Qore Performance launches CATAMARAN (Universal MOLLE Plate Carrier Ventilation Adapter Panel)

Monday, October 16th, 2023

Knoxville, TN — Wearing a plate carrier can be oppressively hot and uncomfortable. Any gear that keeps bullets out naturally also traps heat in. One of the few ways to find necessary relief is to get air flowing between your body and the plate carrier, but getting that airflow to be constant and persistent without lowering your defenses is a huge challenge. It’s a challenge for manufacturers as well; very few plate carriers today are built with any type of stand-off ventilation capability (our ICEPLATE EXO® is one of a few exceptions). Instead, many manufacturers use dense foams and other inferior technologies like spacer mesh to provide a soft feel – but which trap heat and retain moisture.

ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons facilitate air flow and eliminate hot spots between your carrier, your armor plates, and your torso. But up to this point, they haven’t been compatible with most carriers, as they required plate bags equipped with loop Velcro fields on the interior face (a small number of carriers have this feature) or plate carriers that were modified with aftermarket sewn-on Velcro loop (a heavy, if sometimes impossible, lift). Today, that changes with the launch of our all-new CATAMARAN Universal MOLLE Plate Carrier Ventilation Adapter Panel. CATAMARAN brings the  magic of our ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons to every MOLLE-equipped plate carrier on the market today (and even some that are not equipped with MOLLE).

Like any great tool, CATAMARAN solves a complex problem, but it is incredibly simple to use. CATAMARAN works as an ultralight interface that attaches securely to the MOLLE field on your plate carrier and provides a Velcro-loop field interface to secure ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons in place. Constant airflow. Hotspots gone. On all carriers – in an incredibly easy to install package.

CATAMARAN is now available for purchase exclusively on QorePerformance.com. For more information or media inquiries, please visit www.QorePerformance.com or contact Qore Performance via email or by calling 703.755.0724.

Introducing The New S.O.Tech Laser Cut Tactical Symbology Patches

Friday, October 13th, 2023

A Modern Twist On A S.O.Tech Original

S.O.Tech has new additions to their full line of tactical symbology which now include a modern twist on a S.O.Tech original. We have been making our embroidered symbology patches for about 15 years now. Therefore, we are pleased to announce our new laser cut tactical symbology patches. They were designed as a Mil Std 2525C supplement to accurately represent specialized job functions at the individual level. Originally, because S.O.Tech’s line of bags (Mission Go Bag and Mission Pack) were so multi-functional, they needed an identifier so the operator could easily determine what was inside the bag. Our bags were being used to hold sniper gear, medical gear, breacher gear, and commo gear. So, during a medical emergency, we created the medical patch so you could tell that pack from the others. SOCOM and USASOC allowed us to include these patches on our bags and patches throughout the GWOT, so you’ve probably seen them across the spectrum.

S.O.Tech has also adapted the symbols for use on patches which can be worn to designate various functions at the small unit level, whether on the pack or on a person. This can be an excellent way to identify special skills-centric gear to cut through the “fog of war” during chaotic situations. The new line of laser cut patches include Medic, Rifleman, Grenadier, Light Machine Gunner, and Heavy Machine Gunner.

We have two different variations of our patches. The first option being a IR honeycomb reflective and the second option being an IR only.

Price: $25

FS Friday Focus – Vertical Envelopment Pack

Friday, October 13th, 2023

The VEP (Vertical Envelopment Pack) is a top-opening, roll-closure pack that is secured by tubes, making it an ideal pack for insertion and extraction operations. It can be mounted on FirstSpear Plate Carriers and flipped over the head for quick access to the contents inside. The front hanging feature also provides additional safety and comfort during infiltration when seated in armored vehicles and helicopters. This means that you can be assured of having quick and easy access to your gear, even in high-pressure scenarios.

Developed to “go forward from the objective rally point (ORP),” the VEP provides the assaulter with a unique capability which augments the full spectrum of modern combat operations. It provides the shooter with a clean shoulder pocket when shoulder firing a weapon, minimizing underarm “clutter”. This is especially important in tight and confined spaces where you need to be agile and have the ability to move quickly without any hindrance.

One of the most notable features of the VEP is its versatility. The pack and carrier can be removed and reassembled as one, making quick work for casualty inspection and treatment. Rapid jettison of FirstSpear Plate Carriers does not change with or without the VEP on. This means that you don’t have to worry about leaving gear behind or fumbling around trying to remove the pack in an emergency situation.

In terms of design, the VEP is a well-thought-out pack that is not only functional but also comfortable. It’s made from durable materials that are built to withstand the toughest conditions. The pack also features a range of compartments and pockets that are designed to provide ample storage space for all of your gear. Whether you’re a military professional or a prepared citizen, the VEP has everything you need to stay organized and prepared for anything.

The SOCOMRC3 Suppressor from SureFire

Thursday, October 12th, 2023

I spent last week putting several thousand rounds through the latest suppressor from SureFire, the SOCOMRC3. I can attest, like the title of this video claims, it offers low back pressure without compromise. I never got even a whiff of exhaust from back pressure. This video is a great introduction to the next generation of SureFire suppressors.
