[ OVERVIEW ]


ICEPLATE INSIDE

The time has come for us to expand the IMS family and bring internal ICEPLATE Curve mounting to every MOLLE equipped plate carrier on the market. In the past, this was accomplished at the behest of the Army with our Side Release Armor Straps to satisfy their requirement. Like most US Government inspired designs and by our standards, this was not an optimal or elegant solution, and they have subsequently been discontinued. All of that changes now with our all new IMS VERSA for plate carriers that lack the internal loop Velcro fields like you can find on our ICEPLATE EXO®, Crye Precision AVS, or Shaw Concepts ARC Carrier V2 to readily mount ICEPLATE Curve for internal, conductive cooling, heating, and hydration.

Our proven ICEPLATE Curve (sold separately) has been a game changer for plate carrier users for some time now - eliminating heat injuries for tens of thousands of end users across public and private organizations, but not every setup could utilize our Sleeve systems. No matter your preference or mission requirements in a plate carrier, you can take advantage of the thermoregulation technology of ICEPLATE Curve with our all new IMS VERSA.

The elegantly designed ladder of laser cut split bar mounts on either side of the sleeve gives IMS Versa its namesake. Game changing versatility of adjustment makes mounting an ICEPLATE Curve to any MOLLE equipped carrier as simple as choosing what height and placement works best for you and your setup. The benefits of ICEPLATE Curve are now universal.

Note: This product is for existing ICEPLATE® Curve owners and for those wishing to mix and match ICEPLATE® / Source 90 Drink Hose / IMS VERSA colors. For those new to the IMS family, we highly recommend the IMS Versa Combo which includes ICEPLATE Curve and a Source 90 Drink Hose.

[ FAQ ]


Is the IMS Versa better than the IMS Pro?
While the IMS Versa has brought many more plate carriers up to speed with integrating ICEPLATE® Curve, the IMS Pro is still what we consider the ultimate plate carrier hydration and thermoregulation solution. If your setup is compatible with IMS Pro, we would advise to utilize that product for superior performance and optionality.

Can this mount to my slick Plate Carrier?
Unless your carrier has MOLLE, the IMS family (ICEPLATE MOLLE Sleeve) likely won't be the solution you're looking for. Instead, we would recommend adding Velcro to the inside of your carrier's rear plate bag and utilizing the IMS Pro. You can also follow a customer's solution for their Ferro Concepts Slickster here.

Why doesn't IMS Versa have loop Velcro® on it like IMS Pro?
There are two reasons why IMS Versa does not have loop Velcro® on it like IMS Pro:
1. IMS Versa is designed explicitly for conductive thermoregulation and hydration (click here for details on the three methods of heat transfer). ICEVENTS® facilitate convective thermoregulation (i.e. evaporative cooling, see previous link for more details). While our ICEVENTS® technology is unrivaled in terms of capability, it is not optimized for conduction (although it does have some mild conductive attributes) and would therefore inhibit the conductive properties of IMS Versa.

2. IMS Pro comes with both hook and loop Velcro® sides for exactly this reason to give the user maximum flexibility: conductive thermoregulation, convective thermoregulation, and hydration in a form factor that can be mounted internally or externally. 
This article here shows the differences between each of the three members of the IMS Collection and can be found on the IMS Collection page here as well as in the RESOURCES section of each product page.

Is IMS VERSA compatible with Zip On Panels from Crye Precision or Spiritus Systems? How about Velocity Systems SCARAB Back Panels?
Yes, whether you are using IMS, IMS Pro or IMS VERSA, all will not infringe on your ability to use Zip On panels from Crye or Back Panels from Velocity Systems. You can read more on this topic here.

Genius Design

I have had the Ice Plate for some time, but always put it inside my Plate Carrier. I finally decided to grab the sleeve and give it a try. Whole new ball game. So much cooler having it next to the skin. The plate carrier usually has some padding to make it more comfortable. But having the sleeve right there is way better. And it’s way easier to load after you have refrozen it. My plate carrier is a bother to open and revelcro each time. This is a game changer.
