Temperature Regulating Sock – For Warm Or Cold Weather

Outlast Technologies recently completed warm-weather environment research indicating that full envelopment with OUTLAST Temperature Regulation provides incredible performance: it reduces perspiration by up to 44 percent in footwear. Significantly, test subjects reported that they were noticeably more comfortable with OUTLAST Temperature Regulation.

This testing was initiated after the benefits of full envelopment with OUTLAST Temperature Regulation in cold-weather environments have demonstrated superior performance by moderating the wearer's skin/microclimate temperature across varying cold environments and activity levels. With OUTLAST Temperature Regulation, the wearer is more comfortable (not too cold or too hot) and can therefore perform better, minimizing perspiration and the likelihood of injury.

This research quantifies just how much OUTLAST Temperature Regulation enhances comfort and performance. Full envelopment with OUTLAST Temperature Regulation can provide the OUTLAST experience that consumers will recognize and pursue in outfitting themselves from head to toe.

This study is an excellent start for indisputably demonstrating the variety of benefits of OUTLAST Temperature Regulation. Because OUTLAST Temperature Regulation is the only temperature regulation material available in a wide variety of formats, OUTLAST is looking forward to replicating these excellent results in future tests focusing on other products and product combinations.

OUTLAST Technologies exclusively offers Temperature Regulation technology in fibers, fabrics and foams so that it can be incorporated into any outdoor apparel products, from head to toe and from base layer to shell layer. This unique material absorbs, stores and releases heat to keep the temperature much more stable across varying environments and activity levels. OUTLAST Temperature Regulation reduces thermal spiking - overheating (hot spots) and overcooling (cold spots) - to conserve energy by reducing the body's compensatory metabolic swings. Furthermore, OUTLAST technology is not affected by compression, unlike traditional, trapped-air insulation.

In footwear, moisture is a key factor in discomfort and, with vigorous activity, your feet can generate up to 1 full cup of moisture per day. Reducing perspiration - the body's reaction to overheating - increases comfort for longer and better performance.

The footwear tests were designed to calculate the relative perspiration in control boots and boots with OUTLAST Temperature Regulation in coated fabrics (and also available in coated foams). Test subjects, representing a wide distribution of fitness levels, participated in trials consisting of alternating walking and resting periods for three continuous hours in an environment of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Foot moisture was measured by weighing the boots and socks before and after, with the difference indicating the amount of perspiration.
