The Perfect Hydration Tube: Source and Qore Performance Team Up on Tube Collaboration for IcePlate Curve

Monday, March 30th, 2020

Sterling, VA: Tired of inadequate hydration hoses, Qore Performance and Source have joined forces to create a custom version of the Source Tactical Drink Tube, built specifically for IcePlate Curve and IcePlate MOLLE Combo. This custom tube combines Source’s best-in class Helix Bite Valve drink tube with a 90 Degree Hard Elbow Qore Performance created specifically for IcePlate Curve. “This collaboration is super exciting for us because it delivers everything we want in a hydration tube: low-visibility signature, durability, reliability, and zero tube-kink risk. It really is the perfect drink tube,” said Qore Performance Co-Founder & CEO, Justin Li.

Qore Performance released IcePlate Curve in August 2019, exactly three years after they launched the original IcePlate Classic in August 2016. IcePlate Curve is the only hydration system in the world that can deliver four distinct benefits to the user with water they already carry: cooling, heating, hydration, and impact protection. Matching the exact geometry of a Medium ESAPI armor plate, IcePlate Curve delivers 50oz./1.5L and 70 watts of cooling in an ultra-slim, conformal package designed to minimize profile and boost physiological performance with a nearly indestructible package that can be worn under armor plates, over armor plates, or stand-alone for safety, recreational, and training applications.

A key component to IcePlate Curve is the IceCap. IceCap, designed and assembled by Qore Performance, is the Quick Disconnect drink tube interface for IcePlate Curve that uses the 28-410 thread standard, allowing it to be used on almost any plastic bottle product from Coca-Cola/Dasani in the world, in addition to IcePlate Curve.

The Source Tactical Drink Tube and Helix Bite Valve are currently standard on all Military and Law Enforcement orders placed with Qore Performance. They will come standard on all IcePlate Curves and be available as a stand-alone product starting April 1, 2020. Currently, they are available exclusively through Qore Performance’s website.

Qore Performance, Inc. is actively enhancing human performance and safety with wearable thermoregulation technology for military, law enforcement and safety professionals everywhere. Their IceAge Ecosystem enhances human physiological performance through thermoregulation under kit and while training. Qore Performance’s solutions were born out of a critical need identified by Co-Founder Justin Li, to improve performance and safety while working as a sworn law enforcement officer in the California desert.

Qore Performance products are proudly Made in the USA.

Watershed Joins Kitsbow, Industry Nine, Oowee Products in COVID-19 Response

Switching from Drybags to Face Shields, Watershed helps WNC gear makers produce 1,000,000 units a month

Asheville, NC (March 29, 2020) – Known for their top of the line submersible packs, duffels and cases, Watershed Drybags joins the ranks of Kitsbow, Industry Nine and Oowee Products in creating hundreds of thousands of face shields in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The brand, who also outfits several military units including the Navy SEALs, is assisting by cutting out clear polycarbonate shields to be used in the end design of the reusable, protective medical equipment.

Led by cycling clothing company, Kitsbow and cycling component brand, Industry Nine, the foursome went from manufacturing their own products to pumping out thousands of face shields a week within days. By working together on sourcing, production and development, the brands shifted into high gear cutting 30,000+ shields ready for assembly in just one day (on March 27).

“Industry Nine CEO and friend, Clint Spiegel, called me after hours on Tuesday March 24, wanting to see if our automated cutting table could cut the shield material. We rushed some personnel back to the shop, and within 30 minutes had laid out the patterns and successfully cut parts. We are proud to be contributing to the nationwide effort at PPE production.”

The shields will be distributed regionally and nationally to medical professionals and first responders and began shipping on Saturday (March 28). The goal is to make and ship 1,000,000 a month. See www.kitsbow.com/collections/medical for more information on the PPE products.

Watershed Drybags are known for their patented Drybag technology that uses their one-of-a-kind ZipDry closure system, abrasion resistant polyurethane-coated fabric and radio frequency welded joints. The end result is a bag so airtight and watertight it can endure up to 300 feet of underwater pressure. Their bags were born from a love of whitewater kayaking, but have filtered into many arenas over the years such as preppers/survivalists, the military, and mountain biking.

MATBOCK Monday – Efforts to Help Supply Critical Medial Gear

Monday, March 30th, 2020

MATBOCK has taken an expeditionary portable chlorine machine and is putting it to work by bottling the chlorine into 3.25oz bottles. Additionally, they are working to hire Virginia Beach locals that are without work during this time to assist in the production.

