I want to say this seems to be a good product, however there are things that could make it better. First the pros;
- Love the design and shape going right along with the plate carrier. So much better than an odd shape water bladder.
- Love the hard, solid shape design over a soft bladder. Seems sturdy and not likely to lead like soft bladders always do.
- Really like the hose fittings and mouth pieces, better than the typical camelbak. Easy to take out the bladder and fill then re-attach.

Now to the cons.
- Low capacity. I wish the bladder was a bit thicker, closer to 1 inch thick so it is on par with the thicker ballistic plates. I wish this for two reasons, first to increase the water capacity and second so the carrier would be able to accommodate the thicker plates so you could switch out the plate and water bladder for the cooling benefit. Currently with my plates they don’t fit in the carrier for the bladder so I cannot use this for the cooling effect.

For what the product is, it is good but if there was some minor changes then it could be great.

I used the iceplate with a esstac plate carrier and a lvl 4 steel plate in the rear bag with a lvl 4 ceramic in the front bag. As well as a magazine placard. I used this set up to do the Murph workout on memorial day. I was a bit skeptical how well it would work. Here to say that I was shocked about how the iceplate lessened my fatigue throughout the workout. In my opinion Qore is making super humans with thermal regulation. I'm in the process to get one of there carriers and plate combos

Running a 5.11 TacTec with 11x14 curves, I had to take the route of the IMS Pro Sleeve for my IcePlate. Dilemma was inside vs. outside. Inside and I lose my super comfy vented pads and am forced to purchase additional padding for the long days comfort OR outside and I retain my cushions but lose nearly 4 rows of molle on sides and bottom which is valuable real-estate for my multi-day outings. I opted for the outside method and I stacked my MultiFak onto my admin toolkit as I am multi role medic and wrench/gunsmith. Slightly inconvenient should I need my tools rapidly but as with anything, we adapt to the circumstances.
Mounting is so easy a fireman can do it and the construction is phenomenal. Time will tell how it holds up to rocks and trees but I am fairly confident in Qore Performance Products... #111percentEMS

best hydration solution out there

I was super excited to receive this product and even more so to get the chance to use it in the field. I set it up on my time off base and then promptly returned to an active warzone.

The hydration pack began leaking straight away. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the lid which attaches the hose did not attach correctly due to the shape of the hydration pack. It was raining and in the middle of winter. The leak was bad enough to cause a major problem (with risk of hypothermia at night in the desert), but minor enough that the water continued dripping for hours. On a mission and without the opportunity to revert back to my old hydration pack, I was left soaked for a full day at least.

Considering the price I payed to have the product shipped to the middle east as well as the duties and such, I couldn't be more disappointed.

I took it for a 12 mile ruck for its first spin. Fit snug on my plate carrier and between my ruck with no issues. Was a very easy hydration solution and the added water weight was hardly felt due to its position on my body.

This is one of the most exciting things I've added to my plate carrier. I use it whenever I can, wherever I can, which is about every day. The fact that I can be a hydration tool and be a hard shell bladder makes everything even better. This goes beyond versatility when it comes to hydration. I've tried camelbacks and water bottles and all these other things that don't do it or quite as well perform as this. This is one of the most unique and top-of-the-line products for anybody running a plate carrier. You can freeze it, you can heat it, and you can use it as a hydration tool. I've tested it while working in a scorching and humid climate, and it performed well! Freezing it gives you freezing water that stays cold. This has to be one of my favorite products because I don't have to carry around a water bottle.
Either I'm at the range, or I'm training in my weighted vest. This is the way I stay hydrated.
Everything seems to work out pretty well with putting it on my plate carrier and assembling it all. It wasn't that much of a hassle. It just takes a little time, but the quality and the care that Qoreperformance puts into the products is 100%! Recommend to anybody who stands in the armed watches or security detail. One of my favorite features is I have an IMS Pro mounted on the front and the back of my plate carrier, and with my nonfiring hand, I can one-handedly switch from the back to the front hydration Ice plates. This is a very unique and handy design. I haven't had any issues that were very drastic with it. So far, the Ice plates are in place. I just had my ice cap have a little drip drop recently. However, I am still working with the team to see if this is a problem on my end or their end. Anything could happen with any product, so of course, I couldn't be mad because the team responded so quickly, and we're already addressing to figure out the issue of the leak. Besides that minor hiccup, everything has been 100% with this product, and I have two. I would repurchase it!

The concept of having a “Magazine” style sleeve it’s a fantastic idea my only complaint is the mounting to my plate carrier I’m running a crye JPC 2.0 and functionally it works feeding the cumberbun lines threw the Molly on the sleeve is a very positive connection but for the top half I’m using the provided 1 wrap I have 4 loops holding the top of the sleeve but when I’m walking threw the bush things like to catch and try to rip the sleeve off my back it’s definitely not coming off but I would like a different mounting system over the one wrap overall it’s a great product

I like the ice plate and the molle sleeve to an extent so far I just wish it was smaller because when it's on my plate carrier it does add weight which is expected but likes to pull down on the back for me a little but this might just ne a issue for me this could depend on your body and the ballistic plates you have

Sleeve is great but the only thing I would say needs improve is the ice plate cause when use it for a training I some how got a puncture hole on it causing to leak so maybe seeing a way to find it's durability stronger
