Qore Performance, a pioneer in thermoregulation and tactical gear already known in the airsoft community, has introduced the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3, a groundbreaking evolution of their ultralight minimalist plate carrier. This isn’t simply an upgrade; it’s a redefinition of what a plate carrier can be. Designed with input from professionals who’ve used countless options in the field, as the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is more than just protection; it’s a performance-enhancing tool that adapts to the most demanding environments.
At the core of the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is an unwavering commitment to both ballistic and environmental protection. Crafted from hydrophobic laminate materials with exceptional tensile strength, it offers unparalleled durability without sacrificing weight. Weighing in at a mere 15.2 ounces for the base carrier and up to 23.2 ounces with the AXL Equinox Cummerbund, it sets a new benchmark for lightweight performance. But the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is more than just a strong, lightweight shell.
This plate carrier integrates Qore Performance's patented thermoregulation and hydration systems, seamlessly blending comfort and efficiency with armor. By actively managing body temperature, the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 expands the wearer's physiological capabilities, providing a significant advantage in extreme conditions. This revolutionary approach to gear design positions Qore Performance at the forefront of tactical equipment.

The ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is packed with features designed to enhance operator performance. Its cooling, heating, and hydration capabilities, powered by ICEPLATE and ICEVENTS technologies, ensure peak endurance in any climate. The ergonomic design, especially when paired with the AXL Equinox Cummerbund, distributes weight evenly, reducing fatigue and maximizing mobility.
Durability and water resistance are paramount, making the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 suitable for a wide range of missions. Recognizing the unique needs of different operators, Qore Performance has made customization a cornerstone of the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3. Compatible with most two or three-strand cummerbunds and featuring multiple quick-release systems, this plate carrier can be tailored to individual preferences and mission requirements.

“ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is the first and only plate carrier in the world to actively expand the operational environment envelope, enhance physiological performance and inoculate the end user against temperature risk. ” said Justin Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Qore Performance. “ICEPLATE EXO® Gen 3 weaponizes temperature to create competitive advantages where none previously existed. It is a near perfect embodiment of ‘Building A Superhuman Future.”

The ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3 is currently available in Berry compliant laminate. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option without compromising quality, a USMCA compliant laminate variant is in the works. Produced in-house at Qore Performance’s Knoxville, Tennessee facility, both versions embody the company’s dedication to precision and performance.
With the ICEPLATE EXO Gen 3, Qore Performance has redefined the standards for tactical gear. By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of operator needs, they have created a product that not only protects but empowers those who wear it.
