Denim is timeless. From casual Fridays to nights out, from factory floors to fashion runways –
jeans have become an essential part of modern life. But there’s one thing even the most loyal
denim lovers can’t deny: on warm days, they can make you sweat. Outlast Technologies GmbH
is changing that – by making denim that helps you sweat less and feel more comfortable
throughout the day.
After intensive research and development, Outlast proudly introduces its temperature
regulation technology into denim fabrics – without compromising the rugged authenticity and
durability denim is known for. The result is a smarter, more comfortable denim that adapts to
the body’s temperature, no matter the season or activity.
“Jeans are the undisputed icon of modern fashion – they work for every occasion,” says Volker
Schuster, director of R&D at Outlast Technologies GmbH. “But when the temperature rises,
they can become uncomfortable. That’s exactly the problem we wanted to solve. Our solution
is a denim fabric that works with your body, not against it.”
The innovation lies in embedding natural wax directly into the fibers before the denim is
woven – creating intelligent fabrics that interact with your body. When it’s warm, these fibers
absorb excess body heat and store it, helping to reduce sweating and keep you feeling
comfortably balanced. As temperatures cool or your activity level decreases, the stored
warmth is gradually released – helping to prevent chills. The result? Jeans that intuitively
adapt to your body’s needs, so you stay comfortable, whatever the day brings.
Achieving this level of functionality, however, was no easy task. The challenge was to ensure
that the temperature-regulating effect could withstand the intense wash and finish
treatments typical in denim production – all while preserving the look, feel, and durability
expected of high-quality jeans.
To meet these demands, Outlast found the perfect partner in AGI, the renowned denim
producer from Pakistan. With its deep expertise in denim manufacturing, AGI played a key
role in refining the integration of temperature regulation technology – resulting in denim
products that are highly attractive to both brands and end consumers alike.
Equally appealing to end users is the lasting performance of the innovation: the natural wax is
embedded inside the fiber itself. This means the temperature-regulating function does not washout or diminish over time. Unlike surface treatments, the technology remains effective throughout the entire life cycle of the garment.
With this development, Outlast reaffirms its position as a pioneer in temperature regulation
textiles – bringing comfort, performance, and innovation to one of the world’s most beloved
fabrics.
