ICEPLATE can be worn either on the front or back. For first-time users, we recommend trying it on the back. For more information on positioning, read our blog post: How to wear ICEPLATE. For varied armor setups, here are some options: Soft Body Armor: Use our Velcro Armor Straps for optimal height adjustment. Hard Armor/Plate Carrier: Attach the ICEPLATE using various items like Zipties, spare boot laces, or 550 cord. It fits well inside plate bags with their armor plate (depending on the armor type). External Armor Carry: Our IMS is the ideal solution for durable, low-profile hydration for military and law enforcement. Industrial/Commercial: Consider our ICEVEST HiVis Safety Vest for a comprehensive safety solution integrating cooling, heating, and visibility features.
