SnowPack Cold Therapy products work as good as ice without the mess. Perfect for icing injuries, sore muscles, joints, and any hard to reach place. A nice addition to any athlete's freezer!
SnowPack Cold Therapy acts and feels just like crushed ice, but it is easier to use and the consistency of the pack makes it more comfortable than ice. I've occasionally used bags of frozen peas for icing because I like the way they stayed cold longer and conformed to my body. SnowPack does this even better. It freezes and melts like ice, and conforms to any body part and can be reused.

Better Than Most Gel Packs

Most chemical and gel packs stay cold between 10 to 30 minutes and then lose cold fast. SnowPack stays cold for up to two hours. This allow you to go through several 15-minute icing sessions without having to refreeze the pack.

Sports Cover

The additional Sport Cover helps keep the SnowPack in place with appropriate compression. The two sides of the cover have a different thickness, so you can get the perfect amount of skin protection depending upon your comfort level.
