“I'll admit; when I received my order, I thought the "sleeve" was missing and all they sent was the gel pack. So I decided to return it and order a complete one. (Duh.) Boy, am I glad. I've got "tennis elbow" but I don't play tennis, so I'm guessing I just use electronic devices too much. I could tell I needed ice. I'd already ordered a gel pack/velcro sleeve thing, and it offered a lot of relief, but I couldn't get it tight enough without my husband's help. This one, I just slip my arm into it. I ordered a small; I measure 11.5# just above the elbow. It fits nice and tight. It's very comfortable and it doesn't slip down. I don't know if it will loosen over time, but if you don't have ready help, don't order a wraparound device; you'll never get it tight enough! High marks; it's simple, but effective.”
“Extremely easy to use, wonderful relief to an arm broken in a car wreck some years ago which always lets me know when it is going to rain . First time I've gotten good relief from anything in a long time.I would recommend this item to anyone who has a need for it, it truly lives up to its description.”
“Husband writing from wife's account: Perfect for sore or stiff knees or elbows. I've been rehabbing from a hamstring injury, which included a few other tendons and ligaments around the knee and this has been great. It only stays cold for 20 minutes once I put it on, but that's long enough for me to feel relief. My favorite part is being able to get up and move around while wearing it. I'm not forced to be on a chair or couch while icing my muscles. I highly recommend this for athletes, or people who are past their athletic prime but don't want to admit it like me.”
“Its very easy to put on and stays on. Much easier than struggling with the Velcro type ice packs. It doesn't stay cold for more than 10 minutes. I got a size Large and I can easily fit another gel pack inside. It's comfortable and not restrictive.”
“Great idea and concept but it runs small. I purchased the XL because I needed it for a thigh muscle injury. Did as web instructions said, measured my leg and the Xl should have fit. Not so. I had to really pull on it to get it up to my mid thigh, there is no stretch. I was afraid that if I pulled too hard it would break the soft outer housing. Aside form that , I left it in the freezer overnight and the cold only lasted for about 15 minutes. If the company would make an XXL, made the outer shell a little more sturdy and add more gel, it would be a great product. Had to return it.”
