Any experience in using Frio bags? It is going to be used for insulin pens.

I am currently on the Norte, using Frio bags for my insulin, which is in 3ml penfill tubes. As I have an extended stay after walking, and I'm a Type 1 Diabetic, I'm carrying a lot of insulin! So far, the Frio's have been good. I have a couple of temperature monitors in my Frios, and everything has been within tolerance, so far.

I used a Frio for pens of short term and vials of long term for a month (April/May). No problems. I considered storing it in albergues refridgerators during the nights but I don't think I ever did.'Just couldn't trust that it wouldn't disappear or more likely, that I'd forget it.

I was more concerned about having open blisters on my feet in the community showers.

Blisters are definitely not inevitable. I've had two small ones in the last 7 Caminos.
