Your $78 gym shirt is a heavy-metal chemistry experiment.
Legacy activewear brands weave physical metals like silver and gold into synthetic polyester to stop odor.[2, 9, 11] Yes, they are literally putting heavy metals under your armpits. And when that chemical coating washes out in 30 cycles, it leaches into municipal water systems, leaving you with a $78 plastic bag that smells permanently like sour onions and old cheese. We think that's absolute corporate garbage. Get actual 100% premium cotton armed with bio-based molecular spikes for just $20.[5, 30]
The Periodic Table of Armpit Funk
Dr. Sterling Funk's breakdown of why traditional synthetics fail and why bio-defense rules the underarm.[9, 22]
We are incredibly bad at corporate greed. [30]
Traditional activewear brands markup their $5.00 shirts up to 15.6x so they can pay for country club memberships, stock options, and billboard ads.[32, 30] We make our shirts for $5.00 and sell them for $20.00.[30] Here is where your twenty bucks goes:

Rescue MeFrequently Argued Questions
Q: Will these microscopic spikes impale my skin?
A: Only if you are a single-celled sweat pathogen. To human skin, our premium ring-spun cotton feels like floating on a fluffy cloud.
Q: Why are your competitors charging $78?
A: Because those sleek corporate boards have expensive yacht rentals and stock buybacks to fund.[32, 30] We prefer to run a lean team and buy breakfast tacos in Kyle, Texas.
Q: How does this help the environment?
A: Polyester is plastic. When you wear synthetic activewear, you are wearing recycled water bottles. Cotton is natural, biodegradable, and our Duritex molecular shield is 100% bio-based and non-leaching.
