Technologies
-
HeiQ Fresh
The HeiQ Fresh technology harnesses the natural antimicrobial properties of silver ions to keep fabrics odorless. It uses recycled river salt, whose ions are naturally present in our environment and found in our drinking water, saltwater, and soil, effectively inhibiting the metabolism of bacteria to prevent the transformation of naturally odorless sweat into body odor.
-
Polyester Recyclé
The use of recycled polyester reduces our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source. It utilizes waste and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from production. It also helps promote a new recycling stream for polyester garments that can no longer be worn.
Virgin polyester naturally repels water and performs exceptionally well outdoors.
-
