how is odor an issue for you?
I work in an OR. We sometimes have to crank up the heat in our individual OR to 85 degrees. My job is a physical job. Even when the temperature in the room is set to 70 degrees, we sweat. As sorry as I feel for myself, I feel even sorrier for the people who have to scrub in under those hot lights wearing impervious surgical gowns. When they take their surgical gowns off, their scrubs are soaking with sweat.
do you have any funny odor stories from your past?
In a surgical on-call team, we've all learned to shower when you can and sleep when you can (in that order), because when you're on call, nobody wants to be the one who didn't shower when they had a chance to before they went to sleep. Worse, nobody wants to be stuck standing next to the on-call person who didn't take the time to shower before getting called in to work for an emergency.
how did you test the shirt?
Working in a hot OR, lots of deep-knee bends are required as the machines I work which are close to the floor and it's not OK to sit on the floor to work with them, so we have to squat. Hours worth of standing and then squatting, over and over and over. Lots of heavy lifting, reaching, lots of arm and shoulder strength required.
how did the shirt perform?
I would use the shirt daily for anywhere from about 6 hours a day to 14 hours a day. By the end of the day, I could really tell the difference. I wasn't so, um, rank. I had to take the photo in a non-descript, non-patient area for privacy issues.
What other products would you like to see Agion Active in?
BRAS! Do you have any idea what it's like to be an overweight peri-menopausal woman working in a physical job in a warm or hot room? How about those body shapers that go from the waist to the thigh? Scrubs, too. Work clothes for those of us who work in warm or hot environments.

I really wish that you could make some kind of liquid so that we could treat or soak specific clothing items with the chemical in our own clothes washers. I noticed that the T-shirt was a woven polyester type fabric. I'd really like to treat my cotton bras and cotton T-shirts with the chemical. I'd also like to treat some slip on bike shorts I sometimes wear under my scrubs.