The idea came from one of their employees, John Bottoms, who spent years traveling to over 30 countries assisting in disaster relief. Having spent time in austere locations battling Ebola, he knew exactly how to get us set up and running.

Simply mix one bottle with 32oz of COLD water and you will have a surface disinfectant or a hand sanitizer alternative. Sold as a 6 pack.

For every bottle you buy we will donate a bottle to a local hospital. If you’re a healthcare provider and need direct support, email orders@matbock.com

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Movies to Watch

Sunday, March 29th, 2020

I have wanted to do a post about the best War movies. This is not easy, as everyone has a different opinion about what makes a good movie. Here is how I look at them. First of all,

I do not like movies that were made as “protest movies” like Apocalypse Now (yes, a great movie, but do not watch the extended cut) and sometimes it is hard to tell, especially when you watched them as a kid. Then they release the “director’s cut”, like the Big Red One, and bam there it is – protest film. On the other hand, there are movies made to push a cause, like the Green Berets or Wake Island. Both are great movies and I do not have a problem with them. I just want to show both sides, I do not think you will see a movie like them ever again. I know you are saying to yourself everything that comes out of Hollywood is protesting something. Very true, but some are not as easy to spot as another. Then there are great movies that I just can’t watch. Saving Private Ryan is one of the best movies out there, but I can’t watch it because of Corporal Upham. He was the guy they took with them as a translator. The guy who played him did a great job, but I just want to punch him in the face. He got a lot of people killed. Nope, I can’t watch it, hate that guy. I still think if I see that actor walking down the street, I might punch him. I have seen some of the newer movies, but I really can’t watch them as they just hit too close to home.

Here are some of the movies I like, in no real order. I tried to put the Navy related ones first as this article is supposed to be about diving. The Fighting Sullivan’s might be my favorite, as it is really about brotherhood and, of course, The Frogman. My first ship deployment was an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), on the USS Juneau, and we were part of the invasion of Somalia. The Juneau was the same name of the ship the Sullivan’s were on that sank. I am sure as soon as I send this to Eric I will think of more. Sorry, I do not have the links for all of them. Please share the ones you think I have missed. There are some great movies out there that feature different parts of history that could be quickly forgotten. I hope this helps jog your memory of some of the great military films out there.

Unity Tactical – Remora for 3M Peltor Helmet Adapters

Friday, March 27th, 2020

Professional warriors face a constant struggle of combining various pieces of kit, made by various manufacturers, to meet their mission requirements. These items are usually not designed with integration in mind since the manufacturer is generally focused on making their own product to a certain government specification. Integration is therefore left up to the individual in the field, who finds creative ways to ghetto-rig components into a useable-enough solution. After all: warfighters can make anything work given enough 100mph tape, zip-ties, 550 cord, and Velcro; necessity being the mother of all invention. Unity Tactical is dedicated to providing industry-leading innovation in the category of systems integration. Basically: we make stuff that makes your stuff work better with other stuff.

Enter the Remora® for 3M Peltor™ Helmet Adapters. Based off the original Remora® for the popular MARK line of headset helmet adapters, this version is designed to integrate with factory 3M products. It provides a mechanically attached mounting surface for various lights and rings. Helmet-mounted spotlights are often used by warfighters and law enforcement professionals for searching dark areas during SSE, SAR, and other tactical operations. However, helmet real estate quickly disappears when helmet-mounted headsets are worn. The most ubiquitous headset mount is the factory unit from 3M Peltor™. Almost every other headset maker copies this proven design or purchases adapters direct from 3M. The large mounting hub leaves little-to-no rail left for other accessories, leaving end users to precariously attach mission critical lights and cameras via Velcro, tape, and zip-ties. The Remora® for 3M Peltor™ changes all that by integrating directly into the factory hub and placing a mounting platform directly above it.

The installation is quick and easy. It can even be done in the field with a multitool. Internal detents provide solid click rotational adjustments so the user can confidently position the light in a desired direction. The platform features standard M1913 Picatinny along with a footprint that accepts any device with a Scout base. It also accepts the popular Unity Tactical FUSION line of accessories. The Remora® for 3M Peltor™ will work with any 3M-style backplate for use on Ops-Core™, Team Wendy™, Crye Precision™, MTEK™, HHV™ helmets (and many more). It is injection molded from impact-resistant polymer and made in the U.S.A.

With an MSRP of $32, the Remora® for 3M Peltor™ is a cost-effective upgrade to any tactical helmet. The solid lockup helps ensure expensive lights and accessories will not be lost during kinetic operations. And it provides enhanced capability with easy access and solid rotation. Government pricing is available for unit/agency purchases. Available now.
