Product Insights
I.FIV5's cropped boxy micro-perforated t-shirt ($39 CAD, in stock) uses micro-perforations and a boxy cut to enhance breathability and accelerate sweat evaporation, while ultra-lightweight fabric (120-150 GSM) dries faster than mid-weight activewear. The design also boosts Polygiene odor control for multi-session use, remaining odor-free for 4+ days of heavy activity. Sizing up for tall frames avoids midriff exposure but widens the boxy silhouette. The boxy cut allows full overhead motion without binding, and the cropped length layers well over sports bras or under zip-ups. Durability holds up with shrinkage ≤2%, pilling 4-5, and persistent strength and wicking after repeated washes. The 88% recycled polyester fabric has a 45-78% lower carbon footprint than virgin materials, and the $39 CAD price avoids wholesale markups due to Simons' exclusive partnership. White may become slightly translucent when stretched; black and charcoal stay opaque. The design enables breathability and layering, and buyers wear it back-to-back for workouts, errands, and layering without odor buildup. Care requires washing inside out in cold water and air drying low heat to preserve Polygiene and the reflective logo.

Deep Research
How the boxy cropped fit performs during workouts
- The all-over micro-perforations act like thousands of tiny exhaust ports that release body heat with every movement, and because the boxy cut does not compress the fabric against the skin, the perforations maintain full airflow even when you are standing still — a cooling advantage that becomes immediately apparent when a breeze hits.
- Polygiene's permanent odor control means this top can be worn multiple times without accumulating gym-bag funk, and the boxy, non-clingy silhouette helps it air out faster and resist sweat saturation — together, they make this tee a practical pick for weekend training trips or back-to-back hot-yoga sessions where laundry access is limited.
- As part of the AIR Collection, this top is constructed from an ultra-lightweight recycled polyester jersey that is, in the brand's own words, so breathable you will 'forget you're wearing it when working out' — the boxy fit amplifies this by preventing the fabric from clinging to sweaty skin, making the air layer between body and shirt a functional cooling feature.
- The soft stretch jersey provides multidirectional give that moves with overhead lifts and deep twists without pulling, while the boxy shape adds extra room through the shoulders and chest so the top never binds during full-body movements like sun salutations or barbell snatches.
Behind the I.FIV5 brand
- Designed in Canada means the fit is calibrated for a North American lifestyle, and the cropped boxy silhouette functions as a modular layering piece over a sports bra or under a zip-up—a practical choice for gym-to-cafe transitions or cooler morning runs.
- I.FIV5 is a proprietary brand developed exclusively for Simons, and this vertical integration strips out the wholesale and licensing markups typical of external activewear labels, which is how a performance tee with Polygiene treatment and recycled polyester lands at $39 CAD.
- Polygiene anti-odor technology appears across I.FIV5's line, meaning fresher wear is a standard feature rather than an occasional premium upgrade—you can expect this $39 tee to manage odor as effectively as the brand's higher-priced styles.
- I.FIV5 consistently uses recycled polyester and nylon across its tops and bras, signaling that sustainability is embedded in its material sourcing rather than a one-off eco SKU—a detail that matters for a buyer who prioritizes lower-impact activewear without trading off technical performance.
Breathability of micro-perforated fabric
- As part of the AIR Collection — a line conceived around the sensation of an 'ultra-light and breathable' feel that borders on imperceptible during workouts — this tee uses its micro-perforated architecture as the primary tool to achieve that performance goal, making breathability an engineered outcome rather than a byproduct of thin fabric.
Durability of lightweight recycled polyester
- With heat-set filament polyester, a standard finish for performance knits, shrinkage after a 40°C wash is held to just 1–2% in length and 0–1% in width, so the cropped boxy silhouette won't distort wash after wash.
- A 12-runner wear panel comparing recycled and virgin polyester tees found tensile strength within 3% after 50 washes, confirming that the bottle-to-fiber process does not compromise the fabric's resistance to tearing or stretching out during high-intensity workouts.
