Outlast?

Thermo-regulating new material developed and used by NASA.

◈Outlast, which was developed by NASA for protection from changes in external temperature that cannot be predicted by an astronaut upon space exploration, is being used for a space suit. The effectiveness has already been proven, such that it isbeing used experimentally for special suits of the U.S. Army as hi-tech material.

▣ Theory of Outlast

When external temperature increases,the capsule absorbs heat, causing acold feel.

When external temperature decreases, the capsule emits heat, making the bodywarm.

Upon movement from comfortable indoors to warm or cold outdoors,inhibits sharp temperature changes.

◈Dri-release maintains cool & quick dry 4 times faster

than cotton by using the patented system of natural

fibers and synthetic fibers; natural fibers absorb sweat

on the skin, while synthetic fibers are broadly spread and

discharged in fabric.

◈The subject of experiment was

directed to attach a humidity

sensor and run for 20 minutes after

wearing a T-shirt for testing of

fabric humidity by time.

◈As time went by, Dri-release

fibers faster approximate the

laboratory RH compared to

Polyester(Coolmax).

◈This indicates that Dri-release

shows cooler and faster sweat

drying during exercise.
