Chattanooga ColPac - Reusable Gel Ice Pack - Blue Vinyl - Neck Contour - 23 in (58 cm) - Cold Therapy for Neck, Shoulder, Upper Back for Headaches, Swelling, Bruises, Sprains, Inflammation

Love these ice packs! The black ones, over the blue, seem to get deeply cold and are super sturdy, and can still mold to your shape. Used both at PT and home, this shape works well for neck/shoulders AND for low back, with that "V" for tailbone area! I would not recommend sitting on them. However, the black series can take a good lean, even from an XL adult.

Love it

Exelente

All good. Exactly what we ordered and expected. Would use again.

These are great cold packs for the neck, especially because the gel/clay used stays soft enough to mold around your neck, and maintains the cold for a good period of time. Just need put the pack in a pillowcase to "temper" the cold when you first take it out of the freezer. Note: it's important to keep the packs stored in the provided storage pack, or in a freezer zip lock, otherwise they pick up a "refrigerator smell" from the food in the freezer, and your neck will likewise pick up the smell.My one complaint, and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that the seams on the cold packs inevitably split and the gel/mud starts leaking out. I've tried duct tape, etc., to repair the seams without success. Once the seams start splitting, the pack has to be thrown away. The company really needs to improve the strength of the seams to extend the lifespan of the packs. This has been the major weakness in this product for the entire time I've been using these packs (probably two decades). I've tried other brands of neck cold packs, but none match this brand in terms of comfort and effectiveness. I just wish they'd make the seams stronger. It's such a waste to have to throw them away.

Excellent ice pack. I especially like the ability to shape it while still freezing cold. The weight of the ice pack is substantial. High quality ice pack!

I purchased 3 different types of these to use primarily for the treatment of migraine headaches and for recurrent neck pain. The Chattanooga Colpac, the "Patterson Medical Cold Pacs Neck Contour, 23" (58cm) long" and " Hot and Cold Comfort Packs (Cervical Neck 6"x 20")".Of the 3, the Chattanooga looks exactly like the cold pack I have seen used in physical therapy clinics. It is heavy, soft vinyl and filled a nice amount of gel to ensure it stays cold for a reasonable amount of time, remains moldable and is comfortable to use. It gets the coldest of the 3 and stays the coldest the longest (at least 45 minutes). It did get a small amount of frost on the outside but not enough to be a problem and can be easily wiped clean after use. The edges of the pack aren't as soft as the Tru-Care pack but when covered with a towel or cover as advised to do when using to protect the skin they are not uncomfortable. The Hot and Cold Pack by Tru-Care has a soft cover & a decent amount of gel which make it comfortable to use but it doesn't get very cold or stay that way for very long (less than 25 minutes). Its cover is also not as easy to clean as the others. The Patterson Medical Cold Pack is covered in plain vinyl like the Chattanooga but it is thinner as it doesn't have as much gel in it as the the other 2 and its edges are the most noticeably hard of the 3. It freezes quite ridged in shape making it necessary for you to wait until it warms enough to be shaped around the body. It also did frost a lot more than the other 2 packs but it can also be wiped clean easily. It seems as cold as the Chattanooga initially but it didn't remain as cold as long (plus the need to wait until you can shape it), though it did stay cold longer than the Tru-Care pack.All 3 will wrap fully around the neck of an average and can be used "point up" or "point down" to cover more of the back of the head or upper shoulder area. They all can also be used to wrap around knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, shoulders as well as used to lay flat against other areas of the body making them great to have around for all sorts of needs. While I say this, please note that there are not velcro or other straps on any of the cold packs to secure them in place when wrapped around a part of the body. Since the packs are not supposed to directly contact the skin you would need to do this with whatever covering you choose to use.Pricing-wise, they are similar: $16.50 for the Tru-Care, $18.99 for the Chattanooga and $21.68 for the Patterson.As for longevity, I have only just purchased them but the Chattanooga seems to be the most durable of the 3. The Patterson model has the potential to be a long use product but its thin composition and rigidness when frozen make it seem more likely to crack with repeated use.If you are looking for a cold pack of that matches the quality you would see in a medical offices, gets cold and stays cold for a therapeutic time, is easy to clean, comfortable to use and should last through multiple uses, I would choose the Chattanooga.

Excellent product and service.
