Qore Performance Announces Enhanced Dealer Program With Launch Partner SOARescue

Wednesday, July 12th, 2017

Qore Performance, inventors of the IcePlate hard cell cooling and hydration solution, is proud to announce the release of the Enhanced Dealer Program in partnership with SOARescue who is now the Subject Matter Expert for all Fire/Rescue, EMS and Tactical EMS applications for the IcePlate. In this role, SOARescue will be spearheading the already rapid growth of IcePlate into Fire/Rescue, EMS and Tactical EMS applications where end users are in need of a powerful, portable rehab solution.

The expansion of IcePlate applications beyond military and law enforcement has been a vision of SOARescue for some time. “Environmental injury prevention and mitigation is often overlooked in our community. This has partially been due to inadequate equipment and education on the subject. We are incredibly excited about this partnership with Qore Performance, and the opportunity to close a capability gap” says Andrew Rowley, CEO of SOARescue.

The IcePlate will be able to be utilized in many facets of Fire/Rescue and Tactical EMS operations. “We foresee this being an incredible tool in firefighter rehabilitation after a working fire or prolonged extrication. This tool will be utilized under technical rescue gear keeping rescuers cool or warm regardless of the environmental condition(s). The multifunctional design of this amazing device will also allow for tactical medics and operators alike to remain cool and hydrated on extended operations, enhancing their own safety and performance in the process, without expanding the footprint of their kit,” concluded Rowley.

The key to packing all of this capability into small, deployable spaces is the combination of IcePlates and Pelican Coolers. The IcePlate is geometrically optimized for Pelican Coolers and delivers 30% greater storage density over bottled water. SOARescue will use this unique and groundbreaking IcePlate capability to help Fire Rescue EMS personnel bring more relief in less space – an efficiency that will make a difference on rigs already loaded with kit.

Additionally, SOARescue is the first Authorized Service Center for IcePlate. As an IcePlate ASC, SOARescue will be able to offer current IcePlate customers the ability to retrofit their existing IcePlates with Qore Performance’s cross-compatible Quick Disconnect, which allows users to connect their existing Source Hydration hoses and some CamelBak hoses to their IcePlate.

“We are excited about our partnership with SOARescue. They are the type of visionary, high-quality, high character subject matter experts with whom we love to partner,” says Justin Li, Inventor & Owner of Qore Performance, “we couldn’t ask for a better launch partner for our Enhanced Dealer Program.”

The Enhanced Dealer Program capabilities are available from SOARescue immediately. SOARescue stocks IcePlate in all colors and combinations (White/Clear, Desert Tan and Wolf Grey, with or without the cross-compatible Quick Disconnect).

Darley Defense Days – Pelican Products Inc

This is the Pelican Elite Soft Cooler. One of the things I really like about this cooler is that they’ve built and named it based on the number of cans it will hold.

This model is the 24, but there are also 12 and 48 can versions. Made from 840D double coated TPU, the cooler is insulated with 26mm of foam. It also features a leak-proof zipper, dual buckle system, steel tie down anchors, and a compression molded lid and base.

SHOT Show 17 – Qore Performance IcePlate

Thursday, January 19th, 2017

IcePlate Offers three benefits; cooling, hydration and protection.  Think of it as High School physics, wrapped in a water bottle, shaped like an armor plate.


IcePlate is intended to be worn near the body in an Armor Plate pocket on a vest.  At only 1″ thick, it’s designed to be frozen and the 50 oz of water in the IcePlate’s capacity offers 70 watts of cooling over two hours. Two IcePlates offer 140 combined watts of cooling which meets a US Army goal. What’s more, it doesn’t require power while worn. Additionally, as the ice melts, it offers portable water. Conversely, you can fill it with hot water.  It also offers 30% more water storage for the same space as bottled water. It’s also rigid, rather than floppy.  Finally, video testing indicates that use of the IcePlate behind soft armor eliminates back face deformation from the NIJ standard of 44 mm down to 0.01 mm, and that’s in all three modes, ice-filled, water-filled and empty.

The IcePlate design is stackable and incorporates an asymmetric drain so you get every last drop. At SHOT Show, Qore Performance is introducing Coyote color to join Clear and Wolf Grey.

IcePlate 2 will introduce a quick disconnect tube so you can configure your hose on your kit just once and won’t have to snake it in and out every time you fill the IcePlate.
