Chattanooga ColPac Blue Neck Contour

The Chattanooga ColPac - Reusable Gel Ice Pack was helpful in every way possible in minimizing my stiff and sprained neck. At that time, I didn't know that cold packs like these would actually exist and that this "cold therapy" would actually work until I gave it a go. Before these were actually introduced me, when I usually get stiff neck from waking up on the wrong side of bed or sprained my neck from head movements too fast, I usually try to ride it out throughout the day by minimizing head movements until I get the chance to finally lay on my bed. Enter the Chattanooga ColPac. You put these gel icepack in the freezer and let it gather up its coolness. In an event where I sprain my neck or get a stiff neck, I whip this pack out of the freezer, and wrap it around my neck like a scarf and start my "cold therapy" session. At first try, I thought it was uncomfortable because I wasn't used to this. However, as I kept it longer in my neck and gave a deep breath and meditated, I somehow felt relaxed and the coldness that surrounded my neck, slowly made my stiff neck feel little by little, free. The Chattanooga ColPac have been helpful throughout the years of ownership (2015). The quality of the surrounding gel felt a quality as it has never punctured a hole on me or exploded on me. The gel retained its slushy properties as it never froze while it has retained to coolness around it. I find this as a setting it in the freezer and forget it type of item and when you need it, you can use it immediately, knowing that it has been chilled for your next use.

I've seen these in use at various medical facilities and I can see why. Durable, well made, and it stays cold for a long time. Sized well, so the coverage is good and also it is a heavier ice pack and lays flat. The contoured design is perfect for the back of your neck and draping the edges over your shoulders. Great value as it performs perfectly. Will definitely get more ice packs from this company.

I love these cold packs! I’m a licensed massage therapist & I used them on clients all the time! I decided to get my own because of how wonderful they are. They’re great quality & I love How when they freeze, they don’t stiffen up like other cold pacs do. They definitely help me with my migraines & muscle tightness. I wish There was a Velcro hold to keep them in place because of how gushy they are, but overall, they’re great!

Stays cold a long time. Does not freeze solid so it can be wrapped around any body part. Good for a sore neck or just trying to cool down.

These are great cold packs for the neck, especially because the gel/clay used stays soft enough to mold around your neck, and maintains the cold for a good period of time. Just need put the pack in a pillowcase to "temper" the cold when you first take it out of the freezer. Note: it's important to keep the packs stored in the provided storage pack, or in a freezer zip lock, otherwise they pick up a "refrigerator smell" from the food in the freezer, and your neck will likewise pick up the smell. My one complaint, and reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that the seams on the cold packs inevitably split and the gel/mud starts leaking out. I've tried duct tape, etc., to repair the seams without success. Once the seams start splitting, the pack has to be thrown away. The company really needs to improve the strength of the seams to extend the lifespan of the packs. This has been the major weakness in this product for the entire time I've been using these packs (probably two decades). I've tried other brands of neck cold packs, but none match this brand in terms of comfort and effectiveness. I just wish they'd make the seams stronger. It's such a waste to have to throw them away.

This was great for me and very practical. I first discovered it when I started physical therapy, used it there, and then bought the same one to use at home. The price is not cheap, but the convenience was worth it for my needs at the moment. It’s easy to clean, easy to store, and simple to put in the freezer before using. I would recommend it.

I used it after I had an atv accident. I helped a lot.

I literally just got off the phone with this items product support as I was calling them to tell them the seams have come apart and the cold pack is now leaking its internal gel. It was purchased in Aug of 2024. The rep said that the item only has a 1 year warranty and offered no effort for repair or replacement or discount for a new purchase..!! I told the agent well we would not be ordering this product again since it didn’t even last much more than a year.

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

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…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

Love it. Covers a large area would be great for your foot,back,neck,arm etc

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
