OUTLAST©: the latest generation intelligent thermoregulating fibre adopted by our pro riders!
1- OBJECTIVE: maintain the body at 37°C / 100°F
When it's very hot and during intense efforts, the body reacts by sweating to release excess heat and keep the body temperature close to 37°C / 100°F.
By absorbing excess body heat, Outlast© technology helps the body by significantly reducing sweating. Result: the energy thus preserved can be dedicated to physical effort.
2- HOW?
The Outlast fibre stores this heat in microcapsules and releases it, if needed, when the temperature drops.
3- ADVANTAGES ON COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE
- Active freshness.
- No more overheating! Excess heat is absorbed and controlled, offering a superior freshness sensation compared to classic jerseys.
- Up to 40% less sweat.
- Less water loss, less fatigue: the body saves its water, delaying fatigue and preserving more energy for performance. Improved comfort: less moisture in the fabric means a drier and more pleasant garment to wear throughout the effort.
- Always an ideal temperature.
- With Outlast©, your body adapts better to temperature variations. Say goodbye to alternations between heat waves and chills! You remain comfortable both on hot climbs and cooler descents.
The intelligent fibre that adapts to temperature conditions!
The tests
Developed to allow astronauts to face extreme temperature variations in space, the Outlast® concept is applied for the first time by Ekoï to cycling.
Tests have demonstrated its impact:
• on the reduction of the body temperature increase by 8% on average* (at the same effort compared to a standard jersey)
• on the reduction of sweat, from 30% to 50% on average**.
The benefits are:
• a constant thermal balance. Permanently thermoregulated, your torso doesn't experience overheating or cooling. A major asset for riding in the mountains or over large time spans.
• by sweating less, the body saves energy and can devote maximum resources to performance: endurance and resistance to effort.
• sensory: the upper body stays dry and cool despite external conditions and the intensity of your effort. Comfort is absolute.

Worn by the pros
During the 2023 Tour de France, the riders of the team Israel Premier-Tech caught the attention of rival teams and the media. The reason: they were the only ones tackling the high temperatures with closed jerseys.
With M. Woods' victory at the summit of Puy de Dôme, jersey closed, it was a demonstration of the value of Outlast® technology, the technology capable of offering an unmatched level of thermal comfort conducive to high performance.
