[ OVERVIEW ]
Performance under pressure.
The all-new ICEVENTS® Holster Pad featuring Stimulite® honeycomb technologyeliminates the pressure point (hotspot) created by the Safariland UBL (Universal Belt Loop) and the Safariland CUBL (Cantable Belt Loop) on the nerves that control your lower leg. Despite weighing next to nothing, the ICEVENTS® Holster Pad also provides stand-off ventilation and is fully optimized for the Safariland UBL and the Safariland CUBL (our favorite holster adapter because of weight and simplicity with adjustability). The mount height/placement can be adjusted for use with or without leg straps.
Holster Adapter Compatibility Table*:
| Holster Adapter | ICEVENTS® Holster Pad Best Fit |
| Safariland UBL | ICEVENTS® Aero Holster Pad |
| Safariland CUBL | ICEVENTS® Aero Holster Pad |
| True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adaptor) | ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad |
| Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter | ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad |
| Guardian Warrior Solutions Bang Hanger | ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad |
*This table is not exhaustive for all ICEVENTS® Holster Pad compatible holsters, but these are amongst the more popular market options we have confirmed compatibility with. Mounting via OneWrap and/or adhesive Velcro allows for mounting to most conventional holster adapter setups.
ICEVENTS® Holster Pads are available in black only, no other colors are planned. They are almost completely covered by your holster and holster adapter, so even if we made these in Coyote Brown, nobody would see your ninja-ness.
If you have a True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adapter), Guardian Warrior Solution Bang Hanger, or Blue Force Gear Holster Adapter, buy the ICEVENTS® Classic Holster Pad which is designed for all three holster adapters.
Safariland VUBL and QUBL: ICEVENTS® Aero Holster Pads can only be secured to the Safariland VUBL/QUBL via the included Adhesive-backed Hook Velcro Square. The Velcro OneWrap band is not compatible with the Safariland VUBL Adjustable Platform or the Safariland QUBL Universal Belt Loop because of the adjustment mechanism, leaving the adhesive-backed Hook Velcro as the only attachment method. Running the adhesive-backed Hook Velcro only, without the OneWrap band, works for some customers with lighter applications, but it is not something we recommend for full-use, hard duty applications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All ICEVENTS® Classic products use the same footprint. All ICEVENTS® Aero products use the same footprint. The only difference is the backing (PowerMesh, hook backed, hook-receptive loop backed) and the size (all pads are full size except holster pads which are half size).

[ WHAT'S INCLUDED ]
*The hook-receptive loop fabric is designed for ventilation and has a lighter hook/loop adhesion than you might be used to for military-specification Velcro®. When used with the included OneWrap, it is strong enough to secure the ICEVENTS® Aero Holster Pad to your holster platform since it is pressing up against your leg.

Excellent product and the air cooling is significant, however there is a horizontal line without the hex padding at the bottom which i cannot see a purpose for. It is right at the level with the bottom edge of the cubl attachment, right where the most padding would be needed for my situation. If this is intentional i cant see why. Will still use it as other hotspots are positively effected.
Hi Skip,
The horizontal honeycomb gap is intentional. It allows users to cut an additional lashing point if desired, without disrupting the structural integrity of the ICEVENTS® honeycomb matrix. We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions. #StayFrosty

This thing works well on my mid ride, no more stabbing in my leg!

The icevents pads definitely makes a difference. Before the icevents pads, after hours of use, I will feel pressure around the holster area and will eventually become sore. Now, I don't even noticed it. I have taken several hikes, including a night hike and trained with it several times and it feels very comfortable. I highly recommend this upgrade to anyone. I even bought another one for my other belt.

It's a great product. I like my holster low but I'm a shorter person and my holster kept digging into my thigh. With the holster pad it's world of a diffrence in comfort.

My holster was very uncomfortable to wear and left my leg bruised after a day at the range. I figured no big deal just suck it up. Then I heard about the Qore holster pad. Well, now with the holster pad I can comfortably wear it all day with zero discomfort whatsoever.

I've noticed that after a while the Safariland UBL tended to jab into my hip and cause pain. I bought this and instantly the problem went away.

The best quality and comfort!

Helped relieve some hip pain. Not totally, but enough to make wearing a heavy 1911/light combo bearable on 16 hour shifts. As an added bonus, makes the holster ride more vertically rather than canting outward

I followed the YouTube tutorial provided by the manufacturer. The adhesive on this padding is not adequate. The padding moved around on me daily and eventuallyy fell off. I like the idea, I didn't like the execution.
Hi Cameron,
Use of the included OneWrap is recommended in the Instruction video starting at 3:04. Here is a link to that video:
https://youtu.be/s2GzZ7o-1QA?t=183
Additionally, use of the included OneWrap is mentioned on the product page itself in the OVERVIEW section: 'Running the adhesive-backed Hook Velcro only, without the OneWrap band, works for some customers with lighter applications, but it is not something we recommend for full-use, hard duty applications.'
Following all of the instructions and using the OneWrap band will solve your problem immediately. We hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any additional questions.
