Ice Packs - portable ?

[Scots_Charles_River]

Before I start googling, does anyone have links to an ice pack that you twist/snap etc like a snaplight that then becomes cold as an icepack ?

The opposite of chemical hand warmers.

Hi, if you look at the cold packs that are used on sports injurys, when used with a cool bag of some description they kee cold for ages, I buy these for my footy team and from most places its 10 cool packs for £10.

Hi Scots, how did the cool packs work? do they keep stuff cool for very long? In my experience of using them for sports injurys they dont last long but I was wondering if they worked longer i conjunction with a cool bag or something similar?

Most instant cold packs claim 'up to 20 minutes'. They may be colder than room temperature for that long but they will be at their coldest as soon as they are activated then slowly returning to room temp over that period.

According to the ingredients on the one we have in the scouts' first aid kit its just a bandage soaked in some volatile alcohol (isopropyl I believe)

Presumably it just works by evaporative cooling

Not the ones in my first aid kit.. It's a bag of liquid with another 'bag' of different liquid inside it that you rupture without puncturing the outer bag so the 2 chemicals mix and cause a cooling effect by some kind of chemical reaction

As a cautious but enthusiastic Outdoor Learning, Climbing and Canoeing teacher I have not had to use them yet with a class !

the ones I get last about an hour then fade out fast after that...
