Qore Performance Launches ICEPLATE Gen 3: Cooling & Heating Thermoregulation + Hard-Cell Hydration Bladder

Friday, December 5th, 2025

Knoxville, TN — Qore Performance, Inc. announces the launch of ICEPLATE® Gen 3, the next-generation Medium ESAPI-shaped hard-cell hydration bladder that delivers 70 watts of cooling, 52 watts of heating, and 52.4 fl oz (1.55 L) of drinkable water in a single, plate carrier compatible system.

Now 20% lighter than its predecessor at 10.5 oz empty with 5% greater capacity and dramatically improved multi-curve ergonomics, ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is purpose-built for year-round use by performance-minded military, law enforcement, prepared citizens, first responders, and industrial professionals.

For full conductive thermoregulation and hydration benefits, ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is worn internally of ballistic plates via Qore Performance’s IMS Pro Gen 3 for armed professional applications, or standalone within HiVis thermoregulation vests for industrial safety use.

Powerful Performance:

70 watts conductive cooling when frozen; 52 watts heating when filled with hot water.

Delivers 2–4 hours of intensive cooling or 3–5 hours of heating, preventing heat stroke and hypothermia while augmenting human physiology for peak performance.

As ice melts from body heat, it creates ice-cold drinking water, with the system becoming progressively lighter as this water is consumed.

Features:

Seamless integration with plate carriers, chest rigs, backpacks, and HiVis safety vests.

Dual 28-410 fill ports accept ICECAP® Gen 3, Valve Cap, Closed Cap, or standard Coca-Cola/Dasani threads.

Drinkable variants include SOURCE™ 90 tube, Helix™ bite valve, and ICECAP Gen 3 quick-disconnect for rapid “Hydration As A Magazine” swaps.

ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is 100% Made in the USA by U.S. citizens from US-sourced FDA-certified, BPA-free HDPE in Iowa.

Since 2016, Qore Performance has been Building A Superhuman Future®—and ICEPLATE® is where that future began. With over 6.5 million operational hours and zero heat injuries, ICEPLATE® redefines what’s possible for professionals across business, safety, and defense. ICEPLATE® Gen 3 turns temperature into a weapon—creating decisive advantages for performance and survival where none existed before.

“ICEPLATE® Gen 3 is the most refined and capable cooling, heating, hydration system we’ve ever developed,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager of Qore Performance, Inc. “It inoculates users against extreme heat and cold while delivering mission-critical hydration, while scaling effortlessly from individual use to full enterprise and organization deployment.”

Friday, November 28th, 2025

Varusteleka has updated a popular overall issued to border guards for static duty in extreme temperatures with new materials and features. Now, it’s available in both Finnish M05 Woodland and Snow patterns. Another improvement they’ve made is compatibility with armor and chest rigs. The front can be configured as seen in this photo, allowing access to your gear while keeping it under the coverall.

The coverall is made from 100% polyamide ripstop (70g/m2) with a non-fluorinated water-repellent treatment. The coverall is also insulated with 67g/m2 Climashield Apex which allows you to remain comfortable in temperatures as low as -35°C / -31°F.

Features:

Helmet-compatible hood with a short visor
Adjustable face opening and head circumference
Hanging loop
Removable neck flap
The entire coverall can be packed into the hood
Two front zippers

The wind flap can be closed out of the way with its own hook-and-loop
Wind flaps have loops for various attachment methods (see usage methods)
2-way ventilation zippers in the armpits
Adjustable waist with elastic band
Internal suspender loops
Separate zippered fly for field relief
NIR-compliant

This coverall is made in Slovakia by Koutny and comes in three sizes.

I’m told NATO (including US) troops have made private purchases of the coverall while on deployment to Finland after seeing this the locals do it.
