Imagine having something smelly around your face.
Buff® fabrics prevents this. Permanently.
The smell of your T-shirt is caused by bacteria. The better the living conditions the quicker it starts smelling. That’s why it’s always your armpits that smell first. Wonderful warm and moist. The perfect environment for bacteria.
Buff® uses the best technology money can buy – Polygiene. On contact with the fabric they die. Simple & effective.

Here is a nice review from Gearjunkie. It’s for a shirt but the results are pretty much what we experience.

Gunky, smelly and often itchy helmets. That’s bacteria enjoying their comfortable home. With your sweat, they venture into the helmet padding. The warmth makes them happy, and they grow.
The Buff® fabric kills the germs on their way through the fabric. A Buff® as helmet liner keeps your helmet fresh and gunk-free
Why Polygiene®?
So why not just go for some cheap solutions like bleach or disinfectant? Why take the best technology money can buy?
Effortless – No action is 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 fabric 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 per cent itch-free and free of harmful substances. It passes the most stringent test. The Oekotex™ 100 for babies.
Limitations
The Buff® fabric needs to be free of gunk.
If the Buff® fabric is so dirty that the germs don’t get in touch with it, it can’t work.
