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

The 1.74 Foot ColPac is great for neck, shoulder or knee pain. Nice size to keep handy in freezer. Bought in 2018 along with 10"x13.5" size, they're durable and still work good as new. Flexible, feel good on body, stay cold.

They use this exact product for my physical therapy so I wanted some for home use. They are shaped perfectly to get around your ankle, knee or shoulder and large enough to adequately cover the area . Graduated in size so it is larger in the center & gradually gets narrower at both longer ends so you can wrap it around your painful area & it will stay put. It is made of heavy, flexible plastic which gets very cold for a long time but not stiff. It has a nice amount of gel to stay cold & I have used it so often & still looks as good as new. A fantastic product & worth every penny!

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.

Works very well for my sprianed ankle. Nice size and stays cool for a long time after taking out of the freezer.

Product stays nice cold for a long time, necessary for neck shoulders. After neck surgery this is a must have.Product was so instrumental in keeping my swelling down until it busted at the Seams. So disappointing because I truly loved it.

Worth the value and true to size and gets really cold and not heavy weight and excellent Quality and covers the area well

The cold pack stays cold, is pliable and is affordable. Same type pack that my physical therapy site uses.

Good size for and shape for shoulder and back. Cold really lasts!

Great quality and stays cold for a long time. Folds up small so doesn’t take up much room in the freezer.

Does what it should do, is heavier than expected but sits comfortably when used.

This product barely lasted 3 months.I had ordered one cervical and one lumbar and both ended up breaking in the corners with the contents oozing out.Would love to be contacted to get a refund or trial of new product in order to change review in case I just got a bad batch

kept it in the Chatanooga bag/zipped & frozenUsed it right away on : neck, shoulder to blade, wrap around : forearm, calf, knee, shin, thighuse for small dog to keep her cool on hot days.. ( no dog pool).

These are really great! They were recommended by my physiotherapist for my knees. Although they are typically for the neck and shoulder area, these are perfect for knees too…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
