And after the race? From finish line to next adventure

Thanks to Polygiene StayFresh, Trangoworld’s race shirts and other treated garments stay fresher for longer. Lasting freshness also means you can wear garments more often before washing. How? Embedded into the fabric, the technology works 24/7 for the product’s useful lifetime, keeping unpleasant sweaty odors at bay.

For best results, simply hang garments to airdry overnight, and it’s ready to wear again the next day. Wearing more and washing less may take a small change in habit, but it’s worth giving it a try. Besides saving time, washing less also reduces water and energy consumption.
