Product Description
Doctors often prescribe cold therapy along with compression to treat bruises or minor trauma to the shin area, including muscle strains, medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) or posterior tibial syndrome. Shin Ice features cold packs containing cells of purified water sewn inside a neoprene sleeve. Refrigerate the sleeve, and then slip on.

Meh. Not so cold. August 24, 2008

I bought a couple of these for shin splints. They're a good idea but not very well executed. They're difficult and awkward to get on. It's basically an ice pack inside a stretchy sleeve as opposed to a single integrated unit. The ice pack is only sewn to the sleeve at the very top and bottom, so the rest of it is loose and likes to bunch up. Also, it never feels particularly cold, even fresh out of the freezer. It's cold, yes, but it's almost like it's so insulated that you can't feel it very much. Doesn't last very long either. I like the idea of compression + cold, and this delivers on the compression, but not so much on the cold. Better than nothing, I'm sure, but I'm now shopping for something better.
