Ice pack

Hi everyone,

Given my bag will be transported daily I'm contemplating bringing my own ice pack. Has anyone done this before? Will they allow me to use their freezer? Alternatively, I'm thinking of bringing a bunch of instant ice packs.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Sonia

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Take some sturdy Ziplok bags, and ask for ice at bars (if you are using the ice packs for therapy). Glace in French, hielo in Spanish. Disposable ice packs are heavy and expensive, so they won't work very well.

Thanks again for the advice Falc. I think I'll opt to ask the guys at the bar for ice.
