PACK IT YOUR WAY

These are reference points, not requirements. How much NUGSAX you use depends on what is already in your cooler and how much of the remaining space you want to fill.

Traditional ice comparisons are approximate and refer to occupied cooler volume, not cooling-performance equivalency. Cooler recommendations are general reference points and depend on how your cooler is packed.

What is Nugsax reusable ice made of?

NUGSAX cubes are BPA free and made from food-safe LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and filled with filtered water. They are completely safe for everyday use.

How many reusable ice cubes come in a bag?

With our original bag 100 and with our Big Sax XL 300.

How long do Nugsax stay cool?

Nugsax keep your food and drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Results vary based on outside temperature, cooler quality, and how often you're opening that lid to grab another cold one.

Can I put my Reusable Ice in drinks or are they just for coolers?

You most definitely can, you just want to make sure it's not a hot beverage. Cold only.

How do I clean my Nugsax?

Rinse with warm water, dish soap, pat dry the nugs with a towel and hang dry the bag, and stop overthinking it. Our materials are designed to handle many of the messes your weekend adventures create. Just don't put them in the dishwasher—that's asking for trouble. Learn More

We stand behind our products 100%. If you're not completely satisfied within 30 days of purchase, we'll make it right. Learn More

Customer video review of The Big Sax - (XL) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

I'm very pleased with how long these nug sacks last, they definitely were a little expensive, but totally worth it! I definitely will be purchasing again in the future!

The Big Sax - (XL) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

These are the coolest thing ever! So glad we came across this brand. We especially love how our drinks are not dripping water when we pull them out of the cooler. Definitely recommend NugSax!

The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

The product is good, used it once in a backpack cooler, love that it ia easy clean up. The customer service is GREAT! There was an issue with my order. I reached out and they quickly responded and rectified the situation.

The Foursome - (4 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

I absolutely love these! The concept is awesome and they actually work! They keep coolers cold without any watery mess, and I have used some individual nuggets to keep dishes cold when I need to transport food to a friend or family's house for get togethers. It was quite genius to have such a nice, well-made zippered bag to keep them in and be able to take out just what you need to use at a time and be able to return them to the bag later. I have given several as gifts and all the recipients have been very pleased to get them! I will be purchasing more! Thank you for such a smart product!!

Customer photo review of The Trio - (3 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

First time using today and they worked great! Leftover drinks were still cold by the end of the day, and no water to drain from the cooler!

The Trio - (3 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Store owner replied: Thank you Ashley! We love the feedback.

Loved the product very much! Wished it would keep the beverages a little colder. The best way to do it is to pre-cool your cooler and pre-cool the beverages. Then Nugsax will work all day.

The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Store owner replied: Thank you for the honest feedback Eddie! Much appreciated.

I ordered NugSax and honestly did not expect to be this impressed. They work better than any ice pack I have ever used. Drinks stayed cold all day without the usual soggy mess from melting ice. They are simple to fill, easy to clean, and fit perfectly in my cooler. The packaging was great and shipping was fast. You can tell the company really cares about quality. I have already told my friends about NugSax and will never go back to regular ice again.

Store owner replied: Thanks RH - Great to hear. We designed NUGSAX to be a premium experience and love that you are having that.

Great experience with NugSax. Solid quality, exactly as advertised, and clearly well made. Ordering was quick and easy, which I really appreciated. Delivery was on time. Would definitely recommend and will be buying again.

The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Great product. Makes trips to the lake or beach with packed coolers so much easier especially for a whole day of use. Also works great cleaning them off and throwing some in a whiskey glass for a cold pour! Love it.

Customer photo review of The Foursome - (4 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Love them! Used the, for the first time last weekend and they were great. Kept the keep cold and didn’t have to drain and dry out the bag when I got home. The 2 pack was perfect for a small cooler bag/lunch box. The material of the cubes feels high quality compared to other products.

Customer photo review of The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Love the concept behind these! I have already used them to keep drinks cold during a party and in my cooler on a camping trip without the messy melting water getting things soggy. Super happy!

Store owner replied: We love to hear it! Thanks for the review.

Customer photo review of The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Great product. Really well made. Stays cold all day long, even in a soft cooler on hot turf fields in Southern California. Really impressive. All of our friends have been asking where to get them!

Customer photo review of The Trio - (3 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

What a great idea. We bought three and are going to give two as housewarming gifts. Each bag is loaded with 100 nugs, so keeping one meets our needs. Worked perfectly keeping our refreshments cold. No melted water mess. Price is very reasonable as an ice replacement.

The Trio - (3 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

I am excited to use these nugsax next weekend when we go on a road trip. I am impressed so far but will know more after next weekend.

The Original NUGSAX® Foursome - (4 Pack)

Haven’t used them yet but they’re frozen and ready to go. Only thing I have to say about my order is that the bags came in the dark camo and I ordered the black bags. Looking forward to using this weekend at the lake.

The Duo - (2 pack) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

I love how it keeps everything cold. It’s doing an outstanding job but having it just after two days the bag already has a hole in the bottom of it. It’s a shame because they work great. *Update*. Customer Service was great! Sent a new bag no questions asked! Thank you!

The Big Sax - (XL) Reusable Ice Cubes and Bag

Store owner replied: @eddie let us send you a replacement bag! That shouldn’t happen. Please send us your info at its@nugsax.com

Reusable ice is one of the best outdoor purchases I've made in recent memory. Keeping the sacks full of these reusable ice cubes ready to go in the freezer is convenient, and they're easy to use. Just unzip the bag, pour them into the cooler around the food, and I'm set all day.
