ICEPLATE® Hydration Backpack Gen 3 (with Cooling + Heating) [Chest Rig Hydration]

More comfortable and durable than a Camelbak. But more annoying and inconvenient when empty.

I like the idea of this more than I actually like it. The closer this gets to being empty the more of a hindrance it becomes. Unless I have somewhere to ditch it once I drink all the water, I don’t take it with me. Works well for short term use, especially when it’s pressed against your back. This could just be a me thing, but my back only touches 2/3s of the plate unless I’m sitting down or have a backpack on top of it.

ICEPLATE® Backpack Gen 3 (Cooling, Heating and Hydration Backpack for Military, Safety, Outdoor, Ski/Snow)

Impressive performance in a small package.

This iceplate backpack made a big difference in the comfort and enjoyment of my hiking and walking trails. I can comfortably carry less bulk and still maintain everything I need for my walks. The added benefits of being able to add hot water or freeze the iceplate gives it year round use capability in a comfortable small package.
