Abstract
A modular shoulder cooling system. A retention panel is affixed over the shoulder. The retention panel is hald in position by a pair of straps attached to a belt around the user's waist. At least a portion of the inward facing surface of the retention panel is covered in loop material. Bags containing cooling medium are furnished. These are referred to as “cold packs.” Each cold pack has a first side with a soft, tactilly pleasing surface. This first surface is intended to face the user. Each cold pack also has a second side intented to face the inward facing surface of the retention panel. This second side includes one or more hook panels configured to engage the loop material on the inward facing surface of the retention panel. The user can attach a cold pack or packs to the rentention panel by pressing the hook panels on each cold pack against the loop material on the retention panel. Thus, no pockets are required.
