Keep It Fresh, Keep It Mindful – Thanks to Polygiene StayFresh™
Imagine wearing your favourite gear multiple days in a row without the usual smell creeping in. Sounds good, right? Out on the mountain, laundry isn’t always an option and honestly, it shouldn’t be necessary.
That’s where Polygiene® steps in. This Swedish innovation uses smart antimicrobial technology to fight odor-causing bacteria right where they start—embedded within the fabric itself.
How Does It Work?
Odor comes from bacteria breaking down sweat, not sweat itself. Polygiene StayFresh™ uses silver chloride to stop those bacteria in their tracks, keeping your clothes smelling fresh for longer.
Freshness That Goes Beyond Odour Control - Built for the Demands of the Mountains
In alpine environments, washing gear every day just isn’t an option. Polygiene StayFresh™ helps keep your layers fresh for longer, even after multiple days of heavy use. However Polygiene’s mission is bigger than just staying fresh. It’s about rethinking how we use – and reuse – our clothing. 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.
Trusted and Certified
Polygiene’s technology meets strict global standards like bluesign® and Oeko-Tex®, complies with environmental regulations, and supports recycling efforts, making it a responsible choice.
Designed for Adventures, Made for the Planet
Whether you’re climbing, hiking, or trekking, Polygiene StayFresh™ lets your gear perform better, lasting longer without constant washing. This reduces microplastic pollution, saves water and energy, and keeps your kit ready for whatever comes next. A recent study shows using Polygiene tech can reduce a garment’s environmental footprint by up to 33%.

That’s why many brands team up with Polygiene—to bring you gear that stays fresh, no matter how tough the adventure. But how do you properly look after these technology enhanced clothes?

What Is Polygiene?
Polygiene FRESHNESS™ is an innovative Swedish technology that’s applied to your clothing’s fabric. It fights odor-causing bacteria, keeping your gear smelling fresh much longer, so you can wear it several times before washing is needed.

-
- Decreases your carbon footprint
-
- Limits microplastic pollution
-
- Gives you more time to enjoy the outdoors
With Polygiene, you can confidently wear your gear more often without sacrificing hygiene or comfort.
Tips for Maintaining Polygiene-Treated Clothing
Follow these simple steps to maximize freshness and durability:
-
1. Let It Breathe - After a day of adventure, hang your gear to air out overnight. Polygiene technology keeps odours away, so no washing needed after every use.
-
2. Use Mild Detergent Sparingly - When washing is necessary, use a small amount of gentle detergent.
-
3. Avoid Fabric Softeners - Softening agents leave residues that can encourage bacteria growth, so skip them to keep your clothes cleaner.
-
4. Opt for Air Drying - Instead of tumble drying, which can wear down fabrics and consume energy, hang your garments to dry naturally. It’s better for both your clothes and the planet.
Performance with a Purpose
Polygiene FRESHNESS™ carries bluesign® and Oeko-Tex® Eco Passport certifications, and garments treated with it are fully recyclable. Choosing a Polygiene treated product means you’re committing to gear that performs, lasts, and supports a sustainable outdoor lifestyle.
Wear More, Wash Less
Every time you wear your gear more and wash it less, you reduce your environmental impact and protect the wild places you cherish. Your gear stays fresh longer and you stay ready for your next adventure.
Stay fresh out there!
