Knoxville, TN — With a focus on issued plate carriers and armor systems, Qore Performance is excited to announce the launch of their Universal Plate Carrier Upgrade Kits to augment any plate carrier or issued armor system with their best-in-class thermoregulation and Hydration technologies in ICEPLATE® and ICEVENTS®. Qore Performance is launching two versions of the Universal Plate Carrier Upgrade Kit (PCUK): Ventilation Only and Ventilation, Cooling, Heating, Hydration.
Ideal for all plate carrier users operating in arid/dry climates where evaporative ventilation is effective, the Ventilation Only upgrade kit combines ICEVENTS® Classic Ventilation Pontoons with Qore Performance’s CATAMARAN MOLLE Plate Carrier Adapter Panel for unparalleled breathability and comfort without any permanent modification to the issued plate carrier and fits any plate carrier or soft armor vest (MOLLE/Slick, Overt/Covert, hard/soft). With proper ventilation being equally critical in both hot and cold weather conditions, the kit ensures optimal airflow to enhance evaporation, reducing heat buildup and sweat while distributing weight more effectively.
Omnidirectional Ventilation: promotes airflow and cooling during intense operations
Durable Design: 90% air by volume and ultralight, but engineered for rugged environments
Universal Compatibility: installs seamlessly to any plate carrier in minutes
No Modification: no permanent modification – perfect for PGI to avoid having to pay penalties/fines/forced purchases at turn-in of issued gear
The Ventilation Cooling, Heating, Hydration upgrade kit is perfect for elite users operating in both humid and arid climates. This comprehensive kit takes performance to the next level with ICEPLATE® Curve integration via IMS or IMS Versa for conductive cooling, heating, and hydration. Tailored for plate carriers like the USMC PC Gen III, US Army MSV, Crye Precision JPC, CPC, SPC, and more, this kit ensures peak performance in any climate.
Conductive Cooling and Heating: Powered by ICEPLATE® Curve for precise thermoregulation.
Hydration On-the-Go: Integrated hydration capability with a 50 oz (1.5 L) capacity for sustained endurance.
Enhanced Comfort and Load Distribution: ICEVENTS® technology reduces pressure points while improving weight balance.
“With these upgrade kits, we’re empowering our users to optimize their plate carriers for any mission or climate, but without the stress of any permanent PGI modifications,” said Justin Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Qore Performance, Inc. “As former military and law enforcement ourselves, we understand the challenges of the job, and these solutions are designed to create competitive advantages for individual end-users where none previously existed by weaponizinig temperature.”
Whether you’re combating heat, cold, or long hours in the field, Qore Performance’s Universal Plate Carrier Upgrade Kits provide unparalleled advantages that elevate human performance.
Both kits are 100% Made in USA at Qore Performance HQ2 in Knoxville, TN and are available now, exclusively at QorePerformance.com.
