This review is based on two weeks of use, and I have not tried any other similar product, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I can’t definitively say that this shoulder wrap is the best of its kind. Nevertheless, what I will say might help you make a wise purchasing decision.

That said, I am very satisfied with the quality, fit, and utility of this product. I have chronic shoulder pain, probably low-level rotator cuff inflamation. I’ve been icing my shoulder with an ice bag, every other day or so, especially after lifting weights. But without a wrap I’ve been having trouble balancing the bag on my shoulders.

This shoulder wrap is very helpful and it easily keeps the ice bag on my shoulder, firmly enough that I can do desk work and type on the computer (as I am doing now). The wrap comes with two velcro straps: one goes diagonally across your chest and the other around your arm. I only use the cross-chest strap and it’s enough. The arm strap is kinda difficult to secure by yourself. But that’s not a big deal.

Some key factors: This wrap takes both an ice bag (which it comes with) or a gel ice pack (I think, but I haven’t tried it). I prefer the ice bag because I find it colder and ice is easy to get when I’m traveling. The ice bag sits directly on your body, without being encased in any other pouch. So, yeah, it can get pretty cold (which is cool, literally).

The gist: if you have chronic shoulder pain and your doctor says to ice it regularly, you need this product (or at least some version of it). Don’t try to be cheap like I was. I’m glad I spent the 39.95 (with free shipping, woohoo).
