Presenting our front plate bag designed for the ICEPLATE EXO® Ultralight Minimalist plate carrier. Following feedback from ICEPLATE EXO®-CRH users, we now offer this bag individually to enable an easy upgrade from your thermoregulation chest rig setup to a full ICEPLATE EXO® plate carrier.
Available in MultiCam, Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, and Obsidian Black.
ICEPLATE EXO® is our vision for the future of ultra-high performance infantry fighting systems, commonly referred to as tactical plate carriers, minimalist plate carriers, or full-duty plate carriers. Reflecting our unyielding belief in the possibilities created by empowered individuals, ICEPLATE EXO® is the host platform for our physiological enhancement and environmental inoculation technologies (ICEPLATE®, ICEVENTS®). ICEPLATE EXO® weaponizes temperature using simple physics in ICEPLATE® Curve (Conduction + Hydration) and ICEVENTS® (Convection) integration to enhance physiological performance in ways previously thought to be unattainable. Leveraging these unrivaled thermoregulation capabilities, ICEPLATE EXO® is limited only by your imagination. Durable, hydrophobic, and breathable, ICEPLATE EXO® can be configured for almost any mission profile from Direct Action to OTB/VBSS to CBRNE and is designed for elite armed professionals who are trained in how to properly and safely set up a plate carrier.
Not intended for beginners or hobby use. This product is only for the front ICEPLATE EXO® plate bag. ICEPLATE EXO® is sold as a complete package here, this product is only intended for existing ICEPLATE EXO®-CRH owners who want to purchase a front plate bag. ICEPLATE EXO® is not FR rated.

Exposed Armor Plates: good or bad? Here is the scientific and engineering truth behind exposed armor plates
IMPORTANT: click here for terms, conditions, and restrictions on body armor purchases.
Sizing, Armor Plate Compatibility
ICEPLATE EXO® is optimized to work with ICEPLATE Curve® for conformal fit with a Medium ESAPI plate profile. Size small ESAPI plate profiles are useable, but not optimal. Other sizes may not fit properly. Future sizes will be announced exclusively to LaunchPad email subs (click here to sign up or here to read more about why we only build size Medium). If you do not wear a Medium size armor plate, ICEPLATE® EXO will not fit properly. Armor plates with the following dimensions will fit:- 9.5" x 12.5" up to 1.1" for Medium ESAPI armor plate profiles.
- 10" x 12" up to 0.35" thick for Medium SAPI plate profiles.
- Use of 10" x 12" Medium Shooter Cut Armor Plates thinner than 1.1" may require sewing an additional Velcro loop field to the bottom plate retention flap to create more Velcro® loop (a.k.a. "soft Velcro®") surface area to accommodate the thinner plate.

For best results, we strongly recommend running the DFNDR Armor Medium Level III+ C Stand-Alone Rifle Rated Hard Plates or the DFNDR Armor Medium Level IV Stand-Alone Rifle Rated Hard Plates with ICEPLATE EXO® and ICEPLATE® Curve with an ICEPLATE® MOLLE Sleeve Pro, as ICEPLATE EXO® is specifically designed to fit Medium ESAPI armor plate profiles.
SwiftClip or G-Hook Compatible
Laser-cut slits measuring approximately 7.25" on center for compatibility with SwiftClip or G-Hook equipped placards.

ICEPLATE® Curve
THIN BUT CURVY
- Cooling - Fill and freeze ICEPLATE® Curve for up to 70 watts of conductive cooling per ICEPLATE® Curve - an unrivaled performance edge.
- Heating - Fill ICEPLATE® Curve with hot water for up to 52 watts of conductive heating power per ICEPLATE® Curve and an incredible competitive advantage in even the harshest climates.
- Hydration - Each ICEPLATE® Curve holds 50 fl oz (1.5 L) of water.
- One-Way Valve - The one-way valve allows air into ICEPLATE® Curve (drinkable option only), improving flow rate by more than 100% for an effortless drinking experience.
- Integration - Each plate bag is designed to accept ICEPLATE Curves or Medium ESAPI profile armor plates. When using armor plates with ICEPLATE EXO®, add IMS Pro Combo for internal or external mounting of ICEPLATE® Curve.
ICEVENTS®
LESS IS MORE
- Convection - Stand-off, omnidirectional ventilation facilitates Convection (evaporative cooling).
- Hydrolysis Resistance - Will not absorb/retain water, sweat.
- Anti-microbial - Totally permanent, ICEVENTS® are antimicrobial at the molecular level, meaning the characteristic cannot be washed away.
- Integration - ICEVENTS® Aero Ventilated Shoulder Pads (included) evenly distribute load across your shoulders, reducing unnecessary strain. IceVents Classic Ventilation Pontoons (optional) provide stand-off ventilation between your body and your plate bag. Use one pair per plate bag as desired.

[ FEATURES ]
Interchangeable
Plate bags interchangeably accept ICEPLATE Curve or Medium ESAPI armor plate to give you maximum versatility for your cooling, heating, hydration and protection needs. Mix and match as needed.
Pontoon Fields
Designed for ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to create unrivaled stand-off body armor ventilation.
Ventilated
Rear plate bag has laser-cut MAPs that double as ventilation ports.
Ultralight
Tips the scales at a scant 12.95 oz.• thanks in part to the same laser-cut Negative MAPS (MOLLE Attachment Points built by removing, not adding material) found on ICEPLATE EXO®-CRH, IMS Pro, and IMS Sport.
Drainage
Laser-cut Negative MAPs and open bottom architecture maximize drainage.
Stretch
Our all-new SizzleStick attachment mechanism facilitates both stretch and size adjustment using a unique shock cord lacing system.

Exclusive to our ICEPLATE EXO® line, SizzleSticks let you breathe easily, even in the hardest conditions.
Cummerbund Options
Run ICEPLATE EXO® with just the Side Straps for a minimalist configuration or scale-up to our 3-Strand MOLLE Cummerbund to increase load-carriage options. Prefer a different Cummerbund? No problem. Lateral Apertures will work with just about any two or three strand cummerbund on the market.
Strong
Constructed from our unique ICEPLATE EXO® laminate for an unrivaled strength to weight ratio and a completely hydrophobic chassis with a tensile strength of 600+ pounds.
Versatile
MOLLE, Swift Clip, G-Hook and Velcro loop compatibility to take any pouch, placard or chest rig on the market, wherever you need it.
