Where it comes in handy

Travel

You’re in an airport, a plane, a bus,… All areas with lots of people close to you. Sanitation naturally takes a step back too. Germs can survive for 2 hours or more on surfaces.

The anti-bacterial Buff® fabric can help here

as a makeshift glove for opening doors
as a quick face mask if people close to you are coughing

Here is a nice guide on how to stay safe whilst travelling.

Adventure

You’re far away from any hospital. Water is limited and personal hygiene takes a big step back. You definitely don’t want to get sick.

With a Buff®, you have at least one layer of defence with you. It also doubles as an emergency, germ-free, tourniquet.

Every tube should have Polygiene® Technology. Here's why.

This youtube video shows you how fast germs grow in ideal conditions.

Any face mask or scarf around your nose/mouth will create this.

That’s where Polygiene® does the perfect job. It makes the micro-fibre deadly for germs.

So why not just go for some cheap solutions like bleach or disinfectant. Why take the best technology money can buy?

Effortless – No action required on your site

Bleach and other liquids need to be re-applied all the time to do their job. Polygiene® is part of the fabric. It stays in the material for a lifetime for peace of mind.

Non-Irritating & Non-toxic

Imagine having disinfectants or bleach touching your skin all the time. Can you feel your skin itching?

Polygiene® is 100 % itch-free and free of harmful substances. It passes the most stringent test—the Oekotex™ 100 for babies.

Limitations

The Buff® fabric must be reasonably clean.

If germs don’t touch the fabric, they don’t get killed.

If you want to use the fabric to filter airborne particles, you have to layer it up. The more, the better. One layer is no filter.

Products with Polygiene®

We are not happy that it’s not used in every Buff®.
It turns out that people weren’t that interested in anti-bacterial.
The attention turned towards the anti-odour effect of this technology.

That’s why only the following products contain Polygiene® technology in the 2020-2021 Season:
