Well for what it is its great, down side i have with it is i wish there was an option during purchase for LEFT OR RIGHT, I'm using it in a slick carrier for under a chest rig and i want the option to have a T junction for being able to connect to both front and back at the same time drinking out of both. with these Two things alone id be bumping up to a 5 star rating with no problems
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an honest review of your ICEPLATE® Curve experience. We used to make Right Exit ICEPLATE® Curves, but there was almost no demand for them, so they were discontinued back in 2023.

We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.

We outfitted our warehouse staff with ice plates and it has been a solid tool to keep working in the summer heat and and humidity. Tennessee Heat is unforgiving this product is a game changer.
Great item, easy storage. The bottom is easy to drink from and has a steady flow rate with
No leaking. I run the bottle in the right rear wing of my carrier and it fills the space quite nicely.
Do my best to keep this short.
I’ve used multiple types of vest stand offs over the years. And sadly they all end up the same way, adding bulk and not adding enough ventilation.
But that changed with Qore. Doubt I’m remembered but first came across Qore from a training class a while back in NJ.
Started off with some of their other products but with the crazy heat and more importantly humidity I needed something more then the ventilation my issued carrier could handle.
The install was straight forward, i opted not to use the shoulder pads as that’s not really an area I needed more ventilation or padding.
But on back to back 90 degree days with high humidity, before it my shirt would be soaked and gross.
Now however, I can feel the heat and at worst some moisture but it never gets soaked. I’ll be pouring sweat but the ventilation pontoons are doing their job and letting it evaporate / keep me cool under my carrier.
It’s a lot of money but if you're spending all day in a carrier and you have to be in the heat. This is money well spent all day long. Don’t hesitate.
Great for long weighted walks/runs in the Miami heat, lasted around 2-3 hours but the cold water to drink helps immensely.
Can't wait to use it in the National Guard so I don't have to suffer from the humidity and sun, I'd recommend it to my peers so they too don't have to suffer and increase our sustainability.
ICEPLATE® SLK Gen 3 Safety Vest with Cooling/Heating/Hydration
I like the idea of this more than I actually like it. The closer this gets to being empty the more of a hindrance it becomes. Unless I have somewhere to ditch it once I drink all the water, I don’t take it with me. Works well for short term use, especially when it’s pressed against your back. This could just be a me thing, but my back only touches 2/3s of the plate unless I’m sitting down or have a backpack on top of it.
It's a very efficient product that is difficult to remove parts, and if you lose parts, it is very effective
It’s a great way to cool off and have water at hand. Works great with the ice plate!
