Cool your plate carrier

QORE PERFORMANCE launched the CATAMARAN Gen 3, a universal ICEVENTS ventilation adapter panel for hard and soft armor. CATAMARAN Gen 3 continues QORE PERFORMANCE’s Gen 3 evolution across the ICEPLATE EXO, ICEVENTS, and IMS families of cutting-edge thermoregulation and performance enhancement solutions. CATAMARAN Gen 3 delivers ultimate comfort and airflow to older/issued plate carriers and soft armor vests.

Standard plate carrier designs trap heat against the body, creating stifling microclimates and discomfort for the end-user. Few plate carriers offer the built-in relief of stand-off ventilation like the QORE PERFORMANCE ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3, and many rely on heavy foam or spacer mesh padding that retains heat and moisture, as evidenced in these empirical tests. CATAMARAN Gen 3 redefines ventilation with its ultra-light 4.8 oz, laser-cut Velcro grid field, offering a universal fit for ICEVENTS Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons to ensure maximum airflow and comfort on any carrier in any environment.

Key Features of CATAMARAN Gen 3:

– Universal Compatibility: Engineered for ultimate adaptability, CATAMARAN Gen 3 brings ICEVENTS ventilation technology to virtually any plate carrier or soft armor vest, integrating seamlessly with MOLLE, Elastic Side Straps, Velcro straps, Velcro One-Wrap, or Elastic Shock Cord for market-wide compatibility.

– ICEVENTS Integration: Securely mounts ICEVENTS Classic Plate Carrier Ventilation Pontoons, enhancing airflow and reducing hot spots.

– Customizable Ventilation: This feature allows users to personalize pontoon placement based on individual preference in Parallel, Venturi, or any other configuration to fit any end-user body shape/size.

To achieve ultimate all-aspect thermoregulation, pair CATAMARAN Gen 3 with IMS Versa, uniting ICEVENTS evaporative cooling with ICEPLATE Curve’s conductive cooling, heating, and hydration for unparalleled thermoregulation and environmental inoculation capability augmentation.
