I once recommended Smartwool socks on this forum and that's
the one thing folks mention most. I still love my Smartwool
socks and my gear reviews are simply honest opinions of
products I've used.

Well, right now, I highly recommend the shoulder sling ice pack by Ezy
Wrap. Plenty of belt room to wrap around even the biggest guy and
keep it secure. Get an extra set of ice pack inserts and keep these
in an old fashioned (non-frost free) freezer. That way you can switch
them out, with an hour being good freezing time.
Additionally, save all that Carribean cruise money and just use
Betadine solution for a quick tan in a bottle. It's cheap and the
docs will give you the left overs from any surgery. Hell, you won't
even get sea sick or legionaires disease. Doonesbury's B.D. had to
start somewhere and I think this is it.
