Do the cold packs freeze solid or do they remain soft when frozen?  I understand they are flexible, but is that just because it is multiple pieces with flexibility between?

Just wondering about taking a shot with this on.  Thinking a solid block of ice is just one more thing to transfer impact back to me.

I've been wearing it the last two summers.  Haven't noticed a thing other than blissfull heat transfer.

They are a flexible matrix of frozen solid pouches.  They do have a stiffness such that they have a bend if not perfectly frozen flat, but they do yield when you bend them into shape to fit in the pouch.
