Overview
The Ice Barrel 300 is a compact, fully insulated cold therapy tool designed to make ice baths accessible and efficient for at-home use. Unlike the taller 400 series, the 300 features a shorter, wider profile that allows for easy entry and exit without a step stool. Proudly manufactured in Ohio, USA, from 100% recycled materials, it is engineered to maintain cold temperatures in warm climates and is "chiller ready" for those looking to upgrade to a permanent cooling system.
