Ever wondered how your Fifty One Apparel clothing regulates your temperature during both hot flushes and when the chills hit? Let's take a look at the fascinating space-age technology that makes our clothing unique.

From Space to Your Wardrobe

What do astronauts and women experiencing menopause-related symptoms have in common? The need for effective temperature regulation. The technology in your Fifty One Apparel clothing was originally developed for NASA to help regulate astronauts' body temperature in extreme space conditions. We've adapted this innovative technology to help manage symptoms of the menopause in everyday life.

The Science Behind Thermocules™

At the heart of our clothing is Outlast® technology, which uses phase change materials (PCMs) encapsulated in our unique Thermocules™. Think of these as millions of tiny thermostats knitted into the fabric:

Absorption Phase

When your body temperature rises during a hot flush, the Thermocules™ absorb the excess heat, helping prevent overheating.

Storage Phase

The absorbed heat is stored within the Thermocules™ rather than being released into the air immediately.

Release Phase

As your body temperature drops (often following a hot flush), the stored heat is gradually released back to keep you comfortable.

Real-World Benefits in Action

During Hot Flushes

When a hot flush strikes, our technology immediately begins absorbing excess heat. This means:

• Reduced intensity of hot flushes
• Less sweating
• More comfortable skin temperature
• Maintained dignity in social situations

During Post-Flush Chills

Instead of experiencing severe temperature drops after a hot flush, the stored heat is released gradually, helping to:

• Prevent sudden chills
• Maintain comfortable body temperature
• Reduce the need for layering and delayering

Why We're Different from Other Brands

Most performance clothing brands rely solely on moisture-wicking technology, which only reacts after you start sweating and simply moves moisture away from the skin. This doesn’t really address the issue of temperature regulation that is prevalent in many women who are going through Menopause or are suffering from Menopause-related symtoms. 

Instead, our Thermocules™ technology works proactively before sweating begins to actively manage your temperature and Create a microclimate around your body. This provides continuous comfort and temperature control. 

The Future of Menopause Clothing

Our NASA-certified technology represents a genuine breakthrough in managing menopause symptoms through clothing. Unlike traditional cooling fabrics or moisture-wicking materials, our Thermocules™ technology provides active, continuous temperature regulation.

This isn't just innovative fabric technology – it's a real solution for women seeking comfort and confidence during menopause. Whether you're at work, exercising, sleeping, or socialising, your Fifty One Apparel clothing is constantly working to maintain your optimal temperature.

The Proof is in the Performance

But don't just take our word for it. Our technology has been:

• Certified by NASA
• Extensively tested in real-world conditions
• Proven effective through countless customer testimonials
• Continuously refined and improved

Understanding the technology in your Fifty One Apparel clothing helps explain why it works so effectively. It's not magic – it's science, specifically developed to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout your menopause journey.
