Hi William,
Thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review of your ICEVENTS® experience. Two quick notes that will hopefully be helpful for you:
1. Previous generations of ICEVENTS® Pontoons were thicker, but customers complained that they were 'too thick' and wanted a thinner profile. We obliged.
2. ICEVENTS® significantly boost evaporative 'thermoregulation' but they will not make you 'feel' cool.' Here are the two articles from our INSIGHTS blog with the science and engineering deep dives behind ICEVENTS® real world performance against legacy materials and what to expect:

3. For max airflow, push your ICEVENTS® all the way to the edges of your carrier.
We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Sean,
Here is an article from our INSIGHTS blog with the empirical data comparing the energy transfer on various plate carriers with and without ICEVENTS® present. As you can see from the data, ICEVENTS® are a minimum of 11.35% more efficient than a plate carrier without ICEVENTS® on the low end and 154.32% more efficient than a plate carrier without ICEVENTS® on the high end, for this sample set. TLDR: ICEVENTS® are empirically provent to remove heat from plate carrier/body interfaces.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to share an honest account of your ICEVENTS® Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoon experience. ICEVENTS®, like all Qore Performance products, are designed and engineered for elite, discerning, performance-minded end-users who are looking for every possible competitive advantage in the field. As such, our products are built for maximum performance. They are not built with corporate cost targets in mind. There are plenty of other companies who are good, even great, at building products for cost and not performance. Also, as mentioned on the product page, ICEVENTS® work using the principle of convection, facilitating normal function of your natural thermoregulation mechanism: sweating. Sweat evaporating from the surface of your skin is nearly imperceptible to the conscious mind. By contrast, the feeling of a block of ice against your skin is extremely noticeable even in the most intense heat found on earth. It sounds like you would prefer an experience with greater contrast. If this is the case, our ICEPLATE® Curve is definitely the better product for you over ICEVENTS®. See above on this product page for more details on ICEPLATE® vs. ICEVENTS®. We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty
