Odin Plunge Review
Discontinued. Odin Plunge no longer trades as a brand. A similar current tub is The Plunge. See our current best cold plunges list.
Status, November 3, 2026: No longer trading. Odin Plunge no longer operates as a brand. Its website doesn’t load and we found no current listing, so the models, prices and lead times below are a 2023 record only. For tubs with prices we checked in November 2026, see Best cold plunges.
How we make money: MoveWell may earn a commission if you buy through some links on this site, at no extra cost to you. Commission doesn’t affect what we recommend, and no brand can pay for a spot.
What the Odin Plunge is
In 2023 the Odin Plunge was a handmade wooden cold plunge with a built-in chiller, made in Australia and shipped internationally. Odin claimed a low of 32°F (0°C).
Models and prices in 2023
Prices were in Australian dollars. We have removed the 2023 US dollar conversions because exchange rates have changed.
| Model (2023) | Size (L × W × H, mm) | Who it was for | Price in 2023 (AUD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odin Original | 1300 × 1250 × 650 | Most people up to about 6 ft 2 in | $6,900 |
| Odin XL | 1600 × 1400 × 650 | Taller people, or more room | $8,200 |
| Odin Dual | 1900 × 1600 × 650 | Two people at once | $9,200 |
| Pro versions of each | Same sizes | Commercial or repeated use | $1,000 more than the standard model |
In 2023 the standard models used a 1/4 HP chiller and the Pro versions a 1/2 HP chiller. Odin said the Pro returned to temperature 10 to 15 minutes after use, against 45 to 60 minutes for the standard model. It offered a 50% deposit with the balance due on delivery, interest-free finance in Australia, and quoted lead times of 10 to 16 weeks.
We removed the claim that Odin was the only cedar ice bath on the market, which isn’t true now.
What the evidence says
Cold-water immersion after hard exercise reduces soreness and helps power recover1. Plunging straight after lifting may blunt muscle growth2. No tub has better evidence than another. Don’t plunge alone, and check with a doctor first if you have heart disease or high blood pressure3.
