Each ICEFLASK holder comes with an ICEFLASK included.

ICEFLASK, a collaboration between Qore Performance and Felix from Redbeard Tactical. It is the culmination of two years of research and development. Originally designed by Felix to improve soldier performance by utilising the ubiquitous NATO radio pouch, ICEFLASK can be seamlessly attached to the ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 or any plate carrier with Velcro using the ICEFLASK Wing Holster. This increases operational versatility. Both ICEFLASK and ICEPLATE® Curve are ICECAP-compatible with the standard 28-410 Coca-Cola thread**.

Peerless modularity

Expanding and modifying our NLBS system using mission modules is done in a few minutes and can change your entire setup.

Pictured is a split-front configuration, with the user desiring a larger gap in between the mission modules. This was archived by using short wing mission modules and our fastex split-front module.

Your possibilities are unlimited. NLBS enables you to sew your custom chest rig without any sewing skills.

This could be the last rig you'll ever purchase!

Kit setups change. Not only does this apply to pouch placement, but it also applies to the size and type of chest rig you run.

NLBS was designed with having gone through various setups during one and half decades. Sometimes, even minor required changes inevitably resulted in procuring another chest rig for up to 200 bucks.

This was the birth of our Modular Hard Point System (MHP), based on a unique tuck tab system. MHP allows to connect different mission modules to any size and base setup you want. All of this without velcro, without parasitic weight, and with the ability to reconfigure a whole setup in less than five minutes.

Want to change something? Just acquire a different mission module, and you are good to go.

No more unnecessary purchases, no more failing velcro, no gaps. MHP is loitering in a new age of truly modular load-bearing solutions.

Back In Stock: ICEFLASK

ICEFLASK by is one of our best selling products. We are glad to announce that ranger green is back in stock. Get them before they are gone.

We are proud to offer a game-changing product innovated by and .de

ICEFLASK is the logical evolution of a canteen, put into a form factor that mimics an MBITR radio, ICEFLASK allows troopers to carry one or multiple canteens without the associated weight and bulk of classic canteens.

ICEFLASK can be stored under the cummerbund of a plate carrier or on the inner side of a chest rig, reducing overall bulk.

The ICEFLASK wing holster allows it to be quickly accessed even from blind spots that otherwise would be dead space on a troopers kit. Fast access and fast reindexing result in the wearer being encouraged to rehydrate from his canteen.

Being part of a holistic hydration cycle it's shape allows ICEFLASK to be stacked in cooler boxes, so you can resupply water from vehicles or supply bases.

Additionally ICEFLASK can be frozen, enhancing soldier performance in hot weather, confirmed by evidence based research.

Tired of fogging shades and optics?

Maybe our microfiber cloth is what you are looking for. A plastic carabiner allows the user to fix it directly to his load-bearing solution for easy access. Covered in a subdued color nylon bag, the microfiber cloth can be easily pulled out and utilized in order to clean optics, shades and the like.

Sometimes, small and affordable kit choices make the biggest impact. Over are the days of "cleaning" your lenses using your BDU sleeves.

Presenting QORE Performance

Here at DEFTEX we are proud to be a retailer of QORE Performance.

For those who don't know QORE, the US based company is the world leader in thermoregulation and hydration systems. With their products being used from armed forces to corporate businesses. Especially in environments where heat is a limiting factor for performance QORE has got you covered. Let's talk about two products.

ICEPLATE is essentially a rigid hydration bladder with a capacity of 1,5 liters. The days of popping and leaking legacy bladders are therefore over.

Furthermore ICEPLATE delivers cooling or heating power directly to your body and therefore reduces the risk of cold or head induced injuries. It has the size of a SAPI plate and can be worn under or over your plate with various attachment methods and solutions.

ICEFLASK is a new take on the classic and proven canteen. Having the form factor of an MBITR radio, ICEFLASK can be worn close to the body, creating a lower profile than traditional canteens.

ICEFLASK can be frozen in order to provide cooling capacity. A specifically designed holster wing allows you to access ICEFLASK one handed, no matter where you wear it, further encouraging the user to hydrate. Last but not least, ICEFLASK can be stacked in cooling boxes, making refills out of vehicles or PBs easy.

Harness the power of thermoregulation and give QORE Performance a try.
