How to Set Up Your Narwhals for Palm Cooling on the Road
No freezer, no problem!You don’t always have access to a freezer when traveling to games, competitions, or on vacation. But that doesn’t mean you have to leave palm cooling gains on the table!While we recommend freezing your Cool-not-Cold® packs in the freezer, you can use your Narwhals for palm cooling when you're on the road with a few tweaks.
- Cover your Cool-not-Cold packs with ice. You can use a hotel ice bucket or place them in the ice machine in your team’s locker room.
- Give them 4 hours to freeze solid.
- Place the packs in the Narwhals and fill them with cold water. Ideally, use refrigerated water, which is around 40°F (4°C) or keep a bottle of water on top of the ice with the CNC packs
The reason you need to adjust the fill temperature when you freeze your packs with ice versus the freezer is that the packs are only getting to 32°F (0°C). When you freeze them in a freezer, they reach 0°F (-18°C).The water temperature adjustment accounts for this difference and ensures the handles of the Narwhals will maintain the correct temperature for palm cooling.
