With winter fast approaching, the first configuration shown is Assaulter Hot/Cold Climates with Hydration. This configuration puts IMS Pro on the inside of your rear plate bag to deliver conductive cooling/heating/hydration in a sleek, flat, and ultra-maneuverable form factor. The front plate bag is lined with ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to keep your base layer dry and comfortable for the duration of your mission.
Ideal for fall/spring and generally arid climates, the second configuration we’re going to show is Assaulter Hot/Temperate Climates with Evaporative Ventilation/Cooling only. This configuration features front and rear plate bags lined with ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to keep your base layer dry and comfortable for the duration of your mission. This configuration does not include IMS Pro Combo for plate carrier conductive cooling and heating with hydration.
Ideal for fall/spring and generally arid climates with a longer mission duration where hydration is required, the third configuration we’re showing is Assaulter Temperate Climates with Evaporative Ventilation/Cooling + Hydration. This configuration carries IMS Pro Combo plate carrier hydration on the outside of the rear plate bag to for low-profile, hard cell hydration only. The front and rear plate bags are lined with ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons, providing much needed armor stand-off and separation that allows air to flow where it is needed most, keeping your base layer dry and comfortable for the duration of your mission.
Recce Plate Carrier/Chest Rig Alternative | All Climates
Evaporative Ventilation with Hydration (conductive Cooling/Heating optional)
Ideal for high altitudes, tropical/jungle environments, or any other application where weight carries an outsized premium, or environments where front-only armor is desired,Recce All Climates with Hydration (Cooling/Heating optional) carries an ICEPLATE® Curve inside the rear plate bag (in-lieu of armor…think Chest Rig-type applications) for ultra low-profile hydration. The ICEPLATE EXO® plate bags are designed with skeletal architecture exposed corners for maximum drainage, and ventilation, but also to accommodate the Right Exit and Left Exit Ports of ICEPLATE® Curve when the plate bags are not used to carry armor. The ICEPLATE® can be carried with room temperature water, frozen, or filled with hot water depending on the environment. The front plate bag is carrying a Medium ESAPI armor plate (think back to the old school Blackhawk or Eagle Chest Rigs that had front armor capability) and lined with ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to keep your base layer dry and comfortable for the duration of your mission.
CBRN/MOPP/HAZMAT + Crossfit/Tactical Competitions | All Climates
This setup has ICEPLATE EXO® carrying ICEPLATE® Curves in the front and rear plate bags for applications requiring the incredible cooling/heating power of IcePlate Curve, but do not require armor of any kind. Some examples of such an application are augmented thermoregulation in CBRN/MOPP/HAZMAT suits, physical fitness training, Crossfit, The Tactical Games, The Patriot Games and other types of high intensity interval training workouts. Each ICEPLATE® Curve can be customized to a specific weight to comply with the rules of various forms of competition ranging from the Crossfit Games to the Tactical Games and just about anything in between.
*Note: ICEPLATE EXO®-XFT is the dedicated weighted training vest variant of ICEPLATE EXO®, purpose built for functional fitness/high intensity workouts like Crossfit, The Tactical Games, The Patriot Games, etc.
ICEPLATE® was first tested under a bomb suit at the MCAS Miramar Air Show with Marines from 1st EOD Company (Camp Pendleton).
By weaponizing temperature, ICEPLATE EXO® enhances performance and survivability at the physiological level, making it far more of a human supercharger than a conventional plate carrier.

