The Crye Precision AVS is widely regarded as the pinnacle of modular load-bearing systems as the harness dissipates load across the torso. Further structural support can be added with the Crye Precision STKSS and belt. But there is a trade-off. The AVS harness structural design presents unique challenges for heat dissipation and moisture management. In this video, we break down how to take this industry titan and supercharge it using the Qore Performance IceAge Ecosystem.
While the AVS excels at weight distribution, its closed-cell harness can act as a massive heat trap. We show you exactly how to integrate advanced thermoregulation and hydration to transform this heavy-duty chassis into a high-performance platform that actively manages your core temperature.
In This Video, We Cover:
Optimizing the Legend: Why the AVS remains the king of load carriage and where the "structural heat trap" occurs.
Active Thermoregulation: How to integrate ICEPLATE® Gen 3 and ICEFLASK® for hard cell hydration and conductive cooling.
The Ventilation Fix: Adding ICEVENTS® technology to create stand-off airflow behind the harness and plate bags.
Seamless Integration: A walkthrough of the CATAMARAN™ and IMS Pro systems to modernize the AVS interface.
The IceAge Advantage: How reducing metabolic heat buildup translates directly to increased endurance and faster split times downrange.
