Qore Performance Introduces CATAMARAN Gen 3: The Next Evolution in ICEVENTS-enhanced Universal Plate Carrier and Soft Armor Vest Ventilation

Monday, October 28th, 2024

Knoxville, TN—Qore Performance is thrilled to announce the launch of CATAMARAN Gen 3: a universal ICEVENTS® ventilation adapter panel for hard and soft armor. CATAMARAN Gen 3 continues Qore Performance’s Gen 3 evolution across the ICEPLATE EXO®, ICEVENTS®, and IMS families of cutting-edge thermoregulation and performance enhancement solutions. Built on the all-new ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 architecture, CATAMARAN Gen 3 delivers ultimate comfort and airflow to older/issued plate carriers and soft armor vests. CATAMARAN Gen 3 adapts seamlessly to the style of armor: overt or covert, hard or soft, MOLLE or slick, upgrading legacy armor systems with bleeding-edge evaporative thermoregulation technology that is hydrophobic, anti-microbial at the molecular level, and 90% air by volume.

Standard plate carrier designs trap heat against the body, creating stifling microclimates and discomfort for the end-user. Few plate carriers offer the built-in relief of stand-off ventilation like the Qore Performance ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3, and many rely on heavy foam or spacer mesh padding that retains heat and moisture as evidenced in these empirical tests. CATAMARAN Gen 3 redefines ventilation with its laser-cut Velcro grid field, offering a universal fit for a set of ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons to ensure maximum airflow and comfort on any carrier in any environment—all at an ultralight total weight of just 5 oz.

CATAMARAN Gen 3 makes upgrading contemporary and legacy carriers (JPC 2.0, U.S. Army MSV, USMC PC Gen III, etc.) easier with ICEVENTS® convective thermoregulation power. With its intuitive design, CATAMARAN Gen 3 offers ultimate adaptability and integrates seamlessly via MOLLE, Elastic Side Straps, Velcro One-Wrap, or Elastic Shock Cord—providing confident compatibility with any vest configuration.

Key Features of CATAMARAN Gen 3:

– Universal Compatibility: Engineered for ultimate adaptability, CATAMARAN Gen 3 brings ICEVENTS® ventilation technology to virtually any plate carrier or soft armor vest, integrating seamlessly with MOLLE, Elastic Side Straps, Velcro straps, Velcro One-Wrap, or Elastic Shock Cord for market-wide compatibility.

– ICEVENTS® Integration: Securely mounts ICEVENTS® Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons, enhancing airflow and reducing hot spots.

– Customizable Ventilation: This feature allows users to personalize pontoon placement based on individual preference in Parallel, Venturi, or any other configuration to fit any end-user body shape/size.

To achieve ultimate all-aspect thermoregulation, pair CATAMARAN Gen 3 with IMS Versa, uniting ICEVENTS® evaporative cooling with ICEPLATE® Curve’s conductive cooling, heating, and hydration for unparalleled thermoregulation and environmental inoculation capability augmentation.

AUSA 24 – EXTRAGUARD by GORE-TEX Defense Fabrics

Thursday, October 24th, 2024

Imagine a lightweight, highly durable footwear upper material with very low water absorption. Meet EXTRAGUARD.

This boot is from German manufacturer Meindel.

I first became aware of the EXTRAGUARD material at Enforce Tac and was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of boots featuring this new footwear technology from GORE-TEX Military Fabrics at AUSA. I immediately considered it for hot, wet aka jungle boots, but it looks like a couple of European brands are creating new temperate models.

This boot is by Slovak brand BOSP.

EXTRAGUARD isn’t a membrane like you’d expect from WL Gore & Co. Instead, it’s a stand alone material that looks like leather. It is sealed with GORE Seam Tape and may be used in conjunction with a GORE-TEX lining (inner bootie construction) for additional environmental protection.

Its durability and low water absorption means it doesn’t wrinkle, crease, warp, or fade. It’s also 40% lighter than leather and has low conductive heat loss when wet. It also dries faster than leather and doesn’t look worn out once it’s dry.

CTOMS Academy – Hypothermia Training

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024

The leaves have changed colour and are beginning to fall to the ground. The days are shorter and colder. The wind is crisp and chilling. Winter is on its way. Along with the winter season, there is an increase in the frequency of hypothermia from November to March in the Northern Hemisphere. The incidence of mortality in the US is around 1500 per year. In much colder countries, however, the mortality rates are much higher. Canada, for example, can have thousands of hypothermia related deaths per year. Such significant numbers should be taken seriously.

In the CTOMS Academy Hypothermia Management – Foundation course, Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, a renowned expert in hypothermia, teaches the basics of understanding, identifying, and treating hypothermia. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of temperature regulation, the human body’s physiology, hypothermia classifications, prevention of heat loss, and hypothermia response. The course also includes a video on cold water immersion. In Hypothermia Management – Advanced, he builds on the Foundation course and provides detailed instruction on the pathophysiology of hypothermia, including hypothermia in the presence of trauma. This course is designed for professional care providers but is also beneficial for non-professionals.

With an ounce of protection and forearmed with knowledge of hypothermia prevention and treatments, we are better prepared to protect ourselves and those around us in this particularly hazardous season.
