[ OVERVIEW ]
Hotspots. On ice.
The all-new ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad eliminates the pressure point (hotspot) created by the True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adapter), the Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter, or the Guardian Warrior Solutions Bang Hanger on the nerves that control your lower leg. Despite weighing next to nothing, the ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad also provides stand-off ventilation and is fully optimized for the True North Concepts MHA, Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter, Guardian Warrior Solutions Bang Hanger and similar holster adapters. The mount height/placement can be adjusted for use with or without leg straps.
ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pads are available in black only, no other colors are planned. They are almost completely covered by your holster adapter, so even if we made these in Coyote Brown, nobody would see your ninja-ness.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All ICEVENTS® Classic products use the same footprint. All ICEVENTS® Aero products use the same footprint. The only difference is the backing (PowerMesh, hook backed, hook-receptive loop backed) and the size (all pads are full size except holster pads which are half size).

*The hook-receptive loop fabric is designed for ventilation and has a lighter hook/loop adhesion than you might be used to for military-specification Velcro®. It is strong enough to secure the ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad to your holster platform since it is pressing up against your leg.

[ ALLEVIATING A COMMON PAIN POINT ]
The genesis of the ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad was born out of our own pressing need for enhanced performance, comfort, and functionality in holster adapters. Users (starting with us) of popular setups like the True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adapter) and the Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter frequently encountered a significant pain point: the pressure and discomfort on the nerves controlling the lower leg. This issue is present with plastic holster adapters but is especially pronounced with metal holster adapters like the MHA, which, despite their advantages in durability and modularity, often neglect the aspect of user comfort.
Our team recognized that while modular holster adapters offer versatility in terms of ride height, they create a hot spot in the user’s setup, especially below the belt line on the hip. This led to constant readjustment and discomfort, detracting from the efficiency of the holster system.
To address this, we developed the ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad featuring proprietary Stimulite® honeycomb TPE technology. This pad, designed to work seamlessly with the True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adapter) and/or the Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter as well as the BangHanger® by Guardian Warrior Solutions, introduces our popular ICEVENTS® technology for holster adapter comfort. Unlike standard foam padding, our ICEVENTS® products utilize proprietary Stimulite® thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to promote better airflow and load dispersion.
[ WHY CHOOSE ICEVENTS® CLASSIC HOLSTER PAD OVER COMPETITORS]
