Outlast^® technology, originally developed for NASA, 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 longer. Outlast^® phase change materials work in the same way, but are microencapsulated to be permanently enclosed and protected in a polymer shell.

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.
