Odour control for trailwear

Trailwear odour control takes a step forward through a new industry collaboration. Microban International has partnered with mountain sports specialist Ortovox. They bring odourcapture technology to the brand’s debut mountain biking collection, the Sequence Series.

Material challenges for trailwear odour‑control fabrics

Furthermore, the Sequence Trail Line applies 100% textiletotextile recycled polyester. It adopts a closedloop recycling model. Old used textiles get transformed into brandnew apparel.

Moreover, synthetic fibres easily hold sweatlinked odours. For this product range, Ortovox viewed long-lasting odour control as a core functional requirement.

For instance, this collection delivers the brand’s first fully woolfree synthetic Tshirts. Finding stable, highperforming odourcontrol solutions became critical, according to Ortovox senior product manager Christian Morgenroth.

“We selected Microban because its technology integrates seamlessly into our overall product concept, allowing riders to keep their gear fresher for longer.”

How trailwear odour‑control Scentry Revive fabric technology operates

Meanwhile, Microban’s Scentry Revive technology embeds into fabric during manufacturing. It captures and neutralises odour molecules before they sink into textile material.

Additionally, suppliers claim its functional performance holds for up to 50 home washes.

Crucially, this tech cuts stubborn sweatrelated odours inside synthetic garments. It reduces the need for frequent laundry cycles. Less washing may also extend the usable service life of trailwear pieces.
