SummaryQore Performance co-founder Justin Li initially thought to combine first aid science with athletic base layers while on duty as a law enforcement officer in the California desert.
Armed with Otter Pops and a sewing machine, Justin looked to improve his odds in the field. Unwilling to add more weight to his kit, Justin realized that efficiently offloading heat to stay hydrated was the best way to boost his overall performance.How a LiveChat message led Qore Performance to supply IcePlate Safety Vest in Chick-Fil-A and Dutch Bros Coffee locations across the US.
Adopting principles from the Stanford Cooling Glove, Qore’s Wearable Hydration Apparel integrates heat-absorbing inserts into athletic apparel allowing athletes to stay hydrated and perform longer while exercising.Learn more about the Qore Performance Ice Plate Safety Vest and Wearable Hydration Apparel in this episode of #BehindTheSmoke
