Silverguard antimicrobial inhibits the growth of bacteria that causes odor. Silver is also has anti static properties. Silverguard uses actual silver integrated into the raw fibers from which we make our garments. As a result of the integrated design, Silverguard will not wash out and will last the lifetime of the garment.
Completely Safe!!
Silver is safe!! NASA uses silver water purification on the space shuttle. That is, they use silver to purify the water that the astronauts actually consume. Furthermore, silver water filters are approved by the EPA.
Silverguard uses actual silver integrated into the raw fibers from which we make our garments. This helps decrease the use of man-made chemical antimicrobial treatments.
Silver is a natural antimicrobial agent that has been used for centuries. Historical references cite the use of silver vessels by the ancient Greeks and Romans to preserve their liquids for longer periods of time. American pioneers would place a silver coin in their storage vessels to preserve milk and water. Pharmaceutical uses have been known for thousands of years. Including wound and bandage preparation. Silver's antimicrobial properties come from it reacting quickly with the cell walls that are typical of micro-organisms.
There is no evidence that micro-organisms build up tolerances to silver. Organisms can build tolerances to man-made antibacterial's over time.
Most importantly, silver is completely safe and does not harm people. In our garments, silver is used in small quantities. We only use enough silver to produce the required effects. Remember all of that silver jewelry?
As a result of the integrated design, Silverguard will not wash out and will last the lifetime of the garment.
Scent Assassin Charcoal is a cutting edge fabric that uses actual charcoal integrated directly into the raw fibers from which we manufacture our fabrics. The charcoal is a permanent part of the yarn itself.
Charcoal is a universally absorbent material. It also has shown some antibacterial properties under standardized testing. By integrating the charcoal directly into the fibers, Scent Assassin Charcoal reduces the amount of bulk that is found in garments that contain a separate layer of charcoal. This provides the user with a much more comfortable experience and greater freedom of movement. The Scent Assassin Charcoal garments can be put in the washer and dryer just like any of our base layers.
As a result of the integrated design, Scent Assassin's charcoal will not wash out and will last the lifetime of the garment.
