ColdOne Ankle Wrap

ColdOne Ankle Wrap

The Bottom Line

This product combines the best of two worlds. You get a great ice pack that comes in its own compression wrap. The highlight is having a cold wrap that fits perfectly on a specific injury site. They make a ColdOne wrap for the shoulder, knee, foot and ankle, elbow, back, forearm, and wrist.

Pros

  • Combines cold therapy with compression in one package
  • Can be applied directly to the skin
  • Each neoprene wrap is designed for a specific injury site for a perfect fit

Cons

  • They're expensive - especially to have wraps for several body parts

Description

  • Each neoprene wrap is designed for a specific injury site for a perfect fit.
  • Different wraps are available for: knee, ankle, back, shoulder, wrist, forearm or elbow. Plus
  • Heavey-duty neoprene is washable

Guide Review - ColdOne - Cold Therapy Wraps

The ColdOne ice wraps are designed to fit a specific body part so there is no messing around with ace bandages or trying to hold the ice pack in place. This is great for the multi-tasker who wants to do something more than lay down and hold the pack in place. The wraps are washable, refreezable and made of heavy-duty neoprene.

While the ColdOne products are pricy (from $25 for the wrist wrap to $125 for the shoulder) it is nice to get the ice pack and the compression wrap in one package that fits, literally, like a glove. These wraps are sure to last a long time.

My favorite is the ankle wrap. It fits perfectly and ices evenly across the top & bottom of the foot and front and back of the lower leg. I was confident that I iced the entire ankle joint thoroughly in one 20 minute session.

The back ColdOne wrap is also a favorite because it provides good compression and better support than any other back wrap I've tried.

Overall, a fine product. If you have a chronic injury that needs a lot of icing, ColdOne may be worth the cost.
