AIR-Plate® Cooling System
Active Cooling System for body armour.
When heat builds beneath your vest, sweat increases, strain rises and focus fades. AIR-Plate® delivers active airflow beneath your vest — right where heat and moisture accumulate. No ice. No water. No pre-cooling. Just controllable airflow whenever you need it.
Developed with precision for tactical use.
Validated by an independent Swiss institute.
Built through multiple product generations.
Designed for heat, pressure and long shifts.
The Problem
Body armour is designed to protect. Yet beneath it, airflow is restricted. Heat and moisture accumulate, sweat evaporates less effectively, and your body must work harder to regulate its temperature. As heat exposure increases, so does the physical strain — at the exact moment you need to remain focused, composed and ready to perform.
Heat and moisture remain trapped beneath your vest.
Your body's natural cooling process is restricted.
Your body works harder as heat and physical strain increase.
Staying clear, alert and composed becomes more difficult.
Stay protected. Manage the heat.
The Solution
AIR-Plate® creates controlled airflow where heat and moisture normally accumulate. Compact fan modules move warm, humid air away from the body and support evaporative cooling — helping reduce heat build-up, physical strain and loss of focus.
How It Works
Simple to use. Easy to control. Built for the field.
Wear the UnderVest beneath your body armour or attach the DirectMount system to a compatible vest or plate carrier.
Use the Power Controller to start airflow whenever heat and moisture become a problem.
Choose between three airflow levels and adjust the intensity as conditions change.
AIR-Plate supports evaporative cooling, helping you remain focused, composed and ready to perform.
Performance Outcomes
AIR-Plate® is designed for professionals who cannot compromise on performance.
Supports clear decisions and consistent performance as temperatures rise.
Helps preserve energy in demanding conditions.
Eases the burden of heat on your body.
Active airflow reduces sweat build-up beneath your body armour.
Cooling and reduced moisture create a more comfortable wearing experience.
Less retained moisture helps reduce odour and creates a fresher environment beneath your vest.
Alpha Team
Our limited AIR-Plate® Alpha Edition is launching soon through the Kickstarter presale. Before AIR-Plate goes public, we're building a team of forward-thinking professionals to lead the way.
Alpha Team members who back AIR-Plate during Alpha Access become Alpha Operators — with exclusive presale pricing, an individual operator number and exclusive operator gear.
This is not a newsletter. It is your chance to experience the future of body armour.

Validation
AIR-Plate® was developed and refined in Switzerland over six years. The principle is simple: create active airflow where body armour restricts natural ventilation. The engineering behind it is not. Independently tested by a Swiss institute, AIR-Plate was built for professionals who cannot afford to compromise on performance.
