Clothes stink. Literally.(Maybe it’s just us). After a long workout, pickup game, or run, the shirts smell terrible! Even after multiple washes, these odors can remain for the lifetime of the garment. SO Buffer Clothing came up with a solution to eliminate the stank.
How it Works
Copper nano-particles are permanently bonded to our nylon/spandex fabric through electroplating, which causes the fabric to be 99% antimicrobial. Copper attacks microbes in a three step process.
1. Air combined with moisture causes the copper in your shirt to oxidize, which releases copper ions (No, your shirt won’t turn green like your old pennies).
2. The copper ions directly interact with the outer surface of the microbe’s bacterial membrane, which causes the membrane to rupture.
3. Once the bacterial membrane ruptures, the cell loses vital nutrients and water, which causes the microbe to weaken. This thwarts the ability for the bacteria to mutate and reproduce, thus leaving the shirt 99% microbe-free.
Verified Results
Buffer went as far as getting ACTUAL tests done on the fabric. Check them out!
