The anchor of our IceAge EcoSystem, ICEPLATE EXO® weaponizes temperature using organic ICEPLATE® Curve and ICEVENTS® integration to enhance human operator performance. Limited only by your imagination, ICEPLATE EXO® can be configured for almost any mission profile . Designed for elite armed professionals who are trained in how to properly and safely set up a plate carrier.
Made at our Knoxville, TN HQ.

Exposed Armor Plates: good or bad? Here is the scientific and engineering truth behind exposed armor plates
DFNDR Armor Plates
Pairing armor with the correct plate carrier can be complicated and confusing. We created this ICEPLATE EXO® Armor Package to make things easy. Each package includes two of the exact same DFNDR Armor Level III or Level IV rifle rated stand-alone body armor plates that we all run in our personal ICEPLATE EXO® plate carriers here at the shop. Here are the specs from DFNDR Armor:DFNDR Armor Level III rifle rated hard armor plates are independently tested to NIJ protocol 0101.04. Designed with a multi-curve profile to provide an ergonomic and comfortable fitting armor system that is intended to wear against your body all day (and conforms perfectly with ICEPLATE® Curve). Lightweight to reduce fatigue, DFNDR Armor® Rifle Rated Body Armor is equipped with a state of the art Trauma Mitigation Base to minimize the energy of an impact dramatically.
All threats specified are tested at muzzle velocity and are listed in the ‘threat profile’ table below which describes the rated ammunition this armor system will defeat.
DFNDR Armor® is engineered with the highest grade of ballistic materials; Fiber-Lite Laminate, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bound with a resin matrix to make it a hard stand-alone armor system and equipped with Spall-Tek to further reduce spall and deflection of projectile fragments. These Level III hard armor plates fit perfectly inside ICEPLATE EXO®.

IcePlate® Curve
THIN BUT CURVY
- Cooling - Fill and freeze ICEPLATE® Curve for up to 70 watts of conductive cooling per ICEPLATE® Curve - an unrivaled performance edge.
- Heating - Fill ICEPLATE® Curve with hot water for up to 52 watts of conductive heating power per ICEPLATE® Curve and an incredible competitive advantage in even the harshest climates.
- Hydration - Each ICEPLATE® Curve holds 50 fl oz (1.5 L) of water.
- One-Way Valve - The one-way valve allows air into ICEPLATE® Curve (drinkable option only), improving flow rate by more than 100% for an effortless drinking experience.
- Integration - Each plate bag is designed to accept ICEPLATE® Curves. When using armor plates with ICEPLATE EXO®, add IMS Pro Combo for internal or external mounting of ICEPLATE® Curve.
IceVents®
LESS IS MORE
- Convection - Stand-off, omnidirectional ventilation facilitates Convection (evaporative cooling).
- Hydrolysis Resistance - Will not absorb/retain water, sweat.
- Anti-microbial - Totally permanent, IceVents® are antimicrobial at the molecular level, meaning the characteristic cannot be washed away.
- Integration - ICEVENTS® Aero Ventilated Shoulder Pads (included) evenly distribute load across your shoulders, reducing unnecessary strain. IceVents Classic Ventilation Pontoons (optional) provide stand-off ventilation between your body and your plate bag. Use one pair per plate bag as desired.

[ FEATURES ]
Interchangeable
Plate bags interchangeably accept ICEPLATE Curve or Medium ESAPI armor plate to give you maximum versatility for your cooling, heating, hydration and protection needs. Mix and match as needed.
Pontoon Fields
Designed for ICEPLATE® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to create unrivaled stand-off body armor ventilation.
Ventilated
Rear plate bag has laser-cut MAPs that double as ventilation ports.
Ultralight
Tips the scales at a scant 12.95 oz.• thanks in part to the same laser-cut Negative MAPS (MOLLE Attachment Points built by removing, not adding material) found on ICEPLATE EXO®-CRH, IMS Pro, and IMS Sport.
Drainage
Laser-cut Negative MAPs and open bottom architecture maximize drainage.
Stretch
Our all-new SizzleStick attachment mechanism facilitates both stretch and size adjustment using a unique shock cord lacing system. Engineered using a process known as Topology Optimization, SizzleSticks achieve the optimum balance between strength and mass. Exclusive to our ICEPLATE EXO® line, SizzleSticks let you breathe easily, even in the hardest conditions.
Cummerbund Options
Run ICEPLATE EXO® with just the Side Straps for a minimalist configuration or scale-up to our 3-Strand MOLLE Cummerbund to increase load-carriage options. Prefer a different Cummerbund? No problem. SizzleSticks will work with just about any two or three strand cummerbund on the market.
Strong
Constructed from our unique ICEPLATE EXO® laminate for an unrivaled strength to weight ratio and a completely hydrophobic chassis with a tensile strength of 600+ pounds.
Versatile
MOLLE, Swift Clip, G-Hook and Velcro loop compatibility to take any pouch, placard or chest rig on the market, wherever you need it.
Uniform-friendly
Velcro-brand bottom closure places the Hook Velcro field on the inside of ICEPLATE EXO®, preventing contact with clothing or uniforms.
IFF
Large Velcro loop fields for unit identification patches.
MOLLE Cummerbund
All-new MOLLE Cummerbund interfaces with the velcro field on the front plate bag and MOLLE placard for secure attachment.
MOLLE Placard
