One of the most commonly asked questions we get asked is "Is IcePlate armor?" So we assembled all of our ballistic testing videos from our YouTube Channel into this one blog post to make this answer easy to find and easy to understand. The simple answer is no. IcePlate is not body armor by itself. However, when worn behind soft body armor, IcePlate nearly eliminates back face deformation. The ability to eliminate back face deformation is huge. Anyone who has worn or wears body armor knows this. Back face deformation can cause serious bodily injury or even death. The soft tissue damage and trauma associated with a round impacting your body, even if it doesn't penetrate the armor, is absolutely...
Hi. I'm back from Tampa and SOFIC. There I was displaying Qore Performance’s breakthrough technologies to our war fighters. For those who don't know SOFIC: “The Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) is the premier conference for the SOF community to interact with industry and to collaborate on the challenges, initiatives, and way-ahead in delivering the most cutting-edge capabilities into the hands of SOF operators.” It was amazing. Seeing the reception of our human performance enhancement tactical gear was a kick. Our goal is the creation of Individual Operator Overmatch. It was great to stand out among 400 exhibiting companies. We’re a small startup with a large impact and larger ambitions to serve you and America. What kind of reactions...
Welcome me back from SOFIC in Tampa this past week! Traditionally I’ve worked with the industrial side of the business. This trip was my first direct experience with high level military operators. There was so much to experience and learn. We were in the SOF Select wing of the Westin, across the bridge from the Tampa Convention Center. LALO hosted our booth and we got to rub elbows with the rock stars of the soft goods world (Mystery Ranch, Eagle, and Patagonia to name a few). It was a sea of MultiCam and tactical colors: greens, browns, and earth tones abound. We featured a mannikin to show off ICE – our new exoskeleton-inspired Plate Carrier – with IcePlate 3. IcePlate 3 is...
"Does IcePlate work with my (insert plate carrier make/model here) plate carrier?" ***NOTE: this article is for the original Gen 1 and Gen 2 IcePlate design only. This article does not apply to IcePlate Curve. We are working on that article, so stay tuned! This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Qore Performance. We consolidated this information into a single living (continuously updated) resource to help answer this question for the entire IcePlate Community. This IcePlate/Plate Carrier Compatibility Chart is a community asset. The more people who contribute their knowledge/experience, the more valuable it becomes to the IcePlate Community. Think big data/machine learning but for IceAge Insights. A few minutes of your time could help...
