Navaris Horse Cooling Leg Wraps (Ice Boots) – Robust, One Size Fits All, 2 Pack
Product description
What they are and why you’d use them
Navaris Horse Cooling Leg Wraps are ice boots designed to deliver cold therapy around a horse’s leg after work, during recovery, or whenever cooling is part of your routine. They’re set up as “ice pack” wraps rather than a rigid boot: you freeze the packs, then secure them around the leg using elastic fasteners.
On paper, the appeal is straightforward: you get a reusable system you can apply quickly, with a flexible frozen pack that’s meant to stay comfortable as it conforms to the leg. The manufacturer also positions it as durable, with a thick synthetic blend intended to cope with everyday handling.
If you’re looking for something to keep in the tack room or home setup, this type of cooling wrap tends to be a practical middle ground: not the most complicated kit, but more structured than a DIY approach with loose ice packs.
The essentials of fit and application
These are one size fits all wraps, with an intended coverage of 40cm (16") of a leg. That coverage detail matters because it sets expectations: it’s designed to wrap a section of the limb, not necessarily the entire lower leg from top to bottom.
Application is a simple two-step process. You place the ice pack in the freezer until frozen, then secure it around the leg using the elastic strap/fasteners. The pack is described as remaining flexible and soft even when frozen, which is a big deal in use—rigid ice boots can feel awkward or pressure-heavy if they don’t mould well.
It’s also worth noting the comfort caveat: some horses may need a small layer of fabric between the ice pack and the skin. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s one more thing to consider if your horse is sensitive or you prefer to avoid any direct contact.
What you’ll notice day to day (and what may not be perfect)
The “robust and durable” angle is central here. The packs are made from a thick synthetic blend, designed to withstand rough treatment without breaking or leaking. That’s the sort of reassurance you want if you’ve ever had flimsy ice products that split after repeated use.
The trade-off is that you’re still working with an ice-cooling system that relies on fit and secure fastening. If a horse’s leg shape or your positioning means the coverage is tight or uneven, it may not sit as snugly as you’d hope. The one-size approach helps reduce hassle for owners with more than one horse, but it can also mean some horses get a slightly better fit than others.
A practical micro-use example: imagine you’ve finished a short schooling session and want to cool up quickly before turnout. You can freeze the packs in advance, then apply them promptly after work without needing to hunt around for disposable options—once they’re secured, they’ll stay in place thanks to the elastic strap.
Durability and “long-lasting” expectations
Navaris states that with proper care, you can expect at least 3 years of use from each set. That’s a useful benchmark if you’re trying to decide whether to buy once and keep it, rather than replacing cooling items frequently.
Bear in mind that “proper care” isn’t defined in the provided details, so results will depend quite a lot on how you store them, how you manage the freezing and handling, and whether they’re exposed to unnecessary wear.
Who it suits best (and who should be cautious)
It’s a good fit if you want a reusable cooling wrap system that’s easy to apply, covers a leg section (40cm / 16") and stays flexible even frozen. It also suits owners who prefer a straightforward setup: freeze, wrap, secure.
It may not be for you if you’re after a more tailored boot-style fit for a very specific limb shape, or if you know your horse dislikes compression even when the material is described as flexible. Also, if you don’t have a freezer ready to keep packs frozen ahead of time, the “freeze then apply” method can become inconvenient.

Is it worth it?
Navaris Horse Cooling Leg Wraps are worth considering if you want a reusable, freezer-based cooling solution that’s built around a comfortable, flexible frozen pack and a durable synthetic design. The one size fits all concept also keeps things simple, especially if you’re managing more than one horse.
However, it might not be the best choice if you need a fully custom fit across the entire lower limb, or if you’re expecting a product that “just works” for every horse without any potential adjustment. If comfort is your biggest priority, do factor in the possibility of using a thin fabric layer between the ice pack and skin.
