What is Polygiene StayFresh™ Technology?
Wear more. Wash less. Save Resources.
We’ve all been there: your favourite base layer smells after one climb, and your fleece doesn’t feel fresh even after washing. In the mountains, you can’t just toss your gear in the wash whenever it starts to smell.
What is Polygiene StayFresh™?
Polygiene StayFresh™ is an advanced anti-odour technology based on silver salt (silver chloride) and works by inhibiting the growth of odour-causing bacteria in textiles.
The science behind the smell: Sweat itself is odourless. The unpleasant smell comes from bacteria breaking it down and releasing compounds like butyric acid. Polygiene stops that process before it starts.
Why use Polygiene StayFresh™?
In the mountains, washing your gear every day just isn’t an option. Polygiene StayFresh™ helps keep your layers fresh for longer, even after multiple days of heavy use. The StayFresh™ technology is integrated directly into the fabric during production – with no added manufacturing steps, no compromises on comfort or performance, and no unnecessary resource consumption.
- Less odour = fewer washes needed
- Fewer washes = Less water and energy use, longer garment life
- Longer-lasting kit = less environmental impact