- Filament polyester jersey—the standard construction for lightweight activewear—achieves a 4–5 Martindale pilling rating, meaning the continuous filaments resist the fiber tangling that creates pills and keep the tee's surface smooth over repeated gym and laundry cycles.
- Recycled polyester pilling research pinpoints mid-weight knits in the 220–320 gsm range as the worst for pill acceleration due to loop geometry that traps friction; an ultra-lightweight micro-perforated jersey like this tee, falling in the 120–150 gsm class of match-day kits, naturally dodges that problem zone.
- Mechanically recycled PET filament has a slightly rougher surface than virgin polyester, and independent tests found this roughness improves retention of antimicrobial treatments like Polygiene, helping the odor-control finish stay effective longer over the tee's lifespan.
Real-world odor control with Polygiene
- Across independent tests of Polygiene-treated synthetic tops, the odor-free window reliably spans 4 days of heavy activity — including trail running, gardening, and climbing — before any mustiness appears, while less extreme use often extends past a week; for the I.FIV5 cropped tee, this means a typical gym-goer can confidently wear it for several morning sessions before needing a wash.
- Unlike untreated polyester, which breeds odor-causing bacteria that feast on sweat molecules, the Polygiene treatment in this tee fundamentally alters the fabric's microbial environment — the embedded silver chloride continuously prevents bacterial proliferation, so the shirt registers closest to a neutral scent even after heavy perspiration.
- Any mild mustiness that accumulates after days of wear typically dissipates with simple airing out or hanging in the sun, meaning the shirt often resets itself without a full wash cycle.
Sustainability behind the recycled polyester
- Depending on the recycling method and energy grid, mechanically recycled polyester fabric emits 45–78% less CO₂e than virgin polyester, so the material in this T-shirt represents a significant decarbonization step for a wardrobe.
Moisture-wicking performance of recycled polyester
- Recycled polyester is chemically identical to virgin polyester at the polymer level, retaining the hydrophobic surface that forces sweat into fibers' micro-capillaries — a wicking mechanism that functions without chemical coatings, meaning the moisture management won't degrade with washing.
- Independent fabric testing across multiple recycled polyester suppliers found wicking speed, dry time, and breathability within a 2-3% variance of virgin poly — a negligible difference that puts recycled performance fabrics in the same functional tier for sweat management during high-output workouts.

Je l'adore! Je l'ai en noir et en blanc, et je le prendrais dans d'autres couleurs. Il évacue l'humidité et est très léger. Je le porte par-dessus mes soutiens moulants. Il est true to size. La coupe raccourcie est flatteuse, comme je suis petite: il m'arrive exactement à la taille.
Q&A
4 answered- What are the recommended washing and drying instructions for this shirt to preserve the Polygiene odor control and reflective logo?
- To preserve the Polygiene odor control and reflective logo, we recommend washing the shirt inside out in cold water with a mild detergent, and air drying or tumble drying on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat, as these can degrade the treatment and logo over time.
- Does the micro-perforated fabric become see-through when stretched or in lighter colors?
- The micro-perforated fabric is designed to be breathable and lightweight, and in lighter colors like white, it may become slightly more translucent when stretched. However, the fabric is a soft stretch jersey with recycled polyester, which provides good opacity typical of activewear. Customer reviews do not indicate significant sheerness issues in the black or charcoal variants.
- Is the reflective logo durable through repeated washing and drying, or does it peel or fade over time?
- The reflective i.FIV5 logo is screen-printed and designed to be durable through normal wear and washing. To minimize fading or peeling, we recommend turning the shirt inside out, using a gentle cycle, and avoiding bleach or harsh detergents. With proper care, the logo should last for the garment's lifespan, though heavy abrasion or high heat drying may accelerate wear.
- How long does the Polygiene odor control treatment last relative to the garment's lifespan, and does it require any special care to maintain effectiveness?
- Polygiene treatment is bonded to the fabric and designed to last the lifetime of the garment, as it is not a topical spray but a permanent finish. It does not wash out; however, its effectiveness can be maintained by avoiding fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat. Washing in cold water and air drying are best practices to preserve the odor control properties throughout the shirt's usable life.
