The Comfytemp Back Gel Wrap is designed specifically for lumbar application, featuring a dual-sided interface that addresses different comfort needs. One side uses a plush flannel fabric to provide a gentle barrier against the skin, while the other side is a nylon-coated surface for more direct thermal transfer. This design eliminates the need for finding a separate towel to wrap around the pack, making it a convenient tool for a busy parent.
The unit features an adjustable neoprene strap that accommodates waist sizes up to 48 inches, allowing for a snug and hands-free fit. Specifications show that the internal gel matrix remains pliable down to 0°F, though it may require a few minutes at room temperature to reach maximum flexibility if your freezer is set to a very low temperature. The reinforced stitching on the straps is built to handle the tension required to keep the pack in place during light household activity.
To preserve the connection points between the strap and the pack, it is helpful to allow the unit to sit for a few minutes after removing it from the freezer before tightening the straps fully.
Features include:
- Integrated plush backing for immediate use without extra layers.
- Extra-long hook-and-loop straps for an adjustable, secure fit.
- RF-welded seams designed to resist leaks during normal compression.
Tests indicate that the cooling effect is most efficient for the first 22 minutes of use. To maintain the grip of the velcro over time, keeping it clear of lint and debris will ensure the strap remains secure throughout its lifespan.
If you prefer a smaller, more focused application for joints like the ankle or wrist, consider the Blobuste 4-pack as a compact alternative.
