IceVents Aero Shoulder Pads bring load carrying and ventilation to the next level at an impossibly light weight. Designed for professionals wearing the highest performance minimalist plate carrier, backpacks, or rucksacks, IceVents Aero work with any carrier in this category.
The teardrop silhouette of IceVents Aero is inspired by high-end aerodynamic designs such as Formula One cars and the Space X Falcon 9. This profile efficiently manages energy and air flow around your body and plate carrier. IceVents Aero are also ergonomically optimized for overhead movement and prone positions.

Cord Management |

Increased Load Bearing Capacity |
Loads are absorbed and dispersed evenly throughout the honeycomb matrix in IceVents technology. Because the cells are interconnected, when one cell buckles from impact, the walls of the adjacent cells also buckle to absorb the force, similar to a ripple effect. The fusion-bonded honeycomb in Stimulite absorbs shock in this manner and also has phenomenal load-bearing and load-balancing capability as a result of its elastomeric composition. |

The ICE Vents 2pack for shoulders made an immediate comfort improvement to my JPC.
Unfortunately, As I shared with Doug I will be returning one of the ICE Vents that were supposed to be affixed to my carrier. I was not comfortable with the idea of adhesive on my carrier.
Either way, all good! Doug still rocks with his customer service. I appreciate him👍🏽
Massive upgrade over the original for use near the neck
I've never had bosy armour that fits like a glove. Qore performance pads make all the difference in the world.
Haven't ran it hard yet, but it's worlds more comfortable than my bear shoulder straps. The weight it distributed more evenly, and it definitely allows cushion as well as ventilation. I have little experience with this material, but it seems like it has the potential to hold up to time and abuse. The only negative is the price. As nice as the pads are, it doesn't seem like it should have to cost $70.
Just a fantastic set of shoulder pads. These things work wonders and really make the plate carrier i use them on much lighter. most of the weight rests on my collar bone and shoulders, but with the ice vents, the carrier feels much better in those areas. i like how they spread the weight over a larger area, making wearing my loadout for longer periods of time much more bearable. i do believe they are worth the price and i would like to get more in the future and put them in more places to take more weight of me.
I bought one ice plate the first time round and this was the 2nd order of an ice plate and ice vent... heavy rucking has been so much better with the combination of ice vents on the straps and an ice plate on the back. Highly recommend getting these items.
Instantly felt a difference from standard, “ventilated” shoulder pads. Breathable and comfortable. Wish they came in green.
I wore these on my plate carrier for a about 6 hours straight. I honestly forget I was wearing them and the next morning I did not have any of the usual aches and pains usually associated with body armor.
Great product, very satisfied with quality
Having used these for awhile now, I am absolutely in love with these. They def. take a minute to get used to for me having used the IceVents Classics on my Exo but these really work very well for my set-up and are extremely comfortable and also really do keep me functional and cool!
