Nomad Announces Two New Hoodies: Spire and Axe

Sunday, September 7th, 2025

Camo hoodies work great in the field, look great around town

CHARLESTON, SC. (September 3, 2025) – Nomad Outdoor announced a pair of new camouflage hoodies, the Spire and the Axe. Both hoodies are designed to help conceal whitetail and turkey hunters while also looking great as casual wear around town.

Spire is a lightweight, half-zip style hoodie that’s great by itself in mild weather, or as the ultimate technical midlayer for the cold. Spire is made of a grid-pattern lofty fleece that helps trap warmth without requiring bulk. It has built-in stretch for easy movement, and the half-zip feature makes for easy on-and-off and adjustable breathability. The outer shell has DWR treatment to help repel water. Available in both the recently reintroduced Mossy Oak New Break Up and Bottomland, the Spire hoodie retails for $120.

The Axe hoodie is a traditional pull-over style with a large, pass-through hand warmer pocket. Made of lightweight fleece, the Axe hoodie keeps you warm without being too heavy. It also has a DWR treatment to help shed early season drizzle or fog. The Axe hoodie works great by itself, or as an extra layer for cold weather. Available in both Mossy Oak New Breakup and Bottomland, the Axe hoodie retails for $75.

Also available in the Axe line are matching gloves and a beanie, both designed for lightweight warmth during mid-season hunts. Both the Axe gloves and the Axe beanie retail for $35 each.

Qore Performance Launches ICESLEEVES: Year-Round Thermoregulation Sleeves for Cooling and Heating in Any Environment

Monday, September 1st, 2025

Knoxville, TN — Qore Performance, Inc. announces the launch of ICESLEEVES, a new modular thermoregulation solution engineered to deliver cooling and heating exactly where it counts: your body’s pulse points. ICESLEEVES draw from combat-proven TCCC protocols and are optimized for real-world application across military, industrial, tactical, and athletic environments.

Designed for standalone use or integration with Qore Performance’s larger IceAge Ecosystem, ICESLEEVES deliver precision temperature control while preserving hydration, mobility, and mental clarity in extreme climates.

Precision Cooling and Heating
ICESLEEVES regulate core temperature by targeting the brachial and ulnar/radial arterial complexes—commonly known as pulse points.

Cooling: Insert conventional ice cubes into built-in pockets for conductive and evaporative cooling, lowering core temperature in hot, dry conditions.

Heating: In cold environments, insert disposable hand warmers (sold separately) to apply conductive warmth directly to circulating blood.

Evaporative Advantage: As ice melts, it draws heat away from the body through conduction. The resulting meltwater then evaporates from the fabric and skin surface, absorbing additional heat and accelerating cooling—especially in hot, dry conditions.

Subtle, Low-Profile Design
Built for year-round use, ICESLEEVES are slim enough to be worn on their own or discreetly under uniforms, outerwear, or armor—without adding bulk or limiting mobility.

UPF 50 Rating: Provides chemical-free sun protection.
Modular Compatibility: Pair with ICEPLATE® or ICEFLASK™ to build a complete, multi-point thermoregulation system.
Universal Application: Ideal for military, law enforcement, QSR drive-thru operators, CrossFit athletes, skiers, snowboarders, runners, hikers, backpackers, and more.

“ICESLEEVES were developed to give users across all industries the ability to control their thermal environment without compromising mobility or uniform requirements,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager at Qore Performance, Inc. “Whether you’re in a drive-thru window in the summer or standing post in sub-freezing temperatures, ICESLEEVES provide critical environmental inoculation with zero bulk.”

ICESLEEVES are available now exclusively at QorePerformance.com.
