Knoxville, TN (October 30, 2026): Qore Performance, Inc. has officially released ICEFLASK® Gen 2, delivering a lighter weight and higher volume upgrade to its best selling cooling, heating, and hydration flask. Built to fit within standard military radio pouches as well as purpose built Qore Performance ICEFLASK® MOLLE and ICEFLASK® Wing Holsters, ICEFLASK® Gen 2 optimizes end user equipment by providing conductive cooling and heating via the water professionals already carry.
ICEFLASK® Gen 2 drops empty weight by over 25 percent compared to the original generation, coming in at under 3.9 ounces. Maximum liquid capacity increases to 20 fluid ounces, providing professionals with more hydration in the same ultra-durable hard cell profile.
ICEFLASK® Gen 2 is engineered to closely match the dimensions of standardized NATO radios, such as the PRC-152, allowing it to drop directly into existing NATO military radio pouches, negative space inside the cummerbund, and assault pack side pockets. Whether frozen for cooling or filled with hot water for heating, ICEFLASK® Gen 2 delivers direct conductive thermoregulation against the body while transitioning to drinkable water during operations.
The Gen 2 update also features an enhanced cap tether ring to prevent cap loss in rugged field conditions, paired with positive thread engagement designed for reliable operation while wearing gloves.
