how is odor an issue for you?

I live in New Orleans and basically, everyone smells for 9 months out of the year b/c it's so hot down here. You get used to it, but the first few hot weeks are pretty embarrassing when you realize that you smell like a giant armpit once you've been outside for 5 minutes. I am also an avid runner, so my workout clothes get very stinky after a few uses.

how did you test the shirt?

In brief, I lifted weights, did 20 push-ups, a bunch of ab work, and then hit the treadmill for my favorite indoor cardio workout: power walking at a 15% incline (which is as high as it goes), 4 mph, for 30 minutes. I decided to amp it up by raising the speed to 5.5 mph for a two minute interval every 5 minutes. I was sweaty by the time I finished with the weights and abs, but after the cardio I was drenched. My hair was dripping with sweat. Mission accomplished- I was disgusting!

how did the shirt perform?

Well, I worked up the courage to sniff my arm pits. I'd actually forgotten which side was supposed to be odor free, but I figured it out immediately. One armpit smelled, predictably, like a sweaty armpit, but the other smelled exactly like the shirt did before I put it on. Success!

What other products would you like to see Agion Active in?

I'd like to see odor control in athletic shorts and in casual wear shirts. Headbands might be nice too.