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your ICEVENTS® Aero Holster Pad. In reading your review, it sounds like it works great for you, so I wanted to personally check-in with you and see why that resulted in a 1-Star review?
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

Yo, so like, ballistic plate armor? Total game-changer, no cap. It’s like having a boss shield that’s built to flex and keep you safe when the heat is on. These things are mad durable, almost like wearing a bodyguard in your fit, making sure you stay Gucci even when the situation gets lit.
Honestly, the tech in these plates is next level—light enough to not weigh you down but strong enough to handle all the smoke. It’s straight fire for real, especially when you’re out here in the field or just tryna stay plugged in about your safety.
Lowkey, the only vibe is making sure you got the right fit—because a weak plate is a no-go, fam. But overall? It’s a W. Keeps you protected, looking fresh, and ready for whatever the streets or missions throw at you. Stay safe, stay stacked. GFYMITA .
I love my ventilation pontoons. They’ve definitely made a difference in the ventilation of air in between my vest and my body. My pontoons are coupled with the ice plates, which help with the spreading of the coldness to my body. I’m glad I purchased them and would recommend them to anyone who wears a plate carrier/vest.
The ICEFLASK is something I didn't know I needed until it became a thing. As my position has been significantly downgraded, the need for a large amount of hydro on the X is no longer a thing. But, it still gets hot, and cold.
What ICEFLASK has allowed me to do is convert ICEPLATE into a permanent heating/cooling apparatus while still maintaining an adequate amount of drinking water.
Now, why ICEFLASK over any other water carrying device? Because of durability and kit-fit. The old school bladder was probe to bursting, creating an uncomfortable situation. Much like many other (nalgene, GI Canteen), the discomfort would come from having to "kit around" something that isnt built for accommodation. ICEFLASK fits into your kit, and works around what you've already built. Nothing says Fxxx it like having to rearrange your kit to add something as insignificant as "water"...
But, yeah. ICEFLASK, like many of the Qore products, is a good piece of kit.
The ridiculous hike in price makes this the last ice plate I will be purchasing. About $80 for a water bladder is not very affordable.
Hi Qunicy,
Thank you for taking the time to leave an honest review of your ICEPLATE® Curve experience. We are sorry to hear that you feel ICEPLATE® Curve is not very affordable, but we thought some additional information might be helpful context:
1. We've actually been able to DROP the price of ICEPLATE® Curve drinkable down to $75 from over $100 where it was in 2023 - still 100% Made in USA.
2. ICEPLATE® Curve itself is actually just $50. The Source90 Drink Tube is the other $25 and is completely optional. Our ICECAP is compatible with just about any drink tube on the market today for exactly this reason: user-choice. Details:
https://www.qoreperformance.com/products/source-90?_pos=1&_sid=ad152d88b&_ss=r 3. ICEPLATE® Curve is far more than a water bladder - it is a 24/7/365, all-environments, all-season heat-injury prevention tool that weaponizes temperature to enhance performance and survivability in the field. To date, ICEPLATE® Curve has roughly 7,000,000 hours worked in the field without a single minute lost to a heat injury since commercial launch in 2017. No water bladder on the planet can match this performance track record. Given that a hospitalization for heat stroke, rhabdo, or similar costs well over $40,000 in 2025, ICEPLATE® Curve is a bargain at ten times the price...
We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.

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.
Hi Shane,
Thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review of your ICEVENTS® Aero Minimalist Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads. Your observations are 100% spot on and consistent with our design/engineering intent as the ICEVENTS® model you purchased (Aero) are for minimalist/lighter plate carrier loads. ICEVENTS® Classic are for heavy/full duty loads. We note same on the product page above:
'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.'
Right below that guidance, we also provide this hyperlink to an article from our INSIGHTS blog with a detailed breakdown of the difference between ICEVENTS® Aero and ICEVENTS® Classic. Here is the link for your reference:

I used the my Icevents holster pad on a True North Concepts MHA during a 8hr live fire training course. Great all day fit and function. No issues, easy installation, comfortable and well made in the USA! Thanks for making this product.
Outstanding design, easy to work around if need be. 3 stars bc of the hi vis only colors. Bring back green, black, multicam asap
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to leave an honest review of our ICESHIELD HiVis Hand Warmer. Unfortunately, we discontinued ICESHIELD Plus in military colors in 2024 as part of our SKU Rationalization Program. We had some units left in black, MultiCam, Ranger Green, and Coyote which were made available to our LaunchPad email subs, but they sold out almost immediately. Details on our SKU Rationalization Program can be found here or in the product description above:

We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.
