Outlast Technologies has a variety of protocols for different environments, applications and garment types to be tested, which requires the use of a controlled environment. For this reason Outlast installed a Bally temperature and humidity controlled testing chamber. This chamber is capable of controlling from 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C)and 20% to 85% relative humidity. This allows Outlast to adjust the room for standard fabric testing conditions when testing versus ASTM or ISO norms.
The introduction of metabolic changes (ie. running, walking, sitting, excercising) and controlled hot or cold environments, provides the ability to test the physiological effects of Outlast® garments on human subjects. Physiological testing in a controlled environment allows for quantitative and subjective proof of improved comfort and less sweat.
All Outlast® products are tested in pairs or full ensembles since the body works very hard to overcome side-by-side differences via the body equalization process.
