Aerborn Coolsport Leg Boot - Also in NL

[measles]

Has anyone used these boots and do they fit, stay in place, stay cool and re-cool etc?

I need to get something quickly so thoughts appreciated! If you have tried something else that worked (other than hosing!) I'd like to hear about it!

Yes, I have a pair. They do stay in place & are cool...However, not really certain that they stay cool for much longer than about 20 mins. You really need to soak them for a good hour or longer to get them cool in the first place.

Most people recommend 20mins cooling cycles anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem, same for hosing. On for 20mins, off for a bit (20mins-1 hour), on for 20mins again if required

yes - i have them. love them - soak for an hour and then leave on for 20-30 mins.

I use (for 20 min after XC) frozen ice packs (large ice mat size, and bought in homeware shop for 3.50 each), and bandaged in place.

Slightly fiddlier undoubtedly, but the ice pack def stays very cold for hours.

Started to do this when my old puffa coolboots fell apart and I couldn't get a replacement, but find its just as good.

I find that you have to keep the Coolsport boots moist otherwise the gel seems to granulate and it doesn't come back quite as good as before. I prefer the Puffa or HorseSaver cool boots.
