In collaboration with Triangle Research and Development Corporation, the center then explored phase-change materials, which maintain a steady temperature as they change phase from solid to liquid or vice-versa.
They were successful in demonstrating the effectiveness of a temperature-stabilizing fabric insert for a spacesuit glove. However, the technology never went to space. Now, a textile marketer named Louise Nicholson, who wanted to help people stay comfortable during menopause, will be using Outlast.

Nicholson’s London-based company Fifty-One Apparel has introduced “high-end fabrics” that are made by bonding Outlast to cellulosic yarn, which helps the clothing maintain the temperature-regulating properties of phase-change materials while retaining the look and feel of high-end fabrics.
The company’s early offerings were limited to a line of shirts in four designs which were initially distributed to customers in the London region through parties. However, now the company has evolved to include online sales of tops, bottoms, and nightwear to people all over the world.
Fifty-One also offers products like turbans, facemasks, and scarves, all of which use space technology that helps menopausing women stay cool.
