The Case for a Plate Carrier Hydration Pack

Plate carrier hydration packs are a transformative addition to your tactical gear, whether you're engaged in intensive training, high-stake operations, or outdoor adventures. They introduce a level of convenience and performance that makes them indispensable in scenarios where endurance matters the most.

The main advantage of a MOLLE hydration pack is its enhanced hydration experience. With an easy access drinking tube, IMS Pro Gen 3 provides much more convenient hydration when compared to your standard water bottle. Further, a hydration bladder is going to hold much more water, meaning you stay hydrated longer.

These tactical hydration packs are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing gear setup. With their modular design, you can customize the hydration system to suit your specific needs, be it long-distance treks, arduous hikes, or complex tactical operations.

Why Choose the IMS Pro Gen 3 Combo?

So, you've decided that a plate carrier hydration pack is the right choice for you, but now you need to decide which one to choose. We might be a bit biased, but the IMS Pro Gen 3 Combo is the ultimate solution.

Versatility: For starters, the IMS Pro Gen 3 is built to fully integrate with ICEPLATE® Curve, the world's most revolutionary water bladder. This means that this is the best hydration carrier to take advantage of the cooling/heating/hydration capabilities of ICEPLATE®.

The IMS Pro can also hold any Medium ESAPI armor plate for protective versatility.

Superior Design: We designed the IMS Pro Gen 3 to make life easier for you in the field, which is reflected by its features:

Universal 6x4 MOLLE and/or hook and loop Velcro field compatibility
Built at our HQ in Knoxville, TN, USA from USMCA compliant laminate for an incredibly durable construction.
Ultralight, with the IMS Pro Gen 3 sleeve weighing just 0.3 Ibs or 4.8 oz.
Conformal design geometry with ICEPLATE® Curve allows you to finally “sit flat” for mounted/vehicle operations

Durability: Made from Squadron laminate, the IMS Pro Gen 3 is meant to handle the harshest conditions. In the field, a burst water bladder or ripped hydration pack can be a complete disaster. Worrying about a situation like this takes your mind off the mission at hand, so rest easy knowing you're in good hands with the IMS Pro Gen 3.

I want to say this seems to be a good product, however there are things that could make it better. First the pros;
- Love the design and shape going right along with the plate carrier. So much better than an odd shape water bladder.
- Love the hard, solid shape design over a soft bladder. Seems sturdy and not likely to lead like soft bladders always do.
- Really like the hose fittings and mouth pieces, better than the typical camelbak. Easy to take out the bladder and fill then re-attach.

Now to the cons.
- Low capacity. I wish the bladder was a bit thicker, closer to 1 inch thick so it is on par with the thicker ballistic plates. I wish this for two reasons, first to increase the water capacity and second so the carrier would be able to accommodate the thicker plates so you could switch out the plate and water bladder for the cooling benefit. Currently with my plates they don’t fit in the carrier for the bladder so I cannot use this for the cooling effect.

For what the product is, it is good but if there was some minor changes then it could be great.

Hi Steven,

We’re glad to hear that you're enjoying the design and sturdy build of your IMS Pro Combo! We truly appreciate your feedback.

The ICEPLATE® Curve is indeed 1” thick, matching the profile of the Medium ESAPI armor plate, which, according to Department of Defense data, fits 80% of the general population. We selected this architecture to ensure seamless integration with most plate carrier plate bags that accept a Medium ESAPI, while offering cooling, heating, and hydration benefits to the widest range of users. Based on your review, it sounds like you might be using the IMS Pro externally. While this is possible, it’s not ideal for maximizing ICEPLATE® Curve’s cooling and heating benefits. The IMS Pro’s laser-cut design is intended to provide maximum conductivity when mounted internally, allowing direct ICEPLATE® Curve contact with the wearer’s body for optimal thermoregulation, while keeping your armor plate in your rear plate bag.

For increased hydration capacity, we recommend an external mounting of an additional ICEPLATE® Curve via the IMS, combined with your internal IMS Pro setup. This configuration provides a total of 3 liters of hydration. You can learn more about optimizing your plate carrier with a dual ICEPLATE® setup here:

We're paying for R&D aren't we?

I do kinda wish I bought the 15$ knock-off ice pack & sewed a molle carrier since I have the equipment & a background both in engineering & tailoring. I expected more. It gets 4 stars since I suspect it's more durable than the chinesium I could put in a diy carrier but that remains to be seen.

