how long will the clay pack stay cold? I'm traveling for 30 hours by air with medicine and need it 36 to 46 degrees thru the flight.

My son is a runner. He uses these packs for his knees. They only stay cold for 1-2 hours. We have 3. He trades out the warm one for a cold one as he needs to. We like them for the flexibility the clay offers. It feels better than a traditional ice pack.

Oh wow that is a long flight! !!! I travel and use ice for lower back .... I know--not quite same thing ..... what works best for me to keep ice bags & clay cold is: insulated bag, ice bags, clay bag & wide mouth insulated 24oz Polar water bottles. I fill "P-bottles" with water (allow for expansion) & freeze. All frozen stuff in picnic bag and add meds. None of the frozen stuff will last 30hours. ... you can get ice to re-fill Polar bottles ..... plus you will have steady supply of cold water. Hope this helps. Have good flight!!!! Lynda

Use an icepack...it will keep few hours. I am in the caribbean and while the ice melted, it kept the drinks cold enough for a extra hours. Please note the outside does get wet.

Mine had a chill pack that was shipped with it. I would still liked to have seen it insulated as I can see it sitting in the sun in the delivery truck with temperatures easily exceeding 84 degrees F. I threw the chill pack out so I don't know if it was a chemical endothermic type or not. If it was just frozen the latent heat of formation should carry it through one session of high heat early in the journey.

easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine. We absolutely love it- take it on car trips a lot and the beach and it stays cold for a long time- ice packs also hold well inside if you know there will be a long period of time it wont be plugged in. We also bought a $30 converter with it that you can plug into a regular outlet a lot of planes have plugs nowadays too. So, if it is for medicine if you cal lthe airlines theyd find a seat for you that has an outlet too- enjoy! easily for a few hours, a flight would be a breeze to keep it chilled - but remember with FAA rules you cannot bring beverages on board- but for medicines or baby'smilk, etc youd be fine.

They will still be cold if it is closed and in a decent temperature (in the car or bus), but they would not be frozen. It guarantees frozen things up to 3 hours.

This is not one that you soak in water. The frozen gel will last a while depending on how hot it is outside and how hot your skin temp usually is. If it is very hot outside and you have a high skin temp normally I would say the packs will last about two hours or so frozen. You still get some cooling though through the liquid gel for a little bit. I would get an extra set and keep it in a cooler in your car or on your work site if possible. That is what we have done for my mom and it works great for her.

I personally use two little ice pack/bricks during the day. I do live in the tropical state if Qld on Australia so it's quite hot. Keeps cold for hours and hours. Great investment!

Sorry I can't answer the question directly. I needed it as a cold pack after shoulder surgery and it did not stay cold more than 1/2 hour. I can only assume it has the same result for heating. But, with heating you can reheat in a couple of minutes, where-as freezing takes hours.

Hi, not sure about tsa compliant. They may not stay cold long enough for u.s. to Europe. I usually get about 8 hours at most of them staying cool.

Kara, We do not ship this product with cold packs due to the short time that it is in transit. However, once this package is opened it should absolutely be refrigerated. Thank You, Customer Service

About 15 -20 minutes...not as long as other packs, but if you have sensitive skin, this is a good option...you can put it on and leave it on...my PT told me that it's not necessary to have it super cold.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

Hello! We apologize our company Swanson Health Products does not ship this product with a cold pack. We do not have a long enough shipping time to cause damage to the supplements. We hope this helps clarify. Please contact us back if we may be of further assistance! Kayla P. Account Specialist

well by the time the shipment got to me the icepack had melted. But that never seemed to alter the effectiveness. I suggest you use an icepack for as far, or as long as possible until you reach your destination :)

I've never measured the temp, so I can't say for certain. The Nutropin pen was still cold after a four hour flight.

I like it! I use it for keeping medicines cool when we're on the road. It keeps contents chilled for a good 8-10 hours, is easily tucked away in a large handbag or carry on & the ice pack "recharges" if placed in a small refrigerator overnight. It's a good buy.
