I just received my IcePlate Curve and eager to try it out here in the Sonoran Desert. I run 5-6x per week during lunch over the summer months with temperatures ranging from 100F to 118F. Man, this is going to feel good. Nicely done! This may make a handful of appearances on my channel. Keep up the great work and thanks for the product innovation.
Awesome! That sounds like a PERFECT application. Let us know how it goes and if there are any questions you have after watching the instruction video. #StayFrosty
As a Saudi special force, this things helps along specially the heat here which goes 50°C, thanks for investing such an smart durable, etc hydration bladder, I can't thank you guys enough

Awe crap, I just adjusted my Crye SPC (I'm small and had to overlap the cumberbun, pain in the rear), and now I see this, welp, looks like more weaving for me, lol. Genius product!!! Especially for us FL guys!
Airsofter here just picked mine up today and I'm honestly fairly impressed with every aspect of this the angled bottom to route water to the drinking tube, the rigidity in the center The ability for the tube to be used with water bottles there's just a lot of really clever and smart product design going on here! I also don't Really need real ballistic plates In my Airsoft PC's So I was wondering if it was a good idea to use it inside the actual plate compartment or if that would cut off too much cooling?
Our company is all about empowering end-users with optionality, so you can run IcePlate either way! The level of insulation will depend on the specific make/model of your carrier, materials used, and the construction methods. Any PC with SpacerMesh will be problematic as SpacerMesh is basically insulation. We share our thoughts and experiences with SpacerMesh here: th-cam.com/video/Z_FglsQyJ1c/w-d-xo.html
I hooked my ice plate into the top molle slip on the rear of my Crye JPC 2.0. I think that might work better because my shoulder strap won't get tangled up with it.

Hello. Regarding the IcePlate Curve. It is offered in black left but not black right. Will you be offering black right and if so any idea on time? Thanks
I really like the idea, but when I took it out to the field a month ago I was having a ton of leaking problems from where the hose meets the ice plate. Looking at the hose it looks like there's a spot for an o-ring, but there wasn't one. I made one out of electrical tape and that stopped the leaking problem, but then drinking water created a vacuum in the plate that collapsed it. Kinda dissapointed.

If you could send a video and/or photos of the issues you are experiencing to Info [at] Qore Performance [dot] com, it will help us diagnose the problem to get you squared away ASAP under our IcePlate Forever Warranty.

It was just missing an o-ring. I was able to get an extra one from my buddy who has a source hydration kit. Small oversight by Qore to miss the o-ring which kind of sucks, but other than that the ice plate's been treating me well now.
