The Origin
Outlast® technology was originally developed for NASA to protect astronauts from temperature fluctuations. The temperature corridor within which the human body feels comfortable is relatively narrow. Outlast® technology helps to smooth changes in temperature within this corridor, maintaining a more consistent temperature range.
Outlast microcapsules use phase change molecules to absorb excess heat, providing a cooling system. This heat is stored and if the body cools, heat is release back to the body as needed. The result is a constant microclimate.
The benefits in motorsports are without question. In hotter environments, Oulast technology within Cobra Seats will assist the driver in maintaining a cooler body temperature for longer. In cooler environments Outlast will aid in maintaining body warmth.
The Function
- Outlast® microcapsules absorb body heat
- Stored heat is released back to the body as needed
- The result is constant microclimate
- Outlast® Fabric is available on all Cobra Motorsport seats as an option.
