Gets Cold fairly quick,Stays cold during treatmentFits more than just my size.Hands are harder to get used to with the cold. Very nice set.I use the hat for the frequent headaches.

Overall we really liked the Suzzipad. The cold packs slide into the mitts and booties easily. The mitts fit really well... the booties are a little small and we bought the larger size so be forewarned. My husband wears a size 11 shoe normally, average width feet. His feet do fit in these, just barely, but because he barely fits them, it's hard to get the heel cold pad into its pocket (not that I think that particular cold pack is vital anyway). If your feet are bigger than Men's 11, I think you might struggle with the booties. The cold packs are nicely packaged in separate storage bags which makes it easy to freeze them and keep them all together and since it's a thick plastic, you can write your name on it easily for cold storage at your chemo facility. They stay very cold for at least an hour, but I recommend getting two sets of these anyway, because delays occur frequently and we often have to change out cold packs mid-infusion. I'm on the fence about the hat. It can't be frozen, only refrigerated and it doesn't stay cold as long. What I end up doing is having him wear one for about 10-15 minutes, then I pop it into our cooler and stuff it full of the spare ice packs and put the second hat on him for 15 minutes. I continue this rotation throughout the infusion. I also bought additional small ice packs to put under the hat during later rotations. The hat is comfortable and easy to put on. All pieces seem to be well constructed and so far have been doing the job. I would purchase again.

I'm going through chemotherapy right now, and am using this on my hands and feet to combat peripheral neuropathy from Paclitaxel. I'm using a professional grade cold cap instead of the one included in this set, but will consider this for pre- or post- cooling in subsequent treatments.The main thing to know is the ice packs do only last about an hour for me. I got spares so that I can keep my hands and feet cold for the whole duration. I can just about manage getting the mitts on myself, but I typically need help with my feet. I wear socks underneath to protect my skin a little, and may start wearing thin cotton gloves on my hands to reduce the amount of pain.I've found the best way to load the ice packs is: Hands: load both sides, slip hands in, fasten straps.Feet: insert top and bottom, put on, and only then get someone to help load the heel and fasten.The other thing is, these mitts are really, really clumsy to work with, and I have a 3 hour infusion. I'm not great at sitting still and doing nothing. So I'm using this in combination with PICKSY Compact Sticky Picker-Upper to hold the phone, The Friendly Swede pencil-length stylus to operate the screen, and an EazyHold Grip Assist to keep the stylus attached - I'm using 6.5" (Aqua) but could use a larger size if they had one. It works to unlock my phone and type slowly, and I can read ebooks at a normal pace.

You have chemo, headaches or eye strains this is an awesome thing to have. Great ice packs for neuropathy.

Not exactly a fashion statement :) but who cares? I mean, I’m bald, after all, but spared any signs of neuropathy. Before your chemo infusion you just pop them into the freezer overnight and travel with them in their nifty little freezer bag to your infusion appointments. Before putting them on, I would set up my headphones and audio book (impossible to do so after you put them on) and don two pairs of fluffy socks on my hands and feet, then the suzipads. My feet are LARGE (size 11s) and they fit fine. Just fyi, you can’t walk in the booties. Just slip them off for brief moments to take care of business, then slip them back on for the rest of the infusion period. Mine came with a cool cap as well. It is not intended for hair preservation, but very effective for relieving headaches.

The first time I used this set, I felt as though it doesn’t keep cold long enough to last my entire 1 hour of chemo. The cap probably lasts 20 minutes at best. The ice packs lasted around 30 minutes. So, now I put them in the freezer as I get back home. Perhaps you could freeze 24 hrs in advance to ensure the ice packs last at least 40 to 50 minutes, but sorry, the cap won’t last more than 20-30 minutes, period.

This product does what I is suppose to do it is very easy.It fits as said it would hold the coolness’s ,it provides relief and works great.

No cap included, no socks included. The only thing in the package was mittens, with two sets of gel packs for the mittens. I desperately needed these and believed the package picture that they would all be there...missed having them for chemo treatment.... now here it is two weeks later.... and I'm losing my hair.....UGH! Another treatment coming up.... now what?
