Re: [RC] post-ride leg care - product questions - Jim SimpsonI have found a product for cooling legs called "Extenda Cool". They are the greatest thing since peanut butter. They are a disposable thin gel sheet (about the size of a 12x12 square of felt). They are disposable and come 2 to a pack. They don't have to be frozen prior to use (although you can) and apply a nice even cold to the leg. I've had them stay cold up to 6 hours just out of the pack. (longer if I throw them in the freezer first.). They kind of just stick to the leg and aren't bulky so I can use sports medicine boots, track wraps, or what ever over the top. They are very economical to use and can be just tossed on to the trailer and forgotten about until use. I am forever finding my ice sheets melted by the time I want to use them, cooling unevenly or just plain forgetting to grab them out of my house freezer before I leave.

Also is it necessary to wrap plastic wrap around a poultice? Would applying liniment to the legs cause a problem if shipping boots are applied afterwards? Some products (I think absorbine and blue lotion) recommend not wrapping because of the build up of heat the product makes and maybe blistering of skin?? I'm not sure about this, so if anyone knows please let me know.
