Fabric innovation! Not swearing sportswear, the secret is actually a shrimp shell

When the gym is sweating, the most worrying thing is the sweatiness of the body. What is even more frightening is that some sportswear chooses synthetic fabrics to ensure the breathability of the garments, which leads to the smell of sweat after the sportswear has been washed. This is too tragic.

According to the US Bloomberg Businessweek website, a Vancouver startup called Strongbody has finally solved this long-standing problem - adding chitin from the shell of the shrimp in the fabric, and sweating clothes will not be there. Odor. At present, Strongbody is bringing crowds of KiCKstarter with two new clothes: $22 for T-shirts and $74 for men's shorts ($65). The crowdfunding is coming to an end and has raised $21,000, surpassing the crowdfunding target ($15,000).

In addition to the Strongbody, there are also well-known brands who have worked on the problem of sweat odor: Lululemon and Patagonia added silver chloride to the fabric – a chemical that blocks the growth of bacteria that produce odors. Strongbody chose chitin, a chemical fiber that is extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimps and crabs. It is a natural antibiotic that has been used as a dietary supplement or as a blood coagulant in bandages.

One of the founders, Meghan Conyers, said that Strongbody does not want to produce high-tech sportswear. In fact, at first, it just wanted to provide gymnastics with good-looking sportswear, not including yoga, running or cycling enthusiasts.

Conyers confidently said that the fabric containing chitin could not be seen or touched. People with sensitive physique can also wear it with confidence - according to the book "Military Medical" published in 2005, people who are allergic to crustaceans have no abnormal reaction to chitin powder. At present, the cheapest product of Strongbody is the $68 vest, and the most expensive product is the $148 sleeveless sweater. The fabric is soft, wrinkle-resistant and chemical-resistant; and the sportswear is stylishly designed with a mesh or cutout design.

Meghan Conyers used to be a personal fitness instructor. In 2011, she collaborated with gym manager Quincy Samycia to find elastic fabrics that would highlight the body. They used a polyester-blend fabric with chitin to launch men's and women's sportswear online. Conyers revealed that the two founders still wear the Strongbody sportswear that was produced two years ago, and now the clothes still have no odor.
