Quality and Material

Pros:

  • "This thing is like commercial grade quality."
  • "Product is built very sturdy though and should last a while for someone that needs it."
  • "This pack looks really sturdy and well made."
  • "The overall product is strongly made."
  • "Neck Cold Pack is made well, thick pliable nylon."
  • "The cold pack seems very well made, not cheap plastic like others."
  • "Cold pack appears well made."

Cons:

  • "I really liked this ice pack, great shape for using on my neck but in less than a year of use the seams opened up and gel started to ooze out."
  • "For some reason the cooling gel inside this pack is unevenly distributed."
  • "Product design is bad, if using for wrist/forearm the way we needed to use, the product fold point and stitching creates a very uncomfortable and ineffective fold."
  • "The cervical roll ice pack has become permanently sticky after a couple years of regular daily use."
  • "Purchased on 7/2022, used as ice pack only (no heat) about 10-15 times, no reason it should be leaking other than faulty materials or poor manufacturing."
  • "I haven't had this that long and I've only used it three times and it's already broke and there is goo coming out of it."
  • "There's not enough gel inside - I'd say that it could use to have about 50% more than it has."

Flexibility and Fit

Pros:

  • "I'm able to fold this neck pack in thirds to take up less space in the freezer."
  • "Stays cold for hours. Exterior durable and still flexible shen frozen."
  • "I really like the material this cold pack is made of. It's not a plastic that can crack over time but is a strong, shiny MATERIAL that is very FLEXIBLE."
  • "I like the way it conforms to the body."
  • "Very flexible and sits just right on the back of my neck."
  • "It is very flexible and covers, all at the same time, the front, top, and back of my shoulder and stays in place when I am sitting without the use of straps."
  • "It's very flexible."

Cons:

  • "The biggest limitation is that there are no fasteners, and it is so heavy and (initially) stiff, you cannot successfully use this relying only on gravity to keep it where you need it."
  • "It needs to be longer to go over the neck and around the neck."
  • "Flexi? Not so much-even at room temp. The material is thick with minimal flex."
  • "It won't conform to your neck, super stiff even after dozens of uses."
  • "The gel pack is not that flexible and does not stay very well."
  • "The icepack is not very flexible at all. Very stiff and doesn't form to neck and shoulders well."
  • "It doesn't mold to the neck as it should and is not at all pliable."

Cooling Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "I am using it for post surgical swelling. It is so cold, I wrap a tea towel over and that thin cotton layer helps."
  • "Not only does it get extremely cold, it’s also retains the cold for a very long time."
  • "The pack definitely stays cold for a long period of time."
  • "It stays colder MUCH longer than the neck wraps made by Elasto-gel."
  • "This cold pack actually stays colder much longer than other packs."
  • "Once it’s frozen It lasts a couple hours easily before having to put back in the freezer."
  • "It stays cold for a very long time!"

Cons:

  • "Stays cool for a decent about of time, 30 min or so, then starts wearing off on the icy coldness to a mediocre cool for total cooling time of 50 minutes of so."
  • "Cold does not last very long."
  • "It gets cold (freezer for 2 hrs), lasts about 15 mins."
  • "This cold wrap is basically useless...after freezing, then wrapping around neck, it's only cold for maybe 10 minutes at most."
  • "Doesn't stay cold long, since there is very little gel inside."
  • "Does Not stay cold for very long!! Then, after the cold wears off (fast) it heats up and start making me sweat around the neck and head!!!"
  • "it doesn't stay cold long enough. It gets SUPER cold in the freezer, but I think that because there's not much gel in it, that cold dissipates relatively quickly - after 15 mins, there's a a pretty dramatic drop off - it does remain cool for at least another 20 to 30 mins."

Design and Usability

Pros:

  • "I use it all the time, my neck's been hurting for months and this definitely helps."
  • "Really like the shape and how it contours to my neck."
  • "It's flexible to position and won't slide off."
  • "This is a great shoulder chill pack. It also works well around the neck."
  • "It's so versatile in its usefulness!"
  • "It fits nicely on neck and shoulders."
  • "Fits around your neck much more easily than just a regular ice pack."

Cons:

  • "It does the job of icing my neck and calming down whatever is going on, but I have to be mindful of the weight on my neck."
  • "The only downside is that it doesn't have any straps or closures."
  • "Keeps falling off the shoulders."
  • "Doesn't fit really like the pic."
  • "I was hoping it would sit securely around my neck and shoulders without sliding, but it doesn't."
  • "It lacks a closure to keep it around the neck."
  • "The part that should be on neck is a struggle to keep touching neck."
