Organic Basics SilverTech
The world's most comfortable, versatile and technologically advanced underwear.
From outer space to your underwear drawer!
Endorsed by Rufus Gifford, Tommy Ahlers and Uffe Elbæk!
We've taken an old technology previously used by NASA and the Navy Seals to create the world's best underwear and t-shirts that actively fights bacteria, regulates temperatures and reduces sweat.
The main key for this is the use of pure silver. By mixing silver into this performance fabric, we've designed a self-cleaning fabric that eliminates 99,9% of all bacteria in contact with the fabric. No bacteria means no body odor!
At the same time the product is a super heat conductor, regulating temperature to reduce sweat.
40% of all water consumption in the textile industry is in the consumer phase from the consumer washing the clothing. With our design the clothing do not need frequent washing, mostly every 7-10 days in order to get rid of dead skin and that might even be possible to remove just by shaking the clothing item.
We're manufacturing sustainbly in Turkey under GOTS.
