'Sweat, Don't Smell'

摘要

Fitness clothing can still smell after washing because bacteria contained in sweat may get trapped in the fabric and is difficult to remove using traditional detergents. Biochemist Megan Eddings got tired of throwing away her smelly workout clothes and decided to develop her own technology to produce a fabric that is soft, durable, "anti-stink," and produced ethically in the United States. After collaborating with multiple fabric, yarn and antimicrobial specialists for approximately three years, Eddings had exactly what she was looking for — Prema™ fabric. Accel Lifestyle, with Eddings as founder and CEO, recently launched a line of tees and tanks featuring Prema, which is a a Supima® cotton/polyester blend with a trade-secret silver-polyester anti-stink antimicrobial component that is incorporated during the yarn production stage. The Supima contributes durability, softness and color retention to the fabric; and the polyester offers wicking attributes. The 4.4-ounce-per-square-yard knit fabric is 100-percent sourced and "Made in the USA" using a sweatshop-free supply chain.
