Your workout is off-the-charts today! But sadly, so is your body odor. No one enjoys being covered in smelly sweat after a workout. That is why there is clothing specifically designed to maximize your performance while minimizing your odor. Keep reading to learn about our picks for the best anti-odor workout clothes for men on the market.
Clothing can be manufactured to repel or reduce body odor in several ways. In some cases, fabrics are treated with antimicrobial technology to prevent the growth or spread of odor-causing bacteria and microbes. Agents like silver and copper are commonly used because of their natural antimicrobial properties.
Additionally, moisture-wicking fabrics can help reduce odor. They do this by drawing sweat away from your body and through the fabric so it can evaporate. This wicking action helps keep your body dry and prevents bacteria from interacting with sweat to produce body odor. Quick-drying or breathable fabrics are also helpful in expediting sweat evaporation.
