Portugal.

Both the fabric and garment manufacturers are in Portugal.

Both are family-run companies and we have visited the factories on several occasions; both places are very happy and working conditions are fantastic.

Below are some examples:

• The technology has been very well tried and tested by Outlast over the years since it was released. There are several research papers available to demonstrate the various claims.
• The US Olympic triathlon team used the same technology to help regulate their temperature and improve their
  performance at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
• The technology was used at the last Golf Ryder Cup event to help the competitors keep performing at their best no matter what the weather was doing in bonny Scotland!
• It has been used to great effect by the military. Not only that; it’s even there for you when you get home and can be found in your pillows and mattress protectors!

So, here's the science behind it

• It works by incorporating microcapsules into the yarn before the fabric is woven. These capsules contain a ‘phase change material’ (PCM), which absorbs the heat energy above a certain temperature and gives it back to you below a certain temperature. This helps to stabilise your temperature at 37 degrees.
• It also stops you getting chilled even after you drive (perfect for 24 hour races in the early hours!).
• As well as contributing to a stable body temperature, it can also reduce sweat production by up to 33% in normal usage (this has been documented by the US Military in trials).

We told you we were different.

Absolutely you can.
