Quality and Effectiveness
Pros:
"Great, high quality gel packs."
"These helped greatly."
"It’s absolutely perfect and versatile."
"These are flexible enough to contour to most desired areas of pain."
"The ice packs are very well made. The material is top quality."
"The gel packs are enclosed in a heavy duty blue cover, well-constructed and made to last."
"The included ice packs stay colder longer than anything else we've tried."
Cons:
"The pack didn't seem to hold the cold for a good time, 5-7 minutes tops."
"The ice pack was more so cool than cold."
"The product is far too stiff when frozen to wrap around a body part."
"The ice packs do freeze stiffer than I would like."
"They don't stay cold as long as I would like either."
"The ice pack while in its pouch with the Velcro strap barely does anything at all."
"The thickness of the strap pack prevents a lot of the coldness from coming through, it doesn’t work very well."
Design and Comfort
Pros:
"The iced gel pack fits into a pouch that allows you to secure in the area you want to focus on."
"The ice belt is convenient, I also use the ice bags w/out belt or with an ace bandage to hold them in place."
"The pocket and strap are easy to use and comfortable."
"Easy to warm up or cool down, and adjustable wrap is a bonus since these are used mostly for the back."
"Pack molds well even to rotator cuff area."
"The wrap allowed the cold to get through but not be too cold on the skin."
"The fabric cover allows cold to reach body while protecting skin from irritation."
Cons:
"The only thing that would make this a 5 star is if the sleeve was a little thicker."
"The concept is great and works for areas that you can easily use two hands like a leg to wrap but I bought this to wrap on securely for my tennis elbow and no way could I get it to work."
"If you buy this anyway for some reason, and you intend to use it for your back, note that the belt is sized for small or medium waists, and definitely won’t be comfortable if you’re wider in the middle."
"The pouch is thick and does not transfer the heat as much as it should."
"Bag it's Made of not a really good Quality as the velcro with its 1st use damages it a little."
"We used this after my husband's surgery, the idea is good but it's too thick and his wrist was bandaged and couldn't feel the ice through the layers."
"The wrap was quite thin and it might work okay but it arrived dirty."
Value and Customer Service
Pros:
"They are worth every cent."
"Perfect size, gets cold quickly and is malleable to shape it for where you need it."
"Highly recommend! Great product!"
"I’m very satisfied and would certainly buy them again."
"The price and the warranty made this an easy decision for me."
"Great customer service as well from Alex at Rester's Choice."
"I am very impressed and SO glad I purchased from a company that stands behind their quality."
Cons:
"I had really hoped the leaky gel pack reviews were outliers, but both of mine leaked after only *one or two* uses."
"The pack does not freeze solid meaning you can mold to the needed shape AND can apply directly to the skin or with a thin layer underneath."
"I paid for a 2 pack but only received 1 ice pack."
"I used one pack for as a cold pack, and the other as a heat pack. I followed the microwave instructions, and after one month of use, the pack started to bubble and leak."
"Don't waste your money. Buy a coldpac."
"Not durable at all as it is only being used while sitting in a chair or lying in a bed."
"MADE IN CHINA. Rester's Choice intentionally tries to hide that this product is MADE IN CHINA."
