Leveraging innovative odor-control solutions like Polygiene StayFresh™, antibacterial hats are an effective way of ensuring your headwear remains fresher for longer and doesn’t accumulate unpleasant smells.
Antibacterial headwear uses advanced textile treatments to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Traditional headwear can quickly become a breeding ground for these microbes, which produce nasty odors as part of their metabolic processes. By preventing bacterial growth, antibacterial additive technologies minimize smells and keep your headwear fresh.
