What kind of yarn is the aerosilver mentioned in the sun hoodie description?
This is because while reading the description of outdoor clothing, an unfamiliar functional yarn name appeared. It makes one wonder how it differs from regular polyester.
Aerosilver is a functional yarn that helps reduce sweat odor by preventing bacterial growth, and it is used with high-sweat outdoor activities in mind.
aerosilver is a functional yarn developed to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce sweat odor. ostrya uses 100% polyester material as a base for the Umbra Sun Hoodie Aqua[1], while also applying the specialized yarn aerosilverⓒ featuring antibacterial functions[2].
Generally, polyester has the advantage of quickly wicking away moisture, but it is prone to leaving behind a characteristic odor when bacteria multiply after sweating. Adding fibers with antibacterial properties at the yarn stage helps lessen odors lingering on clothing, even in outdoor environments with heavy sweating.
hmmm, considering the purpose of a sun hoodie for blocking sunlight, cooling sweat, and walking for long periods, it appears to be a practical choice that accounts for odor management as well as quick drying.
The specific blending ratio of the aerosilver yarn or how long the antibacterial function lasts after washing has not yet been confirmed.
