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!
They work. Distributes load over a wider surface on your shoulders. They are semi-firm, texture is a bit rough out of the box (beware when taking plates off overhead, they can scratch your face until they wear down a bit.) Can be spray painted if that matters to you. Easy to install and take off, also help keep routed cables and hydration tubes in place if you tighten them down enough. Overall, good purchase.
Intelligent decision to fit a canteen in a slim design. I couldn’t justify $50 for the ICEFLASK holster, so I utilized a normal radio pouch. For $17, the ICEFLASK Canteen is Slim, sleek and isn’t cumbersome, allowing full range of motion of arms while in kit. Definitely recommend. Qore, I recommend R&D focuses on something slim and sleek to fit flush with plates- or, for Recon purposes, something that coincides with both spaces on backside of kit but doesn’t take up the space of plate.
Hi Tom,

We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty
works great for 105 degree vegas heat when i do matches, also great as ice blocks in my yeti instead of gas station ice bags. good stuff
Awesome product, very light weight and well ventilated. I ordered the plate bag with the AXL cumberbund with tubes and set up was easy. I am 5'7", 205lb, lift weights, so the plate bag fits and covers my torso the way it is supposed to. Only wish i had the option to order the Large cumberbund. There is room to mount the IMS pro gen 3 on the back, inside but the large cumberbund would give me a little more play room. But that's small stuff. Other than that, AWESOME product and AWESOME customer service..
Fantastic product, lasts for more than half a day keeping you cool and providing you with chilled water.
Awesome to hear Dan and thanks for sharing! #StayFrosty
