Be Bold, Start Cold: Essential Tips for Outdoor Activities Like Rucking in Cold Weather

For cold-weather activities like rucking, the “Be Bold, Start Cold” approach helps prevent hypothermia by minimizing insulation at the start. This avoids trapped sweat, which can dangerously cool the body. Key to staying safe is a layering system: a moisture-wicking base, an insulating middle, and a weather-resistant outer layer.

Qore Performance’s ICEVENTS® technology enhances this system by promoting omnidirectional airflow, enabling sweat to evaporate quickly and preventing moisture buildup. Unlike traditional foam, ICEVENTS® is lightweight, hydrophobic, and anti-microbial, offering optimal ventilation and comfort in extreme conditions.
