In our ALPHA carrier we use Outlast® PCM technology. It is a NASA technology that means that the vest neither makes your body too hot nor too cold, but keeps the body temperature just right.
Outlast® PCM helps you to wear the vest for long periods of 12-14 hours at a time.
Outlast® is not just another fabric; it’s a cutting-edge technology designed to manage heat. What sets Outlast® apart from traditional materials, like mesh or sweat-absorbent fabrics, is its ability to both store and release heat as needed. Most conventional materials are limited to helping you cool down by wicking away moisture and heat, but they can’t help you when the temperature drops. Once you get cold, those same materials won’t offer any warmth. Outlast®, on the other hand, actively adapts to changes in temperature, keeping you comfortable whether you’re hot or cold.
Imagine a bulletproof vest equipped with Outlast® technology. It’s like having a blanket that you never feel the need to throw off at night because you’re sweating, but that also won’t leave you freezing in the morning. The vest responds to your body’s temperature changes, absorbing excess heat when you’re warm and releasing it back to you when your body starts to cool. This dynamic system ensures that you’re always at a comfortable temperature, no matter how the environment around you shifts. You stay warm when it’s chilly and cool when it’s hot.
For those who serve in roles that require long periods of standing guard or patrolling, comfort is crucial for optimal performance. The ability to maintain a steady, comfortable body temperature can make a significant difference in endurance and focus. When your gear adapts to you, instead of you having to adapt to uncomfortable conditions, you can stay more alert and effective. The Outlast® technology excels in this area by ensuring that your bulletproof vest works in sync with your body’s natural thermal regulation.
This advanced thermal management provides a tactical advantage, helping you perform at your best, regardless of the temperature. Whether in extreme heat or biting cold, you won’t be distracted by discomfort, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Outlast® technology makes your gear an ally in every situation, ensuring that you are always prepared and comfortable.
