Does IcePlate Work with my Plate Carrier? Plate Carrier Compatibility Chart for IcePlate

***NOTE: this article is for the original IcePlate Classic only. This article does not apply to IcePlate Curve because IcePlate Curve is universally compatible with any Medium ESAPI plate carrier. For a detailed compare and contrast for IcePlate Classic vs IcePlate Curve, click here.***

This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Qore Performance. We consolidated this information into a single living (continuously updated) resource to help answer this question for the entire IcePlate Community. 

This IcePlate/Plate Carrier Compatibility Chart is a community asset. The more people who contribute their knowledge/experience, the more valuable it becomes to the IcePlate Community. Think big data/machine learning but for IceAge Insights.

A few minutes of your time could help one of our brothers or sisters go home at the end of their shift because they were ready and alert when it mattered most. This is the very essence of #StayFrosty: "don’t be complacent, be humble, keep getting better, perfect the basics (credit: @breachpen)"

If you don't see your plate carrier on this chart, please email us your knowledge/experience with your specific IcePlate/Plate Carrier/armor combo. If you include pictures and we use them on this post, then we'll even send you some free swag on us as a thank you for your time! We'll add this new info to the chart for the benefit of the entire community.

Specific plate carrier compatibility articles:
Ferro Concepts Slickster
Crye Precision JPC 2.0, SPC, and AVS (zip-on back panels)

We've assembled this chart from three main data sources:

1. First hand experience: knowledge accumulated on plate carriers and armor systems we own ourselves, we've personally used on duty or during our own R&D testing at Qore Performance.

2. Customer feedback: when customers have reported their experiences with IcePlate and their specific plate carrier directly to us.

3. Industry: we have relationships with a number of manufacturers in the industry who have and use IcePlates with their plate carriers, then share their compatibility experiences with us.
