It's no cold enough. Is it an option to freeze ice packs?

These are not chemical packs so they have to be frozen before use (chemical freeze packs are single use anyway). And the other reviewer is right - they are cheaply made and will leak eventually. Unfortunately, they are the only ones I've found that fit my insulin pouch, so I try to be careful and make them last as long as possible.

These are re-freezable ice packs, not the one-time use chemical ice packs. Just pop it in the freezer for a few hours and it will be hard as a rock and ice cold for a few hours use.

that is what i do to mine all the time,i didnt know they got cold any other way

YES! FREEZE or place ice packs in the refrigerator. They work a lot better that way!

Yes but I found the quality of the product so poor that it leaked. I threw them away.

They are not shipped automatically with ice packs. You can request ice packs be added for a small fee.

It would all depend how thawed the ice pack gets and what temperature the freezer is...

Yes. It doesn't taste like fresh ice that way but, it can be done. I usually buy cheap food grade plastic bags at the grocery store and store the ice in the freezer. The plastic bags I buy are for homemade bread.

I'm guessing loose ice would be a bad idea since it doesn't seem to be waterproof. Ice in a bag works.

I would think you could...but I would pack the in an upright position, but that is is me and I might consider dry ice, I believe it is colder. It would also depend on the temp outside and will you be able to put them in a freeze when you arrive, before serving them.

If you can purchase an insulated box from them. I ordered mine when the weather was warmer and they were sent open to the air in a net bag. Worked fine then but I am afraid they would freeze now. It took about 5 days to receive.

Doesn't cool as well as an ice pack you keep in the freezer or even ice cubes in a bag or ice pack...mostly because it just doesn't last long. I'd say you have no more than like 10-15 minutes before this cold pack is no longer cool enough to be effective.

It depends how warm the environment is, how much food you'll have and how many ice packs you'll use. The more you use, the more likely the food will stay cold/frozen.

I guess you could, but once you remove the ice cubes to put your food inside, i am sure it will lose it coolness regardless within several hours. The bag is meant to be frozen by folding it up without placing any contents in it. For me any insulated lunch pack will work just as well with a ice pack. What I do is the night before I place a bottle of water in the freezer, about 3/4 of the way full as use that as my ice pack, and then when it melts I have a nice cold drink of water, the alternative is much cheaper than this bag.

not really..... its for heating in a microwave. But you could freeze it and use it for a cold pack also.

I only did cold. But if you purchase packs which you can heat (probably microwave) you can insert these into pouches and use..

You can get it below freezing if you want. There is no temperature gauge, so you need to put a thermometer inside and inside and play with it a little, but it will get as cold as you want.

Personal opinion: no. You need frozen ice packs to retain cold for any length of time. You could bring ziplock bags and put in fresh hotel ice each day and night. Just double bag the ice to prevent too much condensation. I always ziplock bag my meds too to prevent water damage. Have a good trip.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

No you don't need to put ice in it but you can if you really want things to stay cold . There are no ice pack included but I already had some and I use them due to my lunch cooler sits in my work truck and with the Texas heat it helps keep things cold.
