FAQs

When the media reported on the presence of BPA in Polycarbonate bottles we were already switching our bottle line over to the revolutionary new BPA Free material Tritan™. In fact we were among the first in the industry to utilize this new material. We also manufacture in other BPA free materials such as Polypropylene and PCTG. Our entire line is BPA free and Phthalate safe. Please note that the number 7 recycle symbol includes many other plastics that do not fall into their own category. Our new copolyester named Tritan™, which is produced by Eastman Chemical is recycle #7, but is BPA free. As a company we are Phthalate and Lead safe, which includes our packaging.

Yes, our freezer gel is non-toxic, and is compliant under the Code of Federal Regulations as well as the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The freezer sticks should be washed by hand, and should not be placed in the microwave.

Go Gear is made from FDA approved Silicone and it is compatible with a wide range of products. Our silicone is high grade but no material is completely invulnerable. We always recommend testing your travel products overnight in Cool Gear Travel Tubes. Not all products are compatible with our Travel Tubes.

The following products are not recommended to be used with Cool Gear Travel Tubes: Silicone based personal lubricants; Sterile products; Food products; Household cleaning products; Harsh chemicals (corrosive or caustic); Flammable products; Alcohol or alcohol based products; Insect repellents containing DEET; Salicylic acid based products; Argan Oil based products; and Shampoos and conditioners with hair treatments (like shine/color enhancers and volumizers).

The following products should always be tested overnight: Sunscreens; Sun tan lotions; Almond butter based products; Essential oil based products; Oil based skin lotions; Non-silicone based personal lubricants; Essential oils based products.

If your product is incompatible, it will typically do one of the following: sweat out through the silicone tube; evaporate completely through the silicone wall, often leaving the silicone hardened; or wicks moisture from your product leaving it dry or pasty.

Please contact Cool Gear immediately if you find an undesirable reaction in our tubes from your product.

Cool Gear stands behind our products. If Go Gear fails to meet expected performance through normal usage, please send an email to customerservice@coolgearinc.com with a description of the type of failure and exact product used inside the Go Gear Tube. Cool Gear will send a replacement tube of similar size and color (if available) as a replacement.

Yes, the only components that should go in the freezer are the ones that contain freezer gel. All other pieces should be stored elsewhere.

On most of our water bottles, the freezer stick is held in place by the twist and lock feature – It just needs to be twisted a bit in one direction, and then pulled out of the cap collar. It’s sometimes a bit tough to remove the first time. Often times, wiggling it a bit as you’re pulling it out is helpful.

On some models, the freezer sticks are threaded and just need to be twisted until they come out.

We recommend leaving the freezer stick in the freezer for at least 4 hours before use.

The freezer stick can be stored in the freezer whenever you're not using it. There is no time limit.
