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.
