Bandaging is one of those jobs that sounds simple until you're doing it around a knee in the half dark before work. Get it slightly off and you've created a pressure point in the exact spot you were trying to protect.

That's the bit the Gel-Eze Under Bandage takes care of. It's a soft gel pad that sits between the leg and the bandage, so the pressure spreads out evenly instead of digging in anywhere. The gel moulds around the shape of the leg and soaks up impact, which makes wrapping the fiddly spots a lot less nerve-wracking.

It's the original Gel-Eze pad, and it's the kind of thing that ends up living permanently in the float once you've got one.

Chill it in the fridge or freezer for a bit and it becomes a cold compress instead. Good after a hard session, or a day on ground that turned out firmer than you were hoping for. Because it wraps rather than sits, you can actually get cold onto the awkward places like knees and fetlocks, which ice packs are hopeless at.

The gel itself is non-toxic and washable, so it just gets hosed off and used again. No wadding to replace, nothing to throw out.
