Cooling. Heating. Hydration.

Put the water you carry to work. ICEPLATE® Gen 3 combines hydration with cooling and heating in a low-profile, Medium ESAPI-shaped reservoir.

70 W cooling

Freeze ICEPLATE® for a typical 2–4 hours of cooling.*

52 W heating

Fill with warm water for a typical 3–5 hours of heating.* Follow the temperature limits in the instructions.

1.55 L hydration

Carry 52.4 fl oz of water. Choose the Drinkable configuration for hands-free hydration.

*Duration varies with environmental conditions, workload and mounting. Conductive body cooling and heating require body-facing placement; carrying ICEPLATE® externally does not provide the same effect. Follow the filling, freezing and warm-water instructions.

Find your mounting setup

Start with where you want to carry ICEPLATE® and what you need it to do.

Fantastic Gear!

Got it because it fits the zip up back panel for the Scarab LT size S/M

Great way to keep cool

It’s a very minimalistic way to carry water and you can freeze it so it keeps you cool during a hot day while also being big enough to last all day long it was definitely a great purchase.

Great piece of kit

I use mine as a water bladder, have not tried freezing it yet. It’s very low profile and space saving because of how flat it sits. Very packable option for carrying water in your ruck. Would recommend.

Great for a motor cop

The IcePlate works far better than I ever dreamed. For background, I am an LEO, and I am on the motorcycle unit. Our agency is stuck wearing wool blend Class A's for patrol duty, and concealed ballistic vests because "tRaDiTiOn." Combine that with the 100 degree days we've gotten, and it kind of sucks - even with the mesh Maxx-Dri airflow vest I have attached to the armor. ESPECIALLY on a bike, with all the heat coming off the cylinder heads. Even drinking 4 Nalgenes in a shift, I felt sluggish and unfocused when it got really hot. I had headaches because I wasn't getting enough electrolytes. I started making rookie mistakes because the heat was distracting. My reflexes were compromised, which is dangerous on a bike.

Well, enter the IcePlate Curve. This probably wasn't how it was intended to be used, but I improvised a solution to put the IcePlate inside the back panel of an old Velocity Systems slick plate carrier I had. I attach it under my Maxx-Dri, and all that under my soft vest. I don't even use the drink function, I just wanted the cooling. Well, now the really hot days are far less daunting. I am noticeably more focused and productive. I am better hydrated, and in a better mood all day. I can usually get about 2 to 4 hours of active cold (seriously, I sometimes get goosebumps and feel like I need a jacket), and another 2 of diminished but still noticeable cool. It's like having my own personal A/C on a motorcycle.

I liked the IcePlate so much, I bought a second one, which I keep in the office freezer. I can easily switch out the plate halfway during my shift, in just a couple of minutes, and I can refreeze the melted one. Now I keep cool for a whole shift.

Sure, it's a little bulky under a concealed vest (I went up a shirt size and it's barely noticeable unless I point it out), and it also causes a slight gap in the sides of the armor. When I'm due for a new vest, I'll account for it. Bullets kill, but so does heat stroke. So does crashing a bike because your focus was compromised. I've never been a heat casualty before, and I intend to keep it that way. I'm almost certainly violating a uniform policy by wearing this, but I don't care. The admins preach wellness, but would rather we suffer heat injuries than switch to a functional working uniform. If they won't help us protect our health, we'll just have to do it ourselves, in any way we can.

Thank you, Qore Performance, for making this product. I'm sure, by keeping me cool and focused, it will indirectly save my life one day, if it hasn't already.

Its great.

Its good but theres one thing that gets me. When you freeze the plate theres a bump under the Q. Other than that its great.

Hi Connor,
Thank you for taking the time to share an honest account of your IcePlate Curve experience. The 'bumps' you are experiencing in your IcePlate Curve are created by over-filling the IcePlate. Water is expanding in the IcePlate Curve as it phase changes from liquid to ice. This is why we created the Fill Line and reference this phenomenon in the IcePlate Curve Instruction/Setup video at timestamp 3:18 and again at 4:03. Here is a link to that video:

Hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty

Perfect Fit and Function

Where I live, the summers are hot. The IPC keeps me cool and hydrated without a sloppy bladder with which to contend. I can tell a considerable difference in my energy level on days where the heat zaps my energy I only wish the drink tube was insulated to keep the water cold so I would have instantly cold water but I can handle a few warm pulls before the cold water flows.

Almost perfect

I love this product for the most part. When I am in Arkansas in June, refilling my plates with cold water periodically really helps with the heat. The problem for me is the bottom edge hitting my lower ribs when going prone and doing lots of weighted push-ups. That and having to blow air back into the plates to get water. Especially after getting smoked. I was super greatful for the colder temperature in this humid heat. A lot of the other soldiers were asking where to buy.

