"Simple is hard. " - Elon Musk: Ultralight, Ultra-strong MOLLE Plate Carrier Hydration Design

"Simple is hard."

- Elon Musk

IMS Pro uses a simple, minimalist design to deliver maximum versatility, durability and strength. Achieving any combination of one or two of these characteristics is easy and typically done by adding material, sewing, etc. The problem with manufacturing and design that simply adds material and steps to achieve strength and/or functionality, are that weight and water absorption come along for the ride too. The logic for great design is counter-intuitive: it is hard to do simple. More isn't always better...

We took the complete opposite approach in designing IcePlate® MOLLE Sleeve Pro. By marrying our proprietary, hydrophobic, High Molecular Weight Polyethylene laminate with meticulous laser detailing to remove material while increasing versatility, we dramatically increased ventilation and drainage in the process. The result is a solution that is versatile, durable and strong…all in a package that weighs just 4.2 ounces. IcePlate® Sleeve is the hydration solution on which we are Building a Superhuman Future.
