Hi Rob,
Thank you SO MUCH for brining that error to our attention! We cannot tell you how much we appreciate it. Though we strive for perfection, alas we are human and we do miss things. We recently updated the Shopify theme for our website and it messed some of our spacing and formatting up, including some characters as seen in this article. We just fixed it, but we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know! #StayFrosty
Hi. I am a little confused by your chart. Typically speaking an ‘X’ indicates the lack of a feature while a check mark indicates the presence. Your videos and the chart are at direct odds with one another. This video, https://www.qoreperformance.com/collections/iceplate-featured/products/iceplate, says that the curve has Q-hex baffling, total drain technology, universal QD, IceCap compatibility, 90 degree elbow, etc. While your ‘convenient’ chart implies the presence of none of these features.
Hi Jay,
The IcePlate Sleeve Combo is the way to go with both HSP FlatPacks. You can run the IcePlate Curve solo inside the main compartment or you can MOLLE the IcePlate Sleeve to the outside of both FlatPacks for maximum versatility. Here is an article with more details:

Which would work better in a Haley Flatpack Plus – Classic or Curved
Hi Wendy,
For your application, we would recommend IceVest Black. It holds two IcePlate Curves and in your application, should last at least half a day since there will be no direct sunlight exposure combined with a low to moderate work load (for context, combat is considered a heavy workload, Crossfit is considered moderate because of the lack of PPE). You can find IceVest Black here:
https://www.qoreperformance.com/products/iceplate-safety-vest-industrial-black
It is built from a soft loop-covered fabric that is comfortable for all day wear and will absorb and disperse any condensation. Since condensation is climate-dependent, you won’t have much working in an air-conditioned office setting (A/C removes humidity). Hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions: Info [at] Qore Performance [dot] com or 703.755.0724. #StayFrosty
