Knoxville, TN – [July 29, 2024] – Qore Performance®, a leader in thermoregulation and tactical gear innovation, is proud to announce the launch of ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3, the latest evolution of their Ultralight Minimalist plate carrier. This advanced performance and survivability tool goes beyond traditional plate carriers, enhancing physiological capabilities and shielding end-users from environmental challenges. “After using almost every high-end plate carrier on the market in a professional capacity overseas, I knew we had the foundational DNA for a vastly superior tool,” said Will Clark, Director of Operations at Qore Performance, “the combination of our professional experiences along with our vision for a performance-driven future of empowered individuals, gave birth to what is now ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3: the plate carrier I wanted as a professional end-user.”
Ballistic and Environmental Protection Excellence
ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 combines cutting-edge thermoregulation technology with next-generation materials to deliver one of the lightest and easily the most capable plate carriers on the market. ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 maintains a superior strength-to-weight ratio, with the side strap option weighing just 15.2 ounces and the AXL Equinox Cummerbund variant up to 23.2 ounces. Constructed from hydrophobic laminate materials with a tensile strength exceeding 600 pounds, the ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 (Berry Compliant) sheds unnecessary weight without compromising durability or performance.
The ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 is more than just a world-class plate carrier; it also integrates patented thermoregulation and hydration systems, such as the ICEPLATE®, seamlessly enhancing comfort and operational efficiency when used with body armor. By leveraging temperature regulation, the ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 expands physiological capacity, offering unparalleled advantages in extreme conditions through its unique and powerful cooling, heating, and hydration capabilities.
Key Features and Benefits
Cooling, Heating, Hydration: ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 incorporates patented ICEPLATE® and ICEVENTS® technologies, enabling operators to maximize endurance and effectiveness in any environment.

Durable and Hydrophobic: Made from high-quality, lightweight, and durable materials, ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 is built to withstand the demands of tactical operations. Its laminate construction repels water, making it ideal for maritime use.
Unprecedented Customizability: ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 is fully customizable, allowing armed professionals to tailor the carrier to their needs. It accommodates most two- or three-strand cummerbunds and integrates multiple quick-release systems into the shoulders.
Pushing the Bleeding Edge
“ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 is the first and only plate carrier in the world to actively expand the operational environment envelope, enhance physiological performance and inoculate the end user against temperature risk. ” said Justin Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Qore Performance. “ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 weaponizes temperature to create competitive advantages where none previously existed. It is a near perfect embodiment of ‘Building A Superhuman Future.”
Availability
ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 is now available exclusively on the Qore Performance website. It currently comes in Berry compliant ICEPLATE EXO® laminate, with a USMCA compliant laminate variant coming soon at a more accessible price point for those who do not require Berry compliant materials, but who still desire the precision and accuracy of in-house manufacturing done at Qore Performance in Knoxville, TN.

BATTLEFIELD PROTECTION WITH EVERYDAY STYLE
Essex Junction, Vermont (for immediate release) – Revision Military, a world leader in purpose-built ballistic eye protection for military and tactical use, now has a framework contract with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to supply a range of high-performance protective eyewear. The largest global supplier of ballistic and laser protective military eyewear solutions, Revision is the solution for major MoDs worldwide and is now available to any NATO countries wishing to purchase through NSPA – serving NATO nations, military authorities, and partner nations by providing efficient and cost-effective multinational solutions and access to Revision protective eyewear.
The contract was awarded following extensive review of Revision’s protective eyewear solutions by the NSPA. The contract duration is 3 years with options to be extended to a maximum of 2 years.
Selected by NSPA to meet the protective eyewear needs of NATO users, Revision is offering multiple kits featuring SAWFLY®, SAWFLY R3® and STINGERHAWK® spectacles, as well as DESERT LOCUST®, WOLFSPIDER®, MERLINHAWK®, AND SNOWHAWK® goggles, with EXOSHIELD® parachute eyewear completing the offering. All these products are available in a variety of lens offerings, featuring I-Vis® color enhancing high contrast lenses and LazrBloc® ballistic laser protective lenses. All revision eyewear is scalable with mission-specific accessories (prescription RX carriers, replacement lenses, replacement temple arms, retention straps, balaclavas, and more) also available through the framework contract.
Revision eyewear has been tried and tested in operations worldwide and is already in service across multiple countries delivering unmatched levels of protection, technology, and comfort.
Rene Roy, Chief of NSPA General Supply and Services stated: “As NATO’s primary enabler, NSPA’s mission is to provide effective and cost efficient multinational solutions to the Alliance, its thirty-two Nations and Partners. This contract is a good example of NSPA’s value proposition to industry: through the web-based platform of the NATO Logistics Stock Exchange (NLSE), the Agency responds to the evolving needs of customers, enabling Nations to procure on-demand systems and articles directly from manufacturers. This contributes to the preparedness of Allies for NATO missions and operations”.
Karan Rai, Revision Chairman of the Board said: “I’m proud to announce our NSPA contract award. Revision has operated in Europe for many years. This contract framework provides a streamlined procurement vehicle for NATO countries and the ability to rapidly meet real-world eyewear requirements to protect soldiers on the battlefield now and in the future. “
ABOUT I-VIS More than a single solution, I-Vis lenses are available in six tints, each optimized for use in a different environment. With the power of artificial intelligence, Revision accounted for theater-specific color vision variables that consider the color palette of locations while modeling the most likely lighting conditions to occur in that area using global data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The result is a suite of lenses, each providing the best observational experience for a given environment without compromise. The suite features mil-spec eye protection with separate tints optimized for key areas of military operation around the globe. Each tint is designed to increase contrast and elevate color recognition in specific geographic regions, doing so without the negative effects associated with traditional monochromatic lens tints.
