Qore Performance Introduces IceVents Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads

November 8th, 2018

Minimalist design is the first plate carrier shoulder pad that is 90% air by volume and weighs the same as a half piece of bread

McLean, VA, JUL. 11, 2018 Introducing IceVents: the plate carrier shoulder pad that can absorb 5000 pounds per square inch.

IceVents Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads are the result of a unique and exclusive collaboration between Qore Performance and Supracor using their proprietary Stimulite Technology. Stimulite is a highly sophisticated, impact-absorbing hexagonal honeycomb thermoplastic elastomer or TPE that is currently used in some of the world’s most advanced aircraft including the F/A-18 Hornet and the 787 Dreamliner.

IceVents can be added to any load bearing gear like plate carriers, backpacks and sling bags; delivering incredible end-user benefits not found anywhere else in the market. The proprietary, omni-directional, hexagonal venting pattern keeps users dry and comfortable all day. The plush honeycomb matrix is 90% air by volume, making it one of the lightest plate carrier shoulder pads on the market today, at just 0.6 ounces or 17 grams (the weight of a first class letter or half a piece of bread).

IceVents wider design, combined with the compressibility of the hexagonal honeycomb, distributes applied force across a broader area resulting in increased comfort and decreased fatigue over long periods of time under load. The air-dominant architecture of IceVents are impossible to tear by hand, but can be trimmed with scissors or a sharp blade for a custom fit.

Inherently anti-microbial, IceVents naturally reduce odor and maintenance while improving hygiene. Mild soap and water can be used to wash IceVents if needed.

A single 36” length of Back2Back is included with each pair of IceVents for end-user configurable plate carrier/pack mounting and cord/tube management. @GarandThumb designed the communications cord integration.

Features:
1. Minimalist construction
2. Nylon Mesh Top Covering for frictionless plate carrier or pack interface
3. Open-cell hexagonal honeycomb architecture for maximum ventilation
4. Cannot retain water, moisture
5. Fits: IcePlate Safety Vest, minimalist plate carriers and leading backpacks like the Vertx EDC Gamut, Haley Strategic Partners FlatPack and FlatPack Plus as well as most leading outdoor backpacks
6. Each pair of IceVents Plate Carrier Shoulder Pads come with 1 x 36″ Back2Back for cord management/comms integration, allowing end-users to cut lengths specific to their plate carrier or pack
7. Dimensions: 10.25″ x 3.125″ x 0.25″
8. U.S. and International Patents Pending

IceVents are available exclusively at www.QorePerformance.com.

Kimber has released their 2019 lineup of new products, and the headliner is their new sub-compact pistol, the EVO SP. The EVO SP is a striker-fired, metal-frame pistol, chambered for 9mm. Similar in size to the Micro 9 series, the EVO SP features a 3.16″ barrel and weighs 19 oz unloaded. The EVO SP’s trigger has a 6-7 lbs pull, and like many modern striker-fired pistols, it features a ‘leaf’ trigger safety. The EVO SP’s rearward striker indicator allows for both visual and tactile indication that the striker is cocked, and the pistol can be disassembled without pulling the trigger.

The EVO SP is being offered in four models: Custom Shop, CDP, TLE, and Two-Tone. All models come with an ambidextrous, left-or-right side swappable mag release, ledged tritium night sights, and two 7-round magazines.

Ilion, NY – Carry a Model Seven in the field and you’ll understand why it’s considered one of the finest dense-cover rifles in America: lightning-fast in close quarters and superbly accurate for the long shot.

The Model Seven features the same legendary strength as the Model 700’s“three-rings-of-steel,” referring to the steel bolt face, barrel and receiver encasing the cartridge head. The cylindrical receiver design provides a consistent bedding area in the stock. The Model Seven has a 2 3/8” shorter overall length than the Model 700, the Model Seven is perfectly sized for small-statured shooters and dense cover hunting situations. Picatinny scope base included.

Widget Wednesday: Creating an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in austere environments

November 7th, 2018

An SPM-622 Squad Power Manager and a few cables is like having a multi-tool for power in your rucksack. With such a system, troops can “scavenge” power from vehicle batteries or power-out ports and from solar panels or blankets to recharge batteries and run equipment – anywhere, any time.

The SPM-622 is particularly useful as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Simply connect the SPM to a rechargeable battery, an AC wall outlet, or portable generator, and the device, or devices, you want to keep powered up. As long as AC power is available, the battery is kept fully charged-up, and power for the radio is automatically converted, balanced and passed through by the SPM. The diagram below shows how this can be done to provide uninterruptible power to a SatCom radio system.

If the AC power fails, the SPM will automatically switch to drawing power from the back-up battery so that the radio remains powered up. The user is alerted to the change on the SPM’s screen, but no action is required. Once AC power is available again, the SPM will automatically revert to drawing power for the radio from the AC source, as well as simultaneously recharging the connected back-up battery.

Additional back-up power storage capability for critical equipment can be achieved by connecting up to 3 more batteries to the SPM. As long as AC power is available the SPM will keep all connected batteries topped-up, if/when the AC power fails the SPM will automatically switch to drawing power from the battery with the lowest state of charge – ensuring the most efficient use of the back-up power available.

If you need further assistance, contact Support@Protonex.com. Visit www.PTXnomad.com for further info about the wide range of applications and equipment supported by the SPM-622 Squad Power Manager.
