Alongside the normal benefits of polyester, there is an increasingly important role for materials that inhibit the growth of bacteria, consequently preventing unpleasant odours arising, even in very demanding conditions.
An important factor here is that the material does not lose its antimicrobial effect, even with frequent washing – an advantage over textiles given a supplementary finish.
Underwear, T-shirts and trousers remain fresh for a longer time, enhancing the feel-good effect of the functional underwear. The collections cater for all weather conditions and physical demands and cover the complete range from light summer qualities to warm winter materials.
The ladies in the TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen volleyball team play in the first national league and have now been persuaded of this: their new strip is in Trevira Micro Bioactive.
Manufacturers like DORINA, Globetrotter, b+d Sportartikel, Maisch Sportswear, Bike o'bello, Switcher and Comfortrust offer Trevira Bioactive sportswear. Fabrics are now coming from all over Europe, including from Eschler, Jetter+Herter, Karl Conzelmann, Feinjersey and IBQ.
