The condensed water on the surface of the IcePlate plate will penetrate the clothing layer and evaporate, thereby cooling the soldier's body. The manufacturer said IcePlate's "operation time " lasted for 3-4 hours.

When empty, the empty IcePlate weighs only 340 grams. The price per plate is US $ 39.
