OakTree™
- Developed by BondCote, OakTreeTM is an FR mesh fabric produced by BondCote Corporation. Just like an oak tree, this fabric is very strong and provides excellent shade from direct sun.
Though lightweight, OakTree provides an average of 85% sun block. The proprietary coating system provides UV, flame, and mildew resistance. OakTree is available in visual and Infrared Reflectant (IR) colors.
OakTree has a minimum service life of 2 years with no degradation of mission performance and a storage life of 5 years, with no significant degradation to extreme temperatures, weathering, mildew, or petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL). OakTree is weldable.
OdorArmor
- Developed by Bolger & O’Hearn, this advanced and durable odor
protection product for textiles is designed to control and absorb
odors. Textiles treated with OdorArmor absorb and lock-in body
odors as well as outside environmental odors on contact. The
active component of OdorArmor rapidly absorbs odors and locks
them into their core structure, while keeping fabrics fresh smelling.
This innovative textile effect adds significant value to treated
products by bringing customers increased wearer comfort and
trend-setting performance.

Outdry®
- This patented technology and patent-pending construction methods, own by Columbia Sportswear, bonds a waterproof, breathable membrane directly to the inside of the outermost layer of a shoe or glove, thereby preventing water or dirt from penetrating to internal air-spaces and fabric layers as commonly occurs with products that rely on bulky booties or bladders. OutDry improves waterproof, breathable performance, reduces water-weight gain, maintains insulation capacity, and improves fit and dexterity, resulting in greater comfort. Avoiding water penetration beyond the outermost layer may also help reduce the incidence of mold, mildew and bacteria that often develop when internal fabric layers become wet.
Outlast®
- Outlast® Temperature Regulating Fibers and Fabrics contain
millions of micro-thermal spheres that create a dynamic thermal
barrier that works to keep the micro-climate next to the skin
warm and comfortable, despite changes in outside temperature.
These micro-thermal materials absorb, store, distribute, and
release heat in response to the body's comfort needs. Uses
include: ski boot, gloves, hats, pants, parkas, mountaineering
wear, sleeping bags, socks, thermal underwear and bedding
products.
Outlast® PCM fiberfil
- Developed by Outlast Technologies, is the first PCM (phase change material) for bedding. The fiberfil utilizes Outlast’s recently launched first PCM polyester fiber, which can be easily blended with other fibers, and is suited for bedding products with synthetic fillings. The result is a soft bedding product that also provides an ideal comfort climate by helping to balance temperature and humidity levels during the night. The Outlast® technology works continuously to manage heat and moisture, while reducing sweat production, so less humidity is created inside the bed. Targeted end-use applications for Outlast® PCM fiberfil include fillings for duvets, pillows and sleeping bags.
Outstretch™ fabrics
- Developed by Apex Mills, Outstretch™ apparel fabrics are for
applications that require high stretch, recovery and comfort in
sportswear, activewear, athleisure, and military uniforms.
Engineered with an exclusive blend of proprietary fibers,
OutStretch™ provides a spandex-free comfortable stretch with
exceptional durability as a sustainable alternative to fabrics made
with elastomer yarns that cannot be recycled. 100% USA-made
