Oceanside, CA and Knoxville, TN — July 2, 2026 — BDS Tactical Gear has partnered with Qore Performance, Inc. to launch a complete, mission-ready hydration and thermoregulation setup directly onto the shelves of military Exchange (AAFES) and selected Marine Corps Exchange (MCX) locations overseas.

By pairing the Qore Performance ICEFLASK® canteen with the BDS Tactical Gear Inner Cummerbund Winglet system, this partnership puts wearable cooling, heating, and hydration right where service members shop on post, making it immediately accessible for standard plate carrier setups.

“We at BDS Tactical Gear are excited to build on the long-term relationship with Qore Performance, bringing quality American-made products to the brave patriots that defend our nation every day,” said Mike Bornfriend, President / CEO of BDS Tactical Gear.

System Capabilities & Performance Specs

The combined system integrates directly into service members’ existing plate carrier setups, providing high-retention utility without adding bulky, shifting pouches to the exterior of the kit.

Qore Performance ICEFLASK®: A rugged, 0.5L (16.9 oz) rigid hydration canteen designed to be frozen or filled with hot water to provide active temperature management alongside hydration. It is built specifically to match the slim form factor of a standard PRC-152 tactical radio, allowing it to slide into space-saving radio pockets rather than heavy, traditional round bottle pouches.

BDS Tactical Gear Inner Cummerbund Winglet Pouch: Built using heavy-duty hook-and-loop fields to mount securely underneath a plate carrier’s cummerbund in a ‘radio wing’ configuration. The premium elastic construction offers tight, zero-slop retention. This multi-role pouch is highly versatile, engineered to securely carry the ICEFLASK®, standard NATO radios, or standard 30-round M4-style 5.56 magazines.

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®.

• 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
