“From a certain height on the mountain, there are no more social differences. It doesn‘t matter what your background is, how much money you have, or what you‘ve done in your life. Everyone is equal.” — Peter Räuber, CEO and Maloja-Co-Founder
A well-made hiking or trekking backpack lasts a lifetime at best. In summer or winter, on dry or sweaty backs, after so many ascents and tours, the suspension system starts to develop odors. And no, laundering them is definitely not the answer! Luckily, the backpack experts at Gregory are once again one step ahead and have collaborated with the Swedish ingredient brand Polygiene® to adapt the innovative Polygiene StayFresh™ technology for backpacks. What's the secret? This technology inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria in fabrics. So stinky backpacks are finally a thing of the past. To remove grime and dirt, the packs can still be gently rinsed in the shower or bathtub.
The Polygiene Group™ is pleased to announce it has joined Europe’s leading outdoor industry association, the European Outdoor Group (EOG). EOG membership represents the logical next step in Polygiene’s mission to transform the outdoor clothing and textile sectors by helping manufacturers develop more sustainable products and facilitating the transition from consumables to durables.
Due to launch on the 24th of February 2023, the MP Activewear Tempo Ultra collection represents Polygiene®’s latest collaboration with a high-performance, training-oriented activewear brand. Designed to offer absolute comfort and total support during challenging HIIT sessions and gym workouts, the collection utilizes Polygiene StayFresh™ technology to eliminate odors and limit the spread of bacteria.
