Has anyone compared these to the regular Thermafreeze sheets? Do these stay colder longer? Is the outer layer more durable?

I have not compared the two, They stay cold for a couple of days or longer if more are used together. The outer layer seems to be durable but they still seep some of the liquid material. I bought some 2 gallon ziplock freezer bags and put one sheet in each ziplock bag. Got rid of most of the sticky.

They stay colder longer because of the silver backing. They are equally as durable.

They also do not freeze like the other user said. I have a set and had no issues with them.

They are thinner than other gloves. I would say they don't keep you very warm at that temp. They still keep your hands warm just not as well as other thicker gloves.

I have not used the insulated one yet, but I was extremely cold in some 30 degree temps on the AT last year. I upgraded my sleeping bag and purchased the insulated air mattress

These sheets are great! I like my sheets cold too. I used them last night for the first time because I was waiting for new Bdrm Suite to arrive. They are fabulous. I usually sweat a lot at night, but slept great on these sheets. I'm sure you will love them.

You might get mixed answers, but I tend to freeze with mine! Thick sheet will help with that though.

I wore wool socks all the time when I was in the Army. They were mandatory at a winter combat survival course I attended. These are definitely warmer than wool and are much less scratchy. Although you may notice that they are a bit thicker than other socks due to the layering of different materials intended to hold in heat more efficiently. But that's not much of a downside in my opinion. It was -10 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning and my feet were nice and toasty all day.

I would really like to know this too... They have insulated and then better insulated - what is the difference?!

I have had them on my back or laying on them for well over two hours and they were still cold. I had a three hour drive the other day and had them behind my back, they were still cold when I got there Tip, don't freeze them silver side together, they won't last. It is best if you can freeze them in different parts of the freezer so they don't touch, but I freeze mine white side to white side so the silver side is not touching them.

I use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40 temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

I have two min-pins that were a year old 9/2013. I ordered these for use this past Winter when although they were (sort of) housebroken it was way too cold for them to go outside. (I mean up to -25F) These work much better than wee-wee pads! First, unlike wee-wee pads, if the pups squat close to the edge, the urine does not go past the edge. They get more absorbent with use and the plastic smell also diminishes with washings. Pups seem to like them much more than the wee-wee pads.

These absorb well for us. There the only prefolds I've ever tried. I also boiled for about 40 min and they quilted up nice and thick and shrunk significantly. They lay perfect in a cover I don't imagine I'd be able to wrap around my baby and snappi them. This might sound dumb but I didn't realize before I bought them, these stay very wet on babies bottom. Definitely use with fleece liners or it's like a wet rag on their bum every time you change them :\

I don't know, what is a polar fleece sheet? I can tell you that the sheets I purchased through Amazon are wonderful when it's cold weather! I plan on ordering another set soon!

No, they haven't made my feet sweat but I wear socks with them and it has been cold. They have a cloth lining in them and a great supportive foot bed that is also cloth lined. I have used them in the snow and my feet do not get cold either. They are not insulated but I was just fine and dry in them with my light wool socks on.

Here in the mid-Atlantic states where snow (up to 10 -12 inches at least once a year), cold (below zero a few days), and heat (up to around 100) gives us some extremes, I see these have lasted (have now had two sets each on our SUV and convertible) about one year each pair, which I think is better than other blades which might last only one winter or one summer season. Love them.

I have been using them for almost a year. I use them on the ice mode. During this period only one cube has leaked. When I bought it I thought they were smaller and less bulky. But these three sheets of artificial ice are quite large and heavy.

Well, I've never done it personally but I think they'd work well for that. They arrive flat and you have to soak them I'm water before you freeze (or heat but I haven't tried them for that). The material is cloth-like and they come and decently large sheets that you can cut into smaller sizes if you choose. I will say the warmer the water the faster the little pockets ballon up so watch them when you're doing that part! If they get too full they can burst, I haven't had that happen to any of mine but a few of the ones that are a little too full 'oozed' just a bit. So far it's a durable product and I'd recommend them. I use them on lunches. Well, I've never done it personally but I think they'd work well for that.
