[ OVERVIEW ]
Plate Carrier hydration for elite professionals in austere, no-fail environments.
IMS (ICEPLATE® MOLLE Sleeve) joins our elite IMS Pro (IMS Pro + ICEPLATE® Curve offers Hydration and Cooling/Heating) as our entry-level hard cell hydration pack for military and law enforcement plate carriers. IMS combined with ICEPLATE® Curve (sold separately) delivers external hard cell hydration that preserves a full MOLLE field under heavy loads (AT4s, mortar base plates, commo, guilt from skipping PT, etc.). Unlike soft bladders, IMS is there when you need it most and won't break under stress. IMS wraps all of this capability in a conformal and ultra-thin form factor unmatched by any military or law enforcement plate carrier hydration pack on the market today.
Note: This product is for existing ICEPLATE® Classic and Curve owners and for those wishing to mix and match ICEPLATE® / Source 90 Drink Hose / IMS colors. For a turn-key plate carrier hydration solution, check out IMS Combo

Looking for a way to carry more water directly on my plate carrier and this is perfect. Fits just right on the back of my Crye SPC size M. I’m thinking about swapping places with the back plate and the hydration plate to try the cooling out. I don’t know why it wouldn’t work?

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.

Ingenuity at its best !! I am currently running this hydration system on the outside of my jpc 2.0 plate carrier. I have yet to put it through any rigorous wear testing, but I can tell you with little doubt that this will meet all expectations. The hydration sleeve is well constructed and very sturdy. The actual Iceplate itself is made watertight and sturdy as well. I had no leaks in any of my connections and the low profile of the system itself is ideal. Great product !! I’m sure that short of falling of a mountain and hitting every boulder and rock on the way down, this system will survive any heavy wear and usage.

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

The fitment is fantastic

I have several on different load outs. Great piece of gear! Modular and versatile so I can use them on a chest rig, plate carrier and I also put them in packs. Hydration doesn’t get any better!

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:

This has been the best hydration device I have ever used. Keeps cold for hours after freezing and you don't have that annoying shaking sound when you run.

This thing is awesome. It attaches easily to my outer plate carrier and when I sit back I don't have to worry about water squeezing out!
C
