Coldpacks, chemical agent that reacts upon contact generating and endothermic reaction.  
More simply, you crack up this plastic bag, like a glowstick, and becomes ice-cold. In Cata it could be use to cure traumas or lowering body temperature in case of influenza.  
Hotpacks as for the above but will produce heat instead, may be used to restore frostbitten bodyparts or to keep the body warm while sleeping.

We already have heatpack, not sure about cold pack though.

Heatpacks are more like an instant campfire, unless i want to cauterize a lost limb I won’t use them to remove the frostbitten status from my face 😛

I want icepacks for pain relief. And cold drinks. That’s it.  
And maybe instantly cool one body part of choice…

I wasn’t aware that you could use hotpacks for warming yourself, unless something changed since 0.8. It always prompted me with an item
