I wasn’t sure it would work on my carrier as it’s a bit older but I got the adapters to hook up fine and i was surprised but how well the vents work. Keeps me cooler with a full coverage carrier and def a 10/10 purchase and worth the money.

I got the Catamaran to manage the heat from wearing a backpack in a tropical country. It's pretty good in giving me airspace with the pontoons, and an inadvertent additional suspension airspace between the Catamaran panel and my backpack. Civilian backpacks don't have the molle straps to properly mount the Catamaran panel, so I jury-rigged it with items in the package - shock cord goes around the top of the backpack shoulder straps, and the velco one wrap straps attach the bottom of the panel to the bottom of the backpack shoulders straps.
It's not perfect and putting on the backpack does require extra fiddling, but it helps, it's modular and it can be migrated to other backpacks when my current one wears out. If Qore makes a backpack attachment kit for this, I'm in!

I've been eyeing the Ice Vents for quite a while now but didn't want to change vests or go through the hassle of sewing the hook and loop (I honestly don't trust the sticky back hook and loop to stay). But the Catamaran was super easy to install and now I get to enjoy the Ice Vents. You do have to leave the top row of your molle available to mount it unless you want to go through the hassle of using the shock cord. The shock cord seemed nearly impossible to route through the Catamaran platform. After about 10 minutes of getting nowhere with it I gave up. Otherwise pretty great.
