Outlast™ System

    •    Originally developed for NASA, Outlast® technology is the original temperature-regulating technology.

    •    Outlast® materials balance your temperature through the use of patented micro encapsulated Thermocules that absorb and store excess heat, releasing it when you need it most.

    •    Keep Cool or Stay Warm all year round performance

    •    The stretch fabric contours and adapts to the sleeper

    •    Three sided zip for easy removal

    •    Machine washable at 40º

From space to mattresses - Outlast® technology was originally developed for NASA to protect astronauts from temperature fluctuations. Now this smart Outlast® phase change material (PCM) is beneficial to kids as well as adults, to reduce overheating during the night.

The Outlast® Adaptive Comfort cover is the most advanced mattress ticking technology on the market and elevates the Snug mattress to a truly premium product.

Unlike other brands that only are promoting temperature regulating through moisture management, Outlast® is unique in that it uses active phase change technology.

Fabrics and foams with Outlast® Adaptive Comfort® absorb, store and release body heat. It works to keep the sleepers temperature not too hot, not too cold, but just right, over a broad range of environments and activity levels.

Thermally adaptive Outlast® materials were originally developed for NASA. The patented technology is therefore recognized by NASA as Certified Space Technology™.

The technology used in Outlast® products, called phase change materials (PCMs), was first developed for use in space suits and gloves to protect astronauts from the extreme fluctuation between the bitter cold and scorching heat that they experienced when strolling in space or tinkering with the space station.

Frequently asked questions:

What is Outlast?

Outlast® technology is the original temperature-regulating technology. Outlast® fabrics, fibres and coatings are found in bedding, footwear, apparel, outerwear and accessories.

How does it work?

Outlast® materials balance your temperature through the use of patented microencapsulated Thermocules TM that absorb and store excess heat, releasing it when you need it most.

Will Outlast make me warmer?

Outlast® materials continuously adapt to your changing thermal needs. In effect, Outlast® materials balance your temperature by reducing overheating and therefore perspiration, resulting in less chill and more comfort.

What is the lifespan of Outlast in a product?

When Outlast® technology is part of an acrylic or viscose fiber, it is a permanent part through the life of the garment. Our coated products are developed for excellent durability both through home laundry and dry cleaning.

What are the washing instructions for Outlast?

Machine wash at 40 degrees (do not tumble dry)

How is Outlast incorporated into products?

Outlast® Thermocules® are spun directly into yarns and fabrics, Outlast® can be coated directly onto fabrics or applied to finished garment via infusion and spray technology.

Where is Outlast located in a product?

All Outlast® fabrics, coatings and fibres are most effective when they are designed to be used as liner or interliner materials so that they are more interactive with the human body, or the microclimate next to the human body, rather than with the outside environment.

How do I know Outlast is in the product I'm buying?

All products containing Outlast® technology are tested and certified for energy capacitance to ensure that the benefits of the technology are passed on to the consumer. Look for the Outlast® logo on hangtags and in labels of some of your favorite products. ALWAYS BUY FROM A MANUFACTURER OR OFFICIAL RESELLER

How is Outlast different from other temperature-regulating technologies?

Outlast Technologies, Inc. holds the patent for the original temperature-regulating technology and ingredients for fibres, fabrics and coatings.

Many products in the marketplace claim to have temperature-regulating properties, but in essence they are really promoting regulating temperature through moisture management, not active phase change technology.

Were you really in space?

Yes. Outlast® technology was originally developed for NASA for use in gloves and other apparel applications such as pants and socks to buffer and moderate the temperature found in space and very high altitude. In 2005, Outlast® technology was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame for successfully transforming technology originally developed for space exploration into products that help improve the quality of life here on Earth.

Where can I get Outlast?

Products that take advantage of the thermal regulating properties of Outlast® materials are offered by our world class licensed partners.

Where is Outlast Technologies, Inc. located?

The company headquarters are in Boulder, Colorado/USA, with operations in Europe and Asia
