I have traveled the world, January 3, 2008
This review is from: FRIO Insulin Cooling Wallet Large - Black - 1130LARGE1130LGBK (Health and Beauty)
I have had nothing but good luck with my Frio. It has gone with me to Britain, Italy, and in the next few months will accompany me to Poland and Greece. I have also taken it camping with me in the North Carolina summer heat without any problem at all. It has always remained cool inside, regardless of the outside temperature, for at least 48 hours (usually longer) before I have to recharge it. It is now four years old and, while it takes a bit longer than ten minutes for the initial charge, still working as well as before.

Amazing, but it seems to work, September 5, 2010
I have had to travel with biomed drugs that needed refrigeration for almost 15 years, and this is The Best.
An insulated ice pack lasts about 4 hours for me, then is still cool but melted. An LA-NY flight's worth of cool, unless you have to get luggage, wait in line for a cab, and get into the city. So it used to be a pain begging ice off stewardesses who were running low & trying to get ready to land.
Then after 9/11 & the shoe bomber, I had ice packs confiscated and had to deal with melting ice for the whole trip. A real mess.
A 12 hour flight to Europe would have been impossible, but with the Frio, I just flew both ways with extended layovers, and it was still relatively cool at the end. Not icy cold, but then they're not supposed to be, just cool. I admit, I kinda panicked when I touched it at my destination and found the outside of the pack room temp, but the inside was still cool.
And no security messed with me. They accepted a "moist medicine pack," with no further hassle. In LA, Toronto, Copenhagen, & Chicago.
I did tell them about it in advance. Now I wish I'd waited to see if they would have even questioned it. I don't think there's enough liquid in it to bother a scanner.
Bottom line: one cool product
