Remains Soft yet Firm when Frozen
I have had several different gel / stay-soft ice packs.  I have always liked the comfort gel packs.  With a husband and child that have Ehlers Danlos and are accident prone, we have a lot of bumps, bruises, and twisted ankles, etc. in our house.  These freeze soft yet firm, so it is easy to wrap around a knee or ankle or other parts.  I have also used them for back pain.  We will sometimes use them in coolers (especially when traveling) and they easily wrap around bottles of soda/water or other containers in the cooler.<br /><br />I have never tried them for heat.  We tend to use heating pads for that instead.<br /><br />We unfortunately left some of ours in a hotel freezeer not long ago so I am back replenishing our stock.  I have not had one break on me (though it is used frequently) and we had our old ones for several years.<br /><br />At the time of purchasing I got 5 for ~$25 with tax.  So at ~$5 per ice pack I am very happy with the price.
