This Technical Plate Carrier Overview breaks down the T.REX Arms AC1.5—a refined evolution of the original AC1—using standardized, data-driven testing. We evaluate the AC1.5’s weight, materials, construction, and thermal transmittance performance, as well as its integration with the Qore Performance IceAge Ecosystem for enhanced cooling, heating, and hydration.
In this video, you’ll find:
Objective wet/dry weight measurements
Material and hardware composition
Thermal transmittance test results (30°F temperature differential)
Compatibility with ICEPLATE®, ICEVENTS®, ICEFLASK®, and CATAMARAN Gen 3
Sizing and plate fit guide
