"With cycling gaining popularity, a high-quality, visually appealing helmet is a cyclist's top choice. As a trusted name in the industry, PMT has earned the loyalty of cycling enthusiasts with its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs." Now, PMT has joined forces with Polygiene® to integrate antibacterial technology into cycling helmets, extending the product's lifespan and empowering its sustainable development, marking a noteworthy innovation in the industry.
With the brand philosophy of “Always Moving Forward,” PMT has been focusing on safety and fashion since its establishment in 2012. Each helmet is crafted to closely align with the ideal vision of our customers, featuring carefully selected trendy styles that are uniquely designed. We do not compromise or take shortcuts; all our products are made using exceptional manufacturing processes and cutting-edge technology to highlight their uniqueness. Our diverse range of products and continually improving product line not only showcase the diverse styles of the era but also embody the progressive spirit of our brand.
Polygiene® is a Swedish ingredient brand dedicated to providing antibacterial technology and odor control solutions to ensure better protection for products while keeping them hygienic and fresh without any unwanted smells. Polygiene advocates for a more environmentally friendly approach to garment consumption, spanning from fast-moving consumer goods to durable goods, and conveys the concept of sustainable development to every consumer. It is also the preferred partner for many international footwear, apparel, and sports equipment brands.
Based on a shared commitment to green cycling, PMT has collaborated with Polygiene to integrate the principles of freshness, environmental friendliness, and green cycling into helmet products, while also fulfilling safety features and aesthetic appeal, bringing consumers a brand new, refreshing, and enjoyable cycling experience.
PMT’s wide range of helmet products incorporates Polygiene StayFresh™ technology, which features silver chloride as an active ingredient. This technology effectively inhibits the growth and proliferation of odor-causing bacteria on fabrics, eliminating unpleasant smells at the source. It provides long-lasting odor control throughout the product’s lifecycle, achieving antibacterial effectiveness that meets national standard AAA level, ensuring you stay fresh and odor-free at all times, allowing you to enjoy confidence and pleasure all day long. Additionally, this technology has undergone extensive sensitivity testing and skin safety assessments, ensuring that Polygiene StayFresh™ only acts on the surface of the fabric, posing no side effects on the skin and not interfering with the skin’s natural flora.
The reduction of bacterial growth and odors means less frequent washing, which saves water, energy, and reduces wear and tear. This not only minimizes the release of plastic micro-particles but also extends the lifespan of garments, footwear, and gear, lowering the frequency of replacements. Moreover, Polygiene StayFresh™ can be applied in conjunction with most textile industry’s finishing processes, requiring no additional water or energy consumption. This reduces the environmental footprint from production to the entire lifecycle of the product, supporting sustainable development.
In this new era, the trend of environmental mindfulness is being integrated into various industries. As a helmet brand committed to environmentalism, PMT has chosen to partner with Polygiene to enhance the development of the helmet industry. The first products to feature Polygiene technology will be two flagship new releases in 2024, COFFEE 5.0 and KORA, as well as the elegant series of helmets that have long been favored by consumers. In the future, all of PMT’s helmet products will incorporate this technology. Polygiene’s antibacterial technology will aid PMT in making breakthroughs in green fashion, balancing style with ecological sustainability.
As a leader in freshness technology, Polygiene has established long-term partnerships with many well-known footwear and apparel brands since entering the Chinese market, continuously providing these brands with expert technology and advocating for the “wear more, wash less” philosophy to prolong product lifespan. Moving forward, Polygiene will continue to empower brands in sustainable fashion development and bring more protection to our planet.
