Why would you want to stay cool when it is cold outside?
Susie Hadas has created an invaluable tool for women, men and children: coldfront® a portable personal cooling system. To read an interview about Susie and cold front, visit MommiesFirst. MommiesFirst hosts a “Help Mama” series on their blog every Monday featuring a company that aims to help make the lives of a Mom a wee bit easier. coldfront does just that and for so many reasons!
What is coldfront?
coldfront is a system that provides you with instant personal cooling anytime, anywhere.
This system is truly genius as far as I am concerned.
Here is how it works:
- Put the entire zipped up hard case containing the two cold packs in the freezer for 12 hours.
- If you are heading out somewhere, bring the hard case with you. You never know when you will need instant cold relief.
- When you need relief, open kit and remove one of, or both of the palm packs.
- Provide immediate cold relief wherever you need it most.
- Put the palm pack back in the case, zip it up and put coldfront back into your bag. coldfront will recool the palm packs within 20 minutes, and the entire kit will last up to 12 hours.
What is coldfront used for?
- hot/warm flashes
- fevers
- boo boos
- hot summer days
- while on vacation
We put coldfront to the test when we first received it as we were heading out on a road trip the next day. I placed the coldfront hard case with the palm packs inside into the freezer over night and in the morning, I packed it in my purse. We were heading out on a 4 hour road trip and often my husband will start to get tired when driving. Instead of reaching for the bag of snacks to keep him awake, I reached into my purse, unzipped the coldfront case and put one of the palm packs on his neck. The cold sensation wakened up his senses enough to keep him driving safely, it was amazing.
I have had the coldfront system for a couple of months now and I can’t tell you what a huge fan I am. I LOVE that just because you use it once doesn’t mean that it is done. It literally does take 20 minutes to “recharge” and you are ready to go with another cooling session. I also love that the hard case is designed specifically so that there is no sweating of the product. The palm packs stay soft and dry while protected in a hard case.
I will be using this coldfront system for my migraines, when my kids get fevers, for boo-boos that need immediate attention and for cooling this hot Mama down in the summer because I over heat quickly!

I heat up easily and this would offer some quick relief.
I would totally use it to bring down swelling!
Yes! These packs would definitely help with that 🙂
Yes they definitely would 🙂
I was put into surgical menopause and having been having to deal with hot flashes so this looks like it would be a very helpful product. Love that it would be easy to take-along and that it stays cold for a long time!
I would definitely keep this product for me, would help cool down when hot and also handy to have on hand in case of injuries when away from home.
Would use this for so many things!!
My son and I are accident prone. This would be nice to soothe little bumps!
Wow this is great…I’m 49 and feeling the heat ha ha so I would use it often, but would share with my family for the booboos that happen 🙂
hot, hot springs and summers – this would help. thanks
My gang of four are always getting bumps and bruises so this would be good to have on hand.

Definitely due to migraine, great travel kit to help!
Id use this when we are out playing soccer (if needed)
I would use this for myself and for my son. I suffer from headaches and sometimes cold on my neck helps.
i could sure use this in my home always someone with aches and pains
I am a chronic pain sufferer, and need relief daily.
This would be a great product for me.
I would LOVE a coldfront pack for myself as I use ice packs often related to headaches and migraines. This pack sounds awesome and so convientent.
I would use for myself and for my children when they get fever and my husband to put under his cap when he is working hard outside in the hot weather
i would use it for myself!!! for the hot summer months this could definitely come in handy especially when i go for long walks with my daughter
THis would be perfect to help keep my husband alert when driving
this would help me as i always have hot flashes especially in winter when im in my coat and walk into the mall i overheat quite quickly
I would mostly use it for my kids.We would use it for soccer and road trips.
My mom would love this!
My mom would use it for her hot flashes!
i would love this for my hyperhidrosis.
for headaches
I would probably use it to help reduce swelling and for bumps/bruises on the kids.
I’d have to first loan them to my daughter who is 6 months pregnant.
With the summer heat coming… I would love this, as I don’t tolerate it well and often end up with extreme headaches when over heated
That is exciting, Darlene! Congratulations!

Yes I’m a fan of MommiesFirstBox! To be honest, your kind words and generosity are amazing and supportive enough.

Those feelings of guilt are so hard! But, it wasn’t your fault, you HAVE to remember that!!! What is your @twittername? IF you want to share!
I don’t feel guilty about the event. I know, nothing stops SIDS. I feel guilty for more personal reasons… i’m @mistygirle on twitter
It is so worth it, I have one and love mine
I would give it to my mom. She suffers from severe hot flashes due to menopause.
I’d use this myself, for when I’m overheated when I’m trying to sleep at night!

My Mom doesn’t have air conditioning. This would be a great option for her in hot weather!
I would use this most for me when I have migraines.

I would give it to my mother to help with her year round heat waves lol
My brother could really use this as a great accessory for attending his kids’ soccer matches where they always get all sorts of cut, bumps and bruises!

This would be great for my niece – she is a gymnast and needs icing after every workout.
I’d give this to my husband to use so we don’t have to use the air conditioner so much!
Sounds like a good thing to have for hot flashes.
