ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons (Crye AVS Harness Pad Set, hook backing, 2 / 4 / 6 Packs, fits any loop-lined plate carrier, cummerbund)
Description
[ OVERVIEW ]
Coming in packs of 2, 4 and 6, ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons provide stand-off ventilation and padding against hard body armor inside your plate carrier, cummerbund, or under your soft body armor vest for your chest, back and sides. Stand-off ventilation inside your plate carrier or soft body armor vest promotes convective thermoregulation (a.k.a "evaporative cooling" - click here to learn more about the different methods of heat transfer) and eliminating plate bag or cummerbund hotspots. ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons are the ultimate plate backer.
Say goodbye to heavy, bulky, and crude legacy body armor ventilation made from insulating, absorbing foam and switch to wafer-thin, ultra light, and hydrophobic ICEVENTS®. ICEVENTS® connect directly to the inside of all body armor equipped with body-facing loop fields/pontoon strips like our ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 Ultralight Ventilated Plate Carrier. If your carrier is not equipped with internal loop Velcro pontoons like ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3, we created our CATAMARAN Gen 3 Universal Body Armor Ventilation Adapter Panel. CATAMARAN Gen 3 provides a loop Velcro surface for mounting ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons to any plate carrier.

- 90% air by volume, weighs as little as 0.6 ounces (ICEVENTS® Aero)
- Omni-directional venting keeps you dry and comfortable
- Plush hexagonal honeycomb for unmatched load-bearing comfort
- Load distribution architecture that outperforms foams, reducing fatigue
- Anti-microbial
- Abrasion resistant
- Washable (if needed)
- Stimulates superficial blood flow to improve circulation

Crye Precision AVS Harness Pad Set
The all-new ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilated AVS Harness Pad Set is a set of four or six upgraded ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons that directly replace the six foam pads that come standard with every Crye Precision AVS (Adaptive Vest System). The Crye Precision AVS has been in use with USSOCOM since 2012, but despite significant advances in load-bering technology since then, the AVS hasn't had any major updates. That ends now with the ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilated AVS Harness Pad Set upgrade.
Built on the venerable ICEVENTS® Classic plate carrier ventilation pad platform using proprietary Stimulite® honeycomb technology, ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilated AVS Harness Pad Sets provide stand-off ventilation and padding under the Crye Precision AVS Harness to dramatically improve air flow and long-term wear comfort. Stand-off ventilation inside the Crye Precision AVS promotes evaporative cooling (click here to learn more about the different types of cooling/energy transmission) and eliminates hotspots. The set of ICEVENTS® plate carrier ventilation pads feature permanently bonded Velcro hook backing for customizable placement of the ventilated pads inside the AVS Harness.
ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons are designed for use on your torso (front and/or back) or Velcro loop bearing cummerbunds (Crye AVS, AXL Equinox, etc.). They are not intended for use as shoulder pads. For ICEVENTS® plate carrier shoulder pads, click here.
ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons are available in black and only sold in pairs. They are not available a la carte and are completely covered by your armor and your body...even if we made these in Coyote Brown, nobody would see your ninja-ness.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All ICEVENTS® products across all packages/bundles in the entire ICEVENTS® Collection, use one of two footprints, ICEVENTS® Classic or ICEVENTS® Aero. The only two differences other than footprint, are the backing (PowerMesh, hook backed, hook-receptive loop backed) and the size (all pads are full size except holster pads which are half size).
Each Package Includes:
- 2x / x4 / x6 (Quantity dependent on ICEVENTS® Pack Size selection) ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons
- Click here for sewing instructions (STRENUOUS APPLICATIONS)
- CATAMARAN Gen 3 is recommended for any plate carrier that does not have loop Velcro fields on the inside of the plate bag (optional)
ICEVENTS® are ideal for dry and arid climates where evaporative cooling is effective. For humid climates, we recommend the unrivaled conductive cooling power of ICEPLATE® Curve.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
