The only thing that I wasn’t a fan of is that it is very hard to take the ice plate in and out of the sleeve. The Velcro to secure it is inside of the sleeve, so this makes it difficult to easily take the ice plate out to refill or clean. I ended up rigging up 4 Velcro straps that allow me to have the bottom flap on the outside of the sleeve. Now I have super quick access to remove and refill my water. Did the same thing with my friends sleeve.

The IMS Pro is a great system for mounting the ice plate. There’s many different ways to mount this and they all stay in place!

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 want to say this seems to be a good product, however there are things that could make it better. First the pros;
- Love the design and shape going right along with the plate carrier. So much better than an odd shape water bladder.
- Love the hard, solid shape design over a soft bladder. Seems sturdy and not likely to lead like soft bladders always do.
- Really like the hose fittings and mouth pieces, better than the typical camelbak. Easy to take out the bladder and fill then re-attach.

Now to the cons.
- Low capacity. I wish the bladder was a bit thicker, closer to 1 inch thick so it is on par with the thicker ballistic plates. I wish this for two reasons, first to increase the water capacity and second so the carrier would be able to accommodate the thicker plates so you could switch out the plate and water bladder for the cooling benefit. Currently with my plates they don’t fit in the carrier for the bladder so I cannot use this for the cooling effect.

For what the product is, it is good but if there was some minor changes then it could be great.

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.

I used the iceplate with a esstac plate carrier and a lvl 4 steel plate in the rear bag with a lvl 4 ceramic in the front bag. As well as a magazine placard. I used this set up to do the Murph workout on memorial day. I was a bit skeptical how well it would work. Here to say that I was shocked about how the iceplate lessened my fatigue throughout the workout. In my opinion Qore is making super humans with thermal regulation. I'm in the process to get one of there carriers and plate combos

Running a 5.11 TacTec with 11x14 curves, I had to take the route of the IMS Pro Sleeve for my IcePlate. Dilemma was inside vs. outside. Inside and I lose my super comfy vented pads and am forced to purchase additional padding for the long days comfort OR outside and I retain my cushions but lose nearly 4 rows of molle on sides and bottom which is valuable real-estate for my multi-day outings. I opted for the outside method and I stacked my MultiFak onto my admin toolkit as I am multi role medic and wrench/gunsmith. Slightly inconvenient should I need my tools rapidly but as with anything, we adapt to the circumstances.
Mounting is so easy a fireman can do it and the construction is phenomenal. Time will tell how it holds up to rocks and trees but I am fairly confident in Qore Performance Products... #111percentEMS

best hydration solution out there

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
