From ultrarunning events and charity fundraising to exciting ew product launches, the Polygiene team has enjoyed a super-busy April. Here’s what we got up to.
With summer approaching and the temperatures rising, it is time to consider ways to keep cool throughout the day and into the night. One of the most effective ways to regulate your temperature is to choose what you wear and sleep in carefully. The fabrics we use daily have a significant say in how fresh we feel and whether we will overheat. Consequently, they influence comfort, health, and performance. Whether you’re talking about everyday clothing, business attire, sports and athletics wear, or bedding, the fabrics we surround ourselves with determine how cool, comfortable, and dry we stay when things warm up.
Few things are as likely to prevent a good night’s sleep as overheating. Falling asleep in a hot, stuffy room can be extremely uncomfortable and frustrating. It can lead to tossing and turning, as well as significant sweating, leaving you damp, sticky, and unable to sleep. Whether you share a bed with someone who really likes to wrap up at night or you live in a hot climate, keeping cool during the night can be challenging.
In recent years, consumers have become increasingly conscious of the materials they purchase and wear. As well as a growing interest in ethical textiles, there has been a significant surge in demand for performance materials, particularly breathable fabrics. Whether it’s consumers looking for casual everyday clothing, athletes seeking to enhance performance, or professionals wanting to stay cool in high-pressure environments, breathable fabrics guarantee enhanced comfort when things warm up.
If you’re an athlete who wants to enhance performance through temperature management or a high-flying professional who needs to stay cool under pressure, you need to think carefully about what you’re wearing. And you probably want to be thinking about cooling fabrics.
Whether you’re an enthusiastic hiker or love the look and feel of ankle-high fashion-first footwear, boots are a crucial part of the modern wardrobe. Practical and stylish in equal measure, boots come in all shapes and designs. But they all have one thing in common. If you’re not careful, they quickly develop unpleasant odors. While all footwear is prone to these bad smells, boots can be particularly problematic. Fortunately, there are many ways to eliminate and prevent that funky foot smell from tarnishing your favorite pair of boots.
At Polygiene, we love partnering with brands that are committed to innovation and have a clear vision for improving manufacturing processes in order to meet their commercial goals. We get even more excited when those innovations result in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to production.
When we partnered with CUBE in 2023, we were super-excited about the prospect of working with one of the biggest success stories in the cycling industry. Known for high quality, innovation, and a drive for progress, CUBE continuously explores new solutions to elevate their passion for cycling through even better products, delivering greater value to their customers. Now in 2025, that partnership will continue to grow and include CUBE’s protector series to incorporate Polygiene’s Freshness performance and value-add.
In hygiene-critical industries, flooring plays an important role in maintaining hygiene whilst meeting stringent regulatory standards. Bacteria can accumulate in microscopic crevices, compromising hygiene. This is particularly crucial in sectors such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare, where floor surfaces must actively contribute to sanitation efforts.
Having just returned from the excellent 2025 SHOT Show, the Polygiene Team is super-excited to update readers on how the enormously influential shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show went. With more than 55,000 attendees, it was an enormous year for the show and there was a fantastic buzz and a brilliant atmosphere down in Las Vegas.
In today’s increasingly hygiene-conscious world, antimicrobial additive solutions enable businesses to adapt their products to evolving consumer attitudes and needs. Crucially, additive technologies allow manufacturers to integrate antimicrobial protection into almost any material, ranging from hard surfaces like plastic and paper to paints, coatings and textiles. Consequently, antimicrobial technology is having a significant impact on a diverse array of products and industries. To illustrate just how wide-reaching and broad the potential applications are, we’ve highlighted 15 real-life antimicrobial agent examples and use cases from across several commercial sectors to examine in greater detail.
As our understanding of the global environmental crisis grows, it has become increasingly clear that there is a significant need for change in the way we produce and consume products. While textiles is by no means the only industry contributing to environmental degradation and the climate crisis, it is one of the worst offenders. Research suggests that the consumption of textiles in the EU has the fourth highest impact on the environment, after food, housing and mobility. It comes third for water and land use and fifth highest for greenhouse gas emissions (EC).
2024 was a big year for the Polygiene team. From forging new partnerships with exciting up-and-coming brands to expanding our work with long-term collaborators, we’ve been busy spreading the Mindful Living™ message and bringing advanced Freshness technologies to the textile industry. Considering the scale of Polygiene’s achievements over the past year, we wanted to take a quick look back at some of 2024’s real highlights and success stories.
Running from the 21st-24th January 2025, the SHOT Show is expected to attract upwards of 50,000 attendees to Las Vegas. It remains one of the largest and most influential trade shows for the shooting, hunting, law enforcement and outdoor sectors in the USA. For the first time, Polygiene will be setting up shop at the event to catch up with existing partners, connect with new customers and showcase the power of Polygiene Freshness solutions.
Most people love the smell and feel of a freshly washed T-shirt or sweatshirt. There’s the homely scent of fabric softener, that comforting feel, and the knowledge that your favorite piece of clothing is wonderfully clean. However, in an age of climate crisis, when we are more aware of our environmental impact than ever, are we overdoing it and washing our clothes too frequently? How often is too often? Do different types of items require washing more or less regularly? To answer all these questions and more, the Polygiene team has compiled a comprehensive guide to washing your clothes.
If you’re looking for a new base layer, there’s a good chance you’re considering either a merino wool or synthetic design. They are the top two material choices for a reason, combining excellent performance, comfort, and practical design. However, both materials have their advantages and disadvantages. Which you select will be influenced by a diverse array of factors, ranging from odor control and longevity to sustainability concerns and budget. With this in mind, we created a comprehensive guide to the merino vs synthetic base layer debate, helping you make an informed decision about which is right for you.
Now and again, a new brand comes along and shakes up a settled market with innovative & smart ideas as well product improving designs. In the sports & bike protection sector, that business is the Italian newcomer SERYT. With the release of its Flow Knee Pads, SERYT has cleverly changed the way we think about sports protection by eliminating uncomfortable seams, emphasizing sustainability, and ensuring aesthetics are just as carefully considered as every other aspect of design. Of course, the product also features Polygiene StayFresh™, further adding to its appeal and performance.
In recent years, Japan’s outdoor community has boomed, and participation in outdoor hobbies, activities, and sports has grown significantly. Sports, fitness, and lifestyle brands catering to this market are riding the wave and seeing their best-ever financial results in the process.
Clued-up consumers are increasingly concerned about sustainability in the fashion and textiles industries and growing numbers are rejecting the fast fashion model that has dominated for so long. This has led to greater interest in ways people can extend the lifespan of their wardrobe and get maximum use from their clothes. From investing in odor-control Polygiene-treated products to using the appropriate amount of detergent, there are plenty of things you can do to make your clothes last longer.
Polygiene Group™, the global leader in antimicrobial technologies, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Weichert USA. Based in New York and LA, the highly respected Weichert textile agency will now represent Polygiene Group in the United States. The partnership marks the ideal next step in Polygiene Group’s growth strategy, strengthening its market presence and promising more hands-on, tailored support for its U.S. and Canadian partners.
