Outlast debuts PCM fiber blend for optimal climate comfort

Outlast technology

Outlast technology was originally developed for NASA to protect astronauts from temperature fluctuations in space. Outlast technology utilizes phase change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort. Outlast technology is comparable to ice in a drink; as it changes from solid to liquid, it absorbs heat and cools the drink, keeping that drink at the desired temperature for a longer period of time. Outlast phase change materials work in the same way. The PCMs have the capacity to absorb, store and release excess heat.

Outlast Technologies, market leader for temperature regulating phase change materials (PCMs), expands into new spheres and has introduced “Spherix”, #

 

This gives any product containing

Outlast technology the ability to continually regulate skin’s microclimate. As the skin gets hot, the heat is absorbed, and as it cools, that heat is released.

 

Outlast technology is not wicking technology, which manages moisture by reacting to your sweat and pulling it away from the skin. Outlast technology will proactively manage heat while controlling the production of moisture before it begins. That’s the Outlast difference.
