ICEVENTS® Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads are 100% made in the USA from US materials

Jump to Section

[ OVERVIEW ]

ICEVENTS® Shoulder Pads bring load carrying and ventilation to the next level at an incredibly light weight.

BLUF:
ICEVENTS® Aero are for lighter, minimalist plate carrier setups, SOF and SWAT type applications.
ICEVENTS® Classic are for heavy, full duty/conventional combat loads loads and similar.

What is the difference between ICEVENTS® Classic and ICEVENTS® Aero plate carrier shoulder pads? (Deep Dive)

FAQ: Yes, ICEVENTS® products can be trimmed. We do not recommend this because you lose the super clean factory edge finish (and warranty, obviously), but if this doesn't matter to you, trim away.

*IMPORTANT NOTE ON APPLICATION/UNIFORM/APPAREL: Due to ICEVENTS® unique omnidirectional ventilation architecture and full width profile for heavy loads, ICEVENTS® Classic Shoulder Pads are designed to be worn with Combat Shirts and other duty-type uniforms with collars. Some users might be able to wear ICEVENTS® Classic with a t-shirt or other non-collared shirt depending on exact body type, setup preferences, and field worthiness. However, wearing ICEVENTS® Classic without a collar is not recommended. For shirts without a collar and/or lighter loads, we recommend ICEVENTS® Aero Minimalist Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads.

ICEVENTS® Classic Shoulder Pads are recommended for heavier, more protective plate carriers worn with full duty uniforms. If you are running a t-shirt or other low-collar shirt, we recommend ICEVENTS® Aero Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads.

These pads are good if you’re wearing a kit that’s minimalist in nature. Once you start adding a considerable amount of weight to the plate carrier, these pads simply don’t have enough padding and do not disperse the weight far enough to relieve pressure points. Great product, love the company but if you’re wearing anything more than a basic loadout I’d recommend a different product.

Work great on my kit and keep the shoulders cool.

Expensive but good

Would give it 5 stars if it was priced 30% less. Good product but seems overpriced a bit for what it seemingly is.

Great pads for the AVS!!!

I would definitely recommend these pads for the AVS. They feel great and the Aero style makes it even better. Takes a lot of the weight and it’s good for airflow.

Icevents shoulder pads

Distributes the weight of my outer carrier vest very well and back and shoulders aren’t as fatigued after a 10 hour shift

Shoulder pads for DM MEPC

Easy install! Great fit! Very comfortable!

Weight distribution and breathable

The breathability of the ice vents feel amazing on the issued MSV as well as my personal Spiritus systems LV-119, and the weight distribution makes me feel like nothing is on my shoulders at all.

ICEVENTS® Classic Heavy Loadout Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads (PowerMesh backing)

Great upgrade

Good addition to the rig. Easy installation and stays where you put it. Makes the rig feel less encumbered.

Just what I needed.

Bought these for my Crye JPC 2.0. Quick to ship easy to install on my carrier and I love them they made the footprint of the shoulder straps wider which I find more comfortable and feel like real quality materials. I showed the other guys in my platoon and now everyone with a Crye is working on getting a set. They are a real game changer especially being here in the desert also made kit runs a touch more comfortable.
