If we heard it once, we heard it a hundred times from the Operators we interviewed: “ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain.” So the design of typical water bladders, with the exit port above the bottom of the water tank, means carrying around 2-3 ounces of, well, pain that will not drain. That waste means not only the extra weight of that water that does nothing for you, but also a perpetual bacteria-rich environment in your drinking source. Of course, cleaning this cesspool is supposedly simple, provided you can fashion a tripod from coat hangers and zipties, add a potion concocted from chemicals you have no interest in tasting, then have an hour every night to scrub it all with your auxiliary toothbrush (that you keep in a special antimicrobial case). If you do all that diligently (at the end of your 20 hour day), then just maybe you will avoid poisoning yourself when you drink your water tomorrow.
To hell with all that. We put the exit nozzle at the bottom, then slanted the bottom toward the drain so you get every drop of the water you’re carrying out of the IcePlate®. Zero cesspools, zero wasted water weight. TotalDrain Technology is simple, saves time, and just might save your life.
Only had a few days. Not sure the longevity of this. Seems like it’s well made but may not last. Especially for the price of it. I am hopeful.
Hi Chris, thanks for giving ICEVENTS® a try and for sharing your initial thoughts so quickly. We notice you mentioned you've only had it for a few days—totally understand that real durability takes time to evaluate. That’s why we don’t rely on speculation—we rely on data.
ICEVENTS® are built from a proprietary thermoplastic elastomer that has survived tens of millions of hours of real-world duty use. Here's a quick durability demo if you're curious: https://youtube.com/shorts/oOfeGSQ7Di4?si=P8k6L0ZqXBC50RS-
Great product & great support from Qore team.
I ordered 2 flask and a side panel. Panel works perfectly with my LBT PC and flask when properly fitted properly can be easily removed and replaced. Also tested the flask within a PRC radio pouch and it fits perfectly too.
Got a problem with delivery but Will from Qore team handle it quickly, cheers for him !
Can only recommand !
I wore this the other day during an all day match with my M&P 2.0 in a safariland holster and I had zero discomfort. Before I installed the Holster Pad I would have a hotspot on my leg where the holster would rub. I highly recommend this.
I love the flask and locking holster concept. Have no issues at all. The only thing I don't care for it the Velcro MOLLE strap it came with. It'd be better as a button or buckle. Having to just weave one small strap on one side of the holster is difficult to Velcro after woven.
Hi Jared,
Thank you for taking the time to share an honest account of your ICEFLASK™ experience. As noted in the Instruction video, the MOLLE Holster is supposed to be secured by weaving two Velcro® OneWrap® through the MOLLE, not one. We demonstrate this in the video and show how it is incredibly easy and takes just a second or two.
From army of asian country with high humidity and temperatures
I've tried this gear in training and it has helped me stay more comfortable and perform at a higher level for longer than others. I am grateful for this equipment.
Really clever design, love that it lays flat versus rolls around like all my other water bottles. I use it at the gym and it’s become my favorite water bottle, hands down. Great job QORE
Stumbled across this product , and instantly said yup . What can’t it do , but the Coke cap replacement ! Hopefully someone got a raise. Perfect for hiking and keeping one in my truck .
Obtained a set to attach to front plate on Crye JPC 2.0. Adds comfort to front plate on chest and shoulders and relieves pressure on chest. Feels good to wear, can wear carrier for longer periods of time.