Almost perfect

I love this product. I’m in 90 degree Arkansas humid heat for a military training, and I got cold water in the plates keeping me hydrated and cool.
I have to blow air back in after a big gulp. I think a lot of cold bleeds outwards with only the vest without plates. I froze the plates last night, and they melted pretty quick.

Ice plate is great

I got the ice plate and it is a great product. My only gripe is that it is a little hard to drink from the hydration tube. It takes a lot to get the water flowing. Other than that, it holds plenty of water. It is hard to get into my plate carrier bag, it's a snug fit

Perfect for vehicle ops!

Since I got my Ice Plate to this side of the pond I´ve ran it as part of my gear in three field exercises. It slips perfectly into the plate pocket of my vest and as we don´t get issued hard plates this is a perfect solution for me. On top of that I´ve found that the Ice Plate in this configuration is way more comfier than any regular hydration bladder when operating with vehicles. No more worrying about bladder leakage due to the immense pressure created by cramming myself between the steering wheel and seat of a Land Rover Defender that obviously hasn´t been designed for POG-shaped reservists. Definitely recommend!

Hydration and Functionality

The quality, fit, and finish of this product is outstanding. The caps and fittings for the Ice Plate as well as the included straps are well thought. The hose and mouth piece are suitably protected. The Ice Plate itself is robust, minimalist, and comfortable. This thing integrates really well with my kit and is minimally obtrusive. The Ice Plate Curve is the best solution to the problem of tactical hydration, and it provides the awesome added benefit of cooling (or heating) power. I'm excited to put this thing to further use in upcoming trainings throughout the summer months.

@Qore Performance:
New product idea: Create a lunchbox cooler that has slots on the long sides for 2 ice plate curve water bottles. This way, the ice plates will stay cool until needed, as will your lunch! Make it high enough quality to keep plates frozen for a couple days, big enough to use as a seat for breaks and store a couple days worth of food, yet small enough to fit on the floorboard of the front seat of a car (under / around 20qt).

Thanks for the awesome products! I plan on buying more from you all.

A must-have for a plate carrier

If you train with your gear, you know hydration is a necessity. There's no better way to carry it than the Ice Plate Curve. It conforms to your body, takes up no space on your carrier or belt, and keeps you cool in the heat.

Haven’t had much time or opportunity to test the item but it has been relatively comfortable. It holds a decent amount of water and the option to use it for cooling is a plus.

Pretty darn good

I really like my ice plate, I do wish it came in a single curve to better fit my plates but overall its awesome to have. Quality product and should hold up for a long long time

Hi Dustin,
Thank you for taking the time to share an honest review with our community! We wanted to let you know that we have a single curve IcePlate. It is called IcePlate Classic:

Questions before you buy

Which configuration should I choose?

Choose Drinkable / Cooling / Warming for hands-free hydration plus cooling and heating. It includes the Source 90 Drink Tube, ICECAP Gen 3, Valve Cap and Cap Tether.

Choose Cooling / Warming Only if you do not need a drink tube. It includes two Closed Caps.

What do I need to mount it?

For body-facing mounting, use IMS Pro Gen 3. If your plate carrier or soft body armor vest does not have loop Velcro® on the body-facing side of its plate bags, CATAMARAN Gen 3 + IMS Pro Gen 3 are required.

For external hydration carry, explore the ICEPLATE® MOLLE Back Panel. For a dedicated wearable system, explore the Backpack, safety vest or Driver Harness options.

Compare mounting setups

How long does cooling or heating last?

Typical ranges are 2–4 hours of cooling and 3–5 hours of heating. Results vary with ambient conditions, exposure, workload and mounting.

The reservoir holds 52.4 fl oz / 1.55 L. How long your drinking water lasts depends on consumption; plan additional water for your activity.

How do I fill and freeze ICEPLATE® Gen 3?

Follow the marked fill line and current freezing instructions, allowing space for water to expand. Freeze until solid before use; allow approximately 6–8 hours, though actual freezing time depends on your freezer and starting water temperature.

Read filling and freezing instructions

Can I drink while the water is frozen?

In the Drinkable configuration, liquid water becomes available as the ice melts. Plan a separate drinking-water supply if you need immediate hydration while ICEPLATE® is fully frozen.

Will it produce condensation?

A cold reservoir can collect condensation in humid conditions. Consider moisture management when choosing its placement and mounting sleeve.

Review use and care instructions

How do I clean and dry it?

Empty, clean, rinse and dry the reservoir and hydration components after use. The two fill ports provide access for draining and cleaning.

Follow the current care instructions for the reservoir, caps, drink tube and bite valve before washing or long-term storage.

Read cleaning and drying instructions

Is ICEPLATE® body armor?

No. ICEPLATE® is a hydration and thermoregulation reservoir. It does not replace ballistic armor.
