur before. Some of them, are a good 15 years old. I just normally buy them off the shelf at Walmart though vs buying online. I hope this is just a freak thing for them. WOW! I am so impressed! Who knew there was a really great ice pack out there! Not only was it priced reasonably, but it only takes about 2 hours to get cold! That is a huge bonus when you have to ice for weeks, and many times a day! Not only that, is the cold lasts a LONG time! When you are recovering from surgery, that saves a lot of strength in getting up and down for a fresh pack! It is flexible to fit around my hip. I wish had these years ago!! They also look like they are made very well, which means they will last for a long time!! Thats a big deal for those of use with lots of ortho issues! Dont hesitate to but these! AND NO...I didnt get them free. I paid full price.

My husband suffers from sciatic pain and had used our old, chiropractor gifted ice pack to the point of no return. We went to a chain drugstore and found one that was half the size of this one and made out of plastic for DOUBLE the price. I found this one on Amazon and it arrived in ONE DAY. We were both impressed at how nice this item is. It is large enough to treat the entire lower back area at once. It is flexible and covered in a very durable (it seems) but soft material. Once frozen for the initial recommended 2 hours it remains flexible enough to wrap around a leg or arm if needed. Really a very very nice ice pack at a wonderful price.

The ice packs are well made. They freeze in two hours. I use them nightly for restless leg syndrome. They are flexible when frozen and can also be heated in the microwave. I hope that they last a long time.

I have been able to heat and cool these with out a problem... I lay them both flat when I do. but just like all frozen things... be careful molding it or moving etc... because things are fragile when cold. but so far so good.

This is an excellent gel pack with only one flaw. Its too heavy. The heaviness is not comfortable to put on an joint that was recently operated on. The gel pack is good just a little to heavy.

This product arrived on time and securely packed. I used it today for the first time after a hard session on my bike. It worked really well and having been in my freezer overnight, it was COLD and helped my old, battered muscles very much. Despite being in the freezer, it retained its shape and was very easy to use. I have yet to use it as a heating pad but I have a separate and larger hear pad for that purpose. It was also a decent price and I would recommend it to any in need of very effective ice packs.

I bought one of these before and then I ordered two additional for my back injury. Then my wife dropped a hammer on her foot and it helped to prevent additional swelling and bruising. They stay cold for about 1-2 hours and will stay warm to hot for about 1 hour. This product is truly amazingly built to help meet your comfort needs. I encourage others to also by this product. They also come in multiple sizes from ones that fit the neck, whole back and smaller one that fits other extremities. I the smaller extremity and the neck comes in 1-2 packs and the large is only available in a one pack. I wish they had an option for a two pack just like the others for the whole body.

Seems to be well made and capable of doing what it is designed for. So far, have only used it for post exercise cold compress and it is very cold indeed. I did only 4 stars and 3 for ease of use because when unpacked one of the 3 sections had no gel. Thankfully the section separations are partial so, although very challenging, I was able to push gel into the empty section. I am beginning therapy for a broken arm and have use of only one hand, that is the left one, mostly unused prior to now needing to do everything on its own. So would be nice if these arrived with the gel where it should be, but can be corrected if you have two working hands.

Easy to use & they don’t take long to re freeze

The ice pack is divided into three sections with gel inside of each section, however, one of the sections has much less gel than the other ones. Still usable, but should be even.