Hi C,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the IMS Combo. We appreciate your honest feedback and value your perspective. 

To address your points, it's important to note that you're investing in more than just R&D. Our IMS Combo is 100% made in the USA from American materials, designed for performance-minded end-users with durability and guaranteed by our Forever Warranty for hard duty use. Supporting American-made goods keeps American dollars within our economy, supporting local businesses, labor, and manufacturing. We prioritize quality assurance and our company values, choosing not to outsource duty-rated goods to foreign manufacturers. This ensures that our products are reliable and consistent. 

Our ICEPLATE® itself exemplifies this commitment to quality, being an FDA-approved, BPA-free water bottle. This provides a level of safety and assurance that is often lacking in products made in the People's Republic of China, which, while cheaper and better suited to the commodity-minded consumer, may not meet the same safety standards. 

Regarding your expectations, the IMS Combo offers robust hydration with our durable ICEPLATE® hardcell bladder, designed for external mounting on any MOLLE plate carrier. For those seeking additional features, our IMS Pro Combo and IMS Versa Combo provide internal mounting to leverage ICEPLATE® Curve's capability for powerful cooling or heating when worn against the body, along with the same durable hydration. 

For a detailed comparison of the IMS, IMS Versa, and IMS Pro options, please refer to this INSIGHTS article: https://www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/what-is-the-difference-between-ims-and-ims-pro-iceplate-molle-sleeve-vs-iceplate-molle-sleeve-pro  We hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Lessen Fatigue

I used the iceplate with a esstac plate carrier and a lvl 4 steel plate in the rear bag with a lvl 4 ceramic in the front bag. As well as a magazine placard. I used this set up to do the Murph workout on memorial day. I was a bit skeptical how well it would work. Here to say that I was shocked about how the iceplate lessened my fatigue throughout the workout. In my opinion Qore is making super humans with thermal regulation. I'm in the process to get one of there carriers and plate combos

Varibly perfect Vs. Almost great

Running a 5.11 TacTec with 11x14 curves, I had to take the route of the IMS Pro Sleeve for my IcePlate. Dilemma was inside vs. outside. Inside and I lose my super comfy vented pads and am forced to purchase additional padding for the long days comfort OR outside and I retain my cushions but lose nearly 4 rows of molle on sides and bottom which is valuable real-estate for my multi-day outings. I opted for the outside method and I stacked my MultiFak onto my admin toolkit as I am multi role medic and wrench/gunsmith. Slightly inconvenient should I need my tools rapidly but as with anything, we adapt to the circumstances.
Mounting is so easy a fireman can do it and the construction is phenomenal. Time will tell how it holds up to rocks and trees but I am fairly confident in Qore Performance Products... #111percentEMS

Hit the spot

Slick, kept simple yet diverse. A must for any operator looking to consolidate their kit yet remaining both modular AND HYDRATED.

Great

The fitment is fantastic

Great product for field work

The product is great for field work as a law enforcement officer. The only negative I have is that the ice plate is only offered in a 1.5 litre plate. I work in very remote areas of West Texas, and having a larger capacity would be great. There are days where I can hike 10 miles and not be able to return to my government ride to swap out for a different ice plate. Other than that I love the product.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share an honest account of your IMS Combo experience. We really appreciate it!

In an effort to empower all of our customers to the maximum extent possible, we thought it might be helpful to share some additional background information on why ICEPLATE® Curve is 1.5L. Here is a link to our ICEPLATE® Curve FAQ, where, if you scroll down to #22, you will find a detailed answer to this exact question:
https://www.qoreperformance.com/blogs/military-insights/iceplate-faq-a-deeper-dive-into-the-why-the-science-and-the-design-of-the-worlds-most-capable-water-bottle

Additionally, while IMS is an incredibly popular and capable product, it is not consistent with our original vision and the 'why' behind ICEPLATE® Curve. We created IMS at the request of our customers and it is one of our ten best selling products to this day. However, as an external hydration-only solution, IMS deprives users of ICEPLATE® Curves most differential capability: conductive thermoregulation. As you'll see in the link we provided above, when used as intended, as frozen ICEPLATE® Curve can reduce hydration requirements by up to 50%, making it exponentially more efficient than a 3L/100 ounce hydration bladder because you are carrying half the weight for equal or greater physiological performance gains. To help end-users harness this tremendous capability, we created IMS Pro and IMS Versa. This INSIGHTS article provides a detailed comparison between IMS, IMS Versa, and IMS Pro:
