PFM from Head to Toe: Qore Performance Launches All-new IceVents Insoles

Tuesday, January 18th, 2022

Sterling, VA: In their eternal quest to liberate humans from environmental constraints, Qore Performance, Inc., is excited to launch the newest addition to their popular IceVents line of ventilated load-bearing pads: IceVents Insoles. The long-awaited, much-anticipated IceVents Insoles are designed specifically for hard-use applications where ventilated insoles can provide much needed thermoregulatory advantages to the end-user.

IceVents Insoles provide durable, duty-grade ventilation in boots designed for military, law enforcement, and construction/safety applications. Engineered with zero drop, IceVents Insoles have the same height/thickness in the heel as they do in the toe. This makes them ideal for duty boots and work boots. IceVents Insoles are optimized for ventilation, not therapeutic value like an orthotic.

Anti-microbial at the molecular level, IceVents Insoles are constructed from the same thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) found throughout the IceVents line of ventilated load-bearing pads, making them absolute magic for feet while on duty.

“Our IceVents Insoles help us advance our vision for Building A Superhuman Future by taking full advantage of the fact that the soles of our feet are uniquely optimized for thermal exchange,” says Justin Li, Qore Performance Co-Founder and CEO, “providing convective ventilation in an otherwise stuffy environment enhances human performance and creates a competitive advantage where none previously existed. This is what our IceAge Ecosystem does for end-users.”  To learn more about the different types of cooling/energy transmission, click here.

IceVents Insoles feature all of the same technology that have made IceVents Classic and IceVents Aero the standard for best-in-class plate carrier padding and ventilation, rendering conventional materials like spacer mesh and foam completely obsolete:
– 90% air by volume
– Omni-directional venting keeps you dry and comfortable
– Plush hexagonal honeycomb for unmatched load-bearing comfort
– Load distribution architecture that outperforms conventional materials like spacer mesh and foam, reducing fatigue
– Anti-microbial at the molecular level
– Abrasion resistant
– Washable (if needed)
– Stimulates superficial blood flow to improve circulation

As the inventors of specialized and consumable thermoregulation for PPE users, Qore Performance bridges the gap between human and machine. Their IceAge Ecosystem protects over 30,000 daily active users in occupational safety alone. In addition to their military, law enforcement, and prepared civilian customers, dozens of America’s Fortune 1000 companies including Boeing, Dutch Bros Coffee, Charlotte Area Transit System, America’s Chicken, Marathon Petroleum, Valvoline Instant Oil Change, and FedEx depend on Qore Performance to safeguard their teams and their bottom lines. Qore Performance safety customers have worked over 4,000,000 hours since 2017 without a single minute lost to a heat injury.
