Is this gel pack still flexible when frozen?

If it's left in the freezer for a long time it becomes more difficult to mold but you still can to a certain degree. I love the pack and highly recommend!

Yes, I didn't have any problem with it; it was definitely the answer to my sore back!

Yes, of course, that is why it is a "gel" pack {usually water & alcohol mix} and not solid water. It works well but I wish there was more filling in it as the mass of gel seems to separate somewhat while using it {some of the mass slides to the ends of the bag leaving space in the middle area. Also, it could stay more gelatinous for a longer period of time...mine lasts about 20 minutes maximum before starting to "liquify" again. Still, not bad for the price and I have not found a better one than this anywhere...online or in a store.

Yes, but not real flexible if it has been in the freezer for a long time. My wife had knee surgery and we have been using the pack on it. While it can be bent around the knee easily, it is not real flexible. Lately we only leave it in the freezer for about 12 - 15 hours and it stays more flexible.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.

It is very thick material. I add ice to the bottle and keep in refrigerator . I haven't tried to freeze it though. I doubt that it would crack even if frozen

The longer it is left in the freezer, the more solid it becomes. However, even after leaving it in for three days it was still fairly flexible "slush" and not completely solid.

Yes it will - there is a sort of gel inside and it will just split open and the gel will ooze out. Also once it gets cold out you have to remove it from where you have it because the gel will freeze and its like a brick to move by that time. Also the gel will also ooze out. This seems like a one time use item only. It does the trick but then you have to buy it again the next year. this is the 2nd time for me.

I would not recommend trying to stack them in the freezer, since they're flexible, and the additional weight will likely cause a deformation of the bottom one, making the ice cubes more difficult to extract.

No need to put it in the freezer or refrigerator. I don't know how the gel works, and it's not "cold", but more of distinct and pleasant "cool". I have 2 of these pillows. One with the gel and one without. I notice and miss the gel pillow right away. This pillow may come with it's own zipper covering. I've taken that off, using only a pillow case. The cool sensation is more distinct.

I don't believe the gel foam would actually freeze because it is infused in the foam. Should it freeze and become more solid in any way, it would be fine once the cabin warmed up. I don't think it would be a problem at all and certainly would not "explode". I suggest you call the seller & ask just to be certain about it if you're uncomfortable with it. Please give us your feedback on this; I will be looking for it. Thanks.

No it's not flexible. It dries hard with the light. If you think you can flex it you will separate it from your nail and it will lift and you won't have a protective gel coat anymore.

Yes. You can order multiple gel pack inserts. That way, if you take one in the car or something, you can have another in the freezer waiting for you. And the gel inserts are inexpensive.

Freeze. They feel like they are gel filled but the freeze hard. Like any ice pack you would get with a small cooler.

I would think so! You can pack it all in, put it in the freezer and then have it release once it gets hard. Works well for everything we've used it for. Nothing has stuck!

Actually the previous answers are incorrect. At least on my large knee wrap one side is velcro and the ice packs are replaceable. Too bad they aren't gel, but simply water in a quilted plastic liner. The are like little ice cubes that can feel hard.

Yes, it is flexible and conforms to curves and around edges. I have made several sticker using this product and have not been disappointed yet.

Yes. The ice pack is in a pouch. The pouch is attachable to the inside of the wrap by hook and loop (Velcro). So it can be moved to cover top or pinky side. I love it.

I've used the cord in sub freezing weather. It does become more rigid in cold temps. It's still pliable for rolling up or stretching out straight.

Yes, it does come with a sleeve (you can make it out in the picture, the white thing sort of beneath the pack). With the sleeve, even someone not fond of ice should be able to use it straight from the freezer. Also, I definitely recommend the hot/cold packs over the plain cold packs, as they seem to be filled with more gel, and stay cold longer.
