I bought 2 of these 9" ice bags.. One for the office and one at home. THEY ARE GREAT!!! Every time my lower back feels sore and tight, I pop some ice into the bag and it goes straight on my back... In less than a minute the bag is cold and the tension deep in my back is relieved. This works so much better than those reusable freezer bags because 1) they don't get as cold as these bags and 2) it takes time for them to get cold in the first place. I guess they have their own purpose though.... VERY SATISFIED!!!!

The screw on lids are nice and solid.. no leaks once the ice has melted. Also getting the ice into the bag itself is a snap...

I had a pass-me-down ice bag from my parents that lasted an amazing 50 years. These new ones are of the poorest quality imaginable. Made in China & lined with some sort of plastic, they just don't last. The first lasted about 2 months, the second only 12 hours! Now how hard can it be to coat a fabric with a durable rubber material? Evidently our high tech society isn't necessarily more advanced than that of our parents! Take a good look at the picture of the bag & stay away from all with the white fabric with navy blue snow flakes & dots. They're all made by the same factory. Junk.

this is a good old fashioned ice bag!! well made.
the type one finds in pharmacies in the US today are made of plastic and are uncomfortable to the skin.
this one is different!

The English Ice Cap sweats profusely when filled with ice, although you can find sweatier ones than this. We found the only way to stop the sweat was to put a plastic bag inside the Ice Cap, and then put the ice inside the plastic.

I have been looking everywhere for a small ice bag. I finally found one on Amazon. The small one is perfect for small areas. It has a cloth exterier and the lid fits on well. Would recommend.

I love this product. I have bought 3 of them. They are so inexpensive and well built, I use them two at a time on my knees and elbows as cold packs. Great for sport injuries.

These caps only have a 6" diameter if you lay them out flat. Fill them with ice and water and you would be lucky to cover enough area to ice an elbow. If you plan on doing anything like icing your knees go for at least the 9" pack maybe even the 12". But once they are filled the gasket does a nice job of making sure it doesn't leak.

This ice cap is very handy and gets cold quickly. I use it for the occasional headache and pulled muscle. It is a very convenient way to ice an injury or headache. The bag itself is sturdy and the screw-on cap fits well. I have not had any problem with leaks.

I fill the bag with a cup or two of water and four to six ice cubes and it gets cold almost instantly. Of course, the more water/ice you put in it, the heavier it will be, so to keep it lightweight do not fill the bag full. That is especially important if you are using it for a headache and don't want to have a heavy weight resting on your head. I have found that you don't need much ice/water to make a very cold, long-lasting compress with this cap.

This ice cap is superior to more "modern" ice packs I have used in the past because it retains cold longer and is more convenient because I don't have to worry about freezing it in advance, like other ice packs.

This has some cheap "fabric" covering a cheap layer of plastic; mine lasted two weeks before it starting leaking through a small hole. I've had an old fashioned blue heavy duty plastic one for about 15 years with no problems, but this 'new' design and construction didn't last. I recommend the old kind.Ice Bag Large 11"

These are hard to find in stores -very happy to find it sold on Amazon. It's the only thing that works for a headache for me. It stays cold for hours, and so is easier and better than the new cold packs that thaw out.
