Patagonia® Capilene® With Gladiodor™
Fabric: Capilene® Polyester Baselayer
Patagonia® Capilene® is still a moisture-wicking polyester fabric that keeps you warm even when wet and dries quickly.
Now, Capilene Polyester is also recycled, recyclable and features Gladiodor™ natural odor control.
Technology: Gladiodor™ Natural Odor Control
The story
Most companies use heavy-metal (silver) ions to kill the bacteria that causes odor in their clothing:
-
Heavy metals are a major groundwater pollutant
-
Heavy metals are not safe for human ingestion
-
Bacteria can build resistance to silver
These risks were unacceptable to Patagonia®, so they developed a safe, nonpolluting alternative:
-
Gladiodor™ natural odor control comprises naturally derived amino acid chains
-
Gladiodor™ technology kills odor-causing bacteria
-
Gladiodor™ technology is nonpolluting and safe for humans
-
Gladiodor™ natural odor control is durable
