Does it get cold on all areas of the wrap? It seems it would be uncomfortable if it were to get cold in front

There is a Velcro strap infront of your throat so you can make it as tight or as loose as you want. The collar does go from around my coratid artery around the back of my neck to the other coratid artery. I have strained my sternomastoid muscle (the muscle on either side of you throat) and this collar covers those muscles. Hope that helps!

Not too cold by the fasteners. I also use it on my knee and it works great.

No it does not get cold in front. I have found it very comfortable to wear.

I am sure you will have other layers. It does keep some of the cold out. Dry for sure. The kids were with it the whole day in snow. They were very comfortable.

I used my groin strap for a short period of time in very warm climate. I guess I don't understand what you mean using this ice cold. It wouldn't be cold that long anyway. Put some kind of cloth wrap on the area your going to use this because it will prevent this wrap from slipping. Make sure it is wrapped tight to be effective.

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

This wrist wrap is not meant to be worn while doing any activity that you would be using the muscles in your wrist and hand if you are using it as a cold wrap. The cold wrap helps with inflammation from over use and stress to the muscles, by using these muscles while you are wearing this wrap could actually over stress the muscle and injure yourself. When you use these muscles your pumping blood to them while the wrist wrap is trying to take blood away from that area to decompress and take away inflammation. For best results use the wrist wrap while not doing anything to engage those muscles, I recommend using the wrap after a work day or after doing an activity that inflames that area. I don't recommend using the wrap hot or cold while doing an activity to engage those muscles, it will be most effective while using it after an actively that engages those muscles.

i feel very comfortable -- it is hard for me to say whether it is cold or warm as people feel differently. It is breathable - I would say it will keep you cool. I have used for more than 4 weeks now. It has improved my sleep quality. Good luck!

Yes, it does get warm on the back, but you can hold your hand on it and not get burned, it's not THAT warm.

The warm side ... I'm not sure. The cold side.. I had to ask my 11 year old daughter because I purchase it for her. She said it actually kept her grape cold. She sometime put ice pack in but when there is no ice pack it still stay cold. I'm assuming its same for warm side. I hope this answer your question.

No, I wore it under a clothing all the time. With the clothing on top it will feel a bit tight. But after a little while you will get used to it. Hope this answered your question.

Yes, the cold is totally around the knee. At first I found that it wasn't as cold as at physio, but then I increased the cold level in the freezer.

I have had my wrap for about 3years. I think the aroma does fade but it still keeps my shoulders warm!

Yep! I tend to cold though since it's not insulated, you will be able to feel the warmth on your hands.

It has some insulation. I throw in an ice pack, it keeps everything inside cold, and the pack is normally still cool when I get home.

It is cold all around arm and then shoulder area - doesn't feel that cold under armpit. So yes to the beginning of armpit

There are two cold sides--cloth side is less, but both get and stay very cold. I bit bulky but worth it for sure.

Yes, I dont like the cold pack from this so I use a clay cold/heat pack. Hits perfectly and this wrap is very durable.
