Do IceVents® Work with my Plate Carrier? The IceVents® Plate Carrier Compatibility Guide

Ice Vents Crye Precision JPC 2.0 Compatibility

BLUF: IceVents® Aero Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads are universal and will fit any minimalist plate carrier or soft armor system on the market today thanks to their novel attachment mechanism that can be custom fit to any carrier.

That said, we keep a running list of plate carriers and soft body armor vests that we know are compatible thanks to customer feedback and our own in-house testing/verification. This list is designed to provide additional peace of mind, but it is by no means all-inclusive.

IceVents® Aero Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads boast a number of impressive features: lightweight (the weight of a half piece of bread), ideal load distribution (IceVents® use Stimulite, an impact-absorbing hexagonal honeycomb TPE), superior ventilation, and most relevant to this post - Universal Plate Carrier Compatibility.

Yes, that's right - Universal.

Don't see your Plate Carrier?  Don't despair.  IceVents® fit any Plate Carrier, but are especially great for low vis, minimalist carriers like those listed below. For full armor systems and entry vests, we recommend IceVents® Classic Universal Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads:
