Product Insights
The Ultra-Soft T-Shirt from I.FIV5 delivers Polygiene odor control—typically found in tees costing over $74—for just $35, certified skin-safe and bonded for the life of the garment, enabling 4–5 days between washes and cutting environmental impact by a third when skipping every other wash. Its relaxed fit adds 6–8 inches of chest ease for a yogi-inspired silhouette with less compression than performance tops, while 89% recycled polyester and 11% spandex wick moisture and deeper armholes enhance breathability and prevent chafing. A reflective high-five logo and exclusive Canadian design underscore the brand's motivational ethos.
- Permanence
Chemical bonding keeps Polygiene odor control effective for the life of the tee.
Why this is supported
Polygiene silver chloride is integrated into the fabric at the finishing stage, not applied as a surface coating, so the antimicrobial action does not wash out and lasts the lifetime of the garment.
Polygiene® odor control is designed to last the lifetime of the garment, as it uses silver ions that are bonded to the fabric and do not wash out easily.

- Value
At $35 CAD, this tee includes Polygiene odor control typically found in tees priced $74+.
Why this is supported
The manufacturer's description confirms

- Breathability
Relaxed fit creates airflow and deeper armholes to reduce moisture
