High-performance technology

Outlast is committed to offering quality, high-performance technologies and continuously tests all products that contain Outlast^® materials. Outlast^® products have been in the market for over 10 years without any negative safety issues.
Because Outlast^® is an ingredient brand, testing is a very important part of what we offer to ensure that technology benefits are passed along to the consumer. We certify our suppliers in every step of the supply chain.
There are three things that Outlast tests for:

• Is Outlast in a product?

This testing is done in the lab as part of the certification process. If a product is certified as containing Outlast^® technology, that product does in fact include Outlast^® technology at a level that has been demonstrated to work effectively. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) gives a distinctive fingerprint allowing us to determine that Outlast^® technology is included in the product at the appropriate levels.

• Does the Outlast technology work?

Yes. The American Society for Testing has established a standard test procedure (ASTM D7024) to measure the effects of changing temperature and a fabric’s ability to absorb, store and release energy. Founded in 1898, ASTM International is one of the largest standards development organizations in the world. More information is available at www.astm.com.

• Is the product safe?

We are proud that Outlast^® products have been in the market for over 10 years without any negative safety issues and our team continuously test our products to ensure it stays that way. Various Outlast^® manufacturers have Oeko-Tex certification. The Oeko-Tex testing and certification system has become the uniform safety standard. The entire textile supply chain profits from this safety certification. Please find more information at www.oeko-tex.com.
