I bought these for a run and gun match. Always hated a camelback, and finding how to carry water so it doesnt flop is always a challenge. The wing sleeves are not compatible with a micro chest rig, they interfere with the straps too much so I was unable to use them. I also find the plastic piece comes out of the sleeve every time I pull them out. I am going to use them with my plate carrier, but they add some girth, I am going to need to buy a larger sized cumberbund before I can use them.
I purchased the Icevent for my Safariland UBL to help the discomfort that I occasionally get from the bottom of the UBL pressing into my leg. While I was excited to try the product for my holster, the Icevent came with zero instructions on how to properly install it. So I had to go on Youtube to watch the install video. After watching it, I installed the Icevent and I was extremely disappointed in the product. Not only did it not work for me but it actually increased my discomfort. Buyer beware this product is nothing more than cheap plastic with a fabric backing. Maybe it’ll work for some but it’s honestly not worth the price that you pay for it as the value is definitely not there. I could not make it through a single training session with this product and immediately removed it at the first chance I got.
Hi GW,
Thank you for your feedback. We wanted to let you know that every product we ship comes with a circular Qore Performance sticker with a QR code on the back that says 'Scan here for INSTRUCTIONS/Videos.' We also have instructional videos on our website to help with installation.
In terms of the discomfort you experienced, please note that our ICEVENTS® Holster Pads provide both convective and conductive cooling, as well as pressure distribution. They are softer than any holster mounting platform. We have engineering receipts here: https://www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/convective-cooling-conductive-cooling-and-pressure-distribution-testing-of-life-saving-equipment?_pos=10&_sid=10eda8408&_ss=r
We hope this helps. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. #StayFrosty

No need to overstate.
Yes, it is pricey, but the price is justifiable for benefits, if not versatility.
Not gonna state more than necessary, but it simply works. It simply attaches, and holds. I haven’t seen it have too much play and wobble, personally. And even if it does, it’ll be a quick fix I’m sure.
I have it mounted on a CATAMARAN Gen. 3, and it works fine.
As stated, it works.
Had little issues having it seat on my plate carrier whatsoever. And with the extra hardware they provide, I was able to have it comfortably sit on the back of my carrier, rather than the front.
And in my instance, it is also cross-compatible with different comfort padding from other companies.
All around, solid piece to add to your carrier.
The perfect way to carry water!!
Great quality; uses that material that doesn't soak up sweat or water
I’m appreciating the extra padding from my Qore classic icevent shoulder pads cuz my shoulders were aching a bit after just 10 minutes or so with my level IV plates front and rear and level III cummerbund plates and nothing else on the Tactical Edge and Armor PC. Clearly my pc could weigh a few pounds more when fully loaded out, but these classic pads have already helped redistribute the existing weight, and I’m optimistic the pads will mitigate for some additional cargo.
My Pc is just for larping and/or shtf
Feels good but too expensive for what it is

I’ve used these a few times. They sit out of the way on my cummerbund. I think these are my new favorite way to carry water. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because at the moment they only come in RG. I would love to have one in black so I could use it at work.
