Outlast technology is a proactive moisture management solution that controls moisture before it begins, for increased comfort. It continuously absorbs excess body heat and releases it to maintain a constant body temperature.
This differentiates from passive technologies, such as wicking or quick-drying, that provide benefits only after the body has started to overheat and sweat.
