Tolaccea Hot & Cold Therapy Flexible Ice Packs Cold Therapy Compression Sleeve Reusable Gel Pack for Injury Cold Wrap for Knee Calf Ankle Elbow

Quick delivery. Well made. The cooling sleeve works well. The ice cooling sleeve only last about 15 minutes. Then you have to put it back in the freezer.

This product is well made, easy to put on and off, easy to move when wearing and gives immediate relief. I bought knee and ankle sized, and the sizing chart was accurate for me. The wrap is icy cold for 5-10 minutes, then begins to warm up, but I found it remains cool for about 45 minutes. I broke an ankle last fall and I wish I'd had several of these to help with swelling back then. If you are recovering from surgery or have a great deal of swelling which requires constant icing, I'd buy several of these so you can swap them out. So much easier than ice packs or some of the other Velcro wraps. Only con might be difficult to use with a cast, but absolutely awesome once cast is removed.

Fits well. Stays cold for a long time. Good relief after tennis lessons

I'll cut to the chase - I love everything about this, except that 1) it doesn't stay cold very long, and 2) it's too expensive to buy several of them in order to use them in rotation for longer cold application. These are big factors, so I'm removing one star for each. Other than the duration and my budget, this is a great product. I'd been using an ice pack from a food cooler, wrapped in a towel, to ice my elbow. Compared to that, this sleeve is excellent - it immerses the whole surrounding area with cold, rather than just a tiny spot. I can also wear it and do other things, instead of sitting still and using my free hand to hold the old ice/towel in place. It's surprisingly comfortable; the fabric is thick, and inner gel is flexible to use on a joint like an elbow. (For reference, I got a medium sleeve; I"m 6'2", 185 lb, and it fits well). Overall, I'm icing my elbow more frequently throughout the day, because this sleeve makes it more convenient to do so. I have to assume that, on balance, that's a good thing. After leaving the sleeve in my freezer for several hours, I get about 10 minutes of useful cold application from it (in an 80 F degree room). The sleeve starts out so cold that it's borderline painful (which I mean as a compliment), but quickly warms to the point that it's only cool to the touch. I'm supposed to be icing 30 minutes on / 30 minutes off. If I had three sleeves, I think I could use them in sequence, and cool them enough in between, such that I could achieve that goal. But, for the nearly $100 that it would cost, I'm not willing to do so. Instead, I'm going to use this sleeve as frequently as I can cool it, then supplement with the old ice pack / towel in between. That said, if you were using this for heat, I think it might be a winner. Per the instructions, it only takes a few seconds in the microwave to warm the pack. Even if the heat wears off quickly (and I don't know, because I haven't tried it) you could heat it back up again quickly, too. For cold application, though, you need to wait. Lastly, I've only had this sleeve for one day, so I can't comment on the durability yet. It comes in a zip-lock bag, and I've been keeping it in that bag in the freezer, in hopes of keeping it clean over the long term.

Amazing, stays flexible after being in the freezer for days even weeks. Athletic material and fits great, staying cold for a long period of time. Highly recommend for tennis or golf elbow.
