Cana Provisions and Qore Performance Launch Water Data Decals for ICEFLASK® – Modular Thermoregulation with On-Body Water Treatment Reference

Monday, March 9th, 2026

Huntsville, AL / Knoxville, TN — Cana Provisions, in collaboration with Qore Performance, Inc.,announces the release of the Water Data Decals for ICEFLASK® , a mission-critical evolution of the PRC-152-shaped handheld thermoregulation and hydration bottle. These detailed decals allow all ICEFLASK® users to add the same water purification protocols, treatment dosages, sanitization instructions and conversion tables directly to their ICEFLASK®.

Directly derived from the Water Data ICEFLASK® the ICEFLASK® Water Data Decals offer the user the ability to augment their standard, unmarked ICEFLASK® bottle with the same field-tested water treatment data.

Key Features:

  • Permanent on-body reference: purification tablet dosing, chemical treatment ratios, boil times, filtration guidelines, common volume/weight conversions, and critical warnings.
  • Modular thermoregulation that can be added to plate carriers and chest rigs for on-body cooling and heating capability.
  • Zero additional weight or bulk
  • Dimensions closely matching the PRC-152 radio for seamless fit in existing NATO radio pouches.
  • 28-410 thread standard (Coca-Cola/Dasani compatible) for improvised field cap replacement and filter compatibility.
  • Curved geometry optimized for body-worn comfort and pack pocket efficiency.
  • Stackable design doubles as a replacement for single-use ice in coolers.
  • 100% Made in the USA from US-sourced, FDA-certified, BPA-free HDPE.
  • High-Tac Adhesive backing to withstand freeze/thaw cycles
  • Heat, scratch, UV resistant
  • Die cut with matte finish
  • Legible under NVGs
  • Decals are designed, printed, packaged in the USA

Designed for dismounted operations, disaster response, training environments, and austere expeditions where contaminated water sources are the norm, both the Water Data ICEFLASK® and ICEFLASK® Water Data Decals ensures users can treat, verify, and consume safe water without external reference.

“Cana Provisions built their reputation on providing the knowledge and tools to own water security in the worst places on earth,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager of Qore Performance, Inc. “Placing that expertise directly onto ICEFLASK® [either with the decals or printing directly on the bottle itself] removes one more point of failure: the right data is always there, exactly when and where it’s needed.”

The Water Data ICEFLASK® and ICEFLASK® Water Data Decals are now available now exclusively at Cana-Provisions.com
