[ OVERVIEW ]
Now featuring permanently bonded Velcro Hook backs.
ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons provide stand-off ventilation and padding against hard body armor inside your plate carrier or under your soft body armor vest for your chest and back. Stand-off ventilation inside your plate carrier or soft body armor vest promotes convective thermoregulation (a.k.a "evaporative cooling" - click here to learn more about the different methods of heat transfer) and eliminating hotspots. ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons are the ultimate plate backer.
Say goodbye to heavy, bulky, and crude legacy body armor ventilation made from insulating, absorbing foam and switch to wafer-thin, ultra light, and hydrophobic ICEVENTS®. ICEVENTS® connect directly to the inside of all body armor equipped with body-facing loop fields/pontoon strips like our ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 Ultralight Ventilated Plate Carrier. If your carrier is not equipped with internal loop Velcro pontoons like ICEPLATE EXO®, we created our CATAMARAN Gen 3 Universal Body Armor Ventilation Adapter Panel. CATAMARAN provides a loop Velcro surface for mounting ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to any plate carrier. ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons are designed for use on your torso (front and/or back). They are not intended for use as shoulder pads. For ICEVENTS® plate carrier shoulder pads, click here.
ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons are available in black. They are completely covered by your armor and your body...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).
Each Package Includes:
- 2x ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons
- Click here for sewing instructions (STRENUOUS APPLICATIONS)
- CATAMARAN Gen 3 is recommended for any plate carrier that does not have loop Velcro fields on the inside of the plate bag (optional)
ICEVENTS® are ideal for dry and arid climates where evaporative cooling is effective. For humid climates, we recommend the unrivaled conductive cooling power of ICEPLATE® Curve.
