Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Micro-Perforated Cropped T-Shirt delivers Polygiene odor control that sustains eight days of wear without washing, while micro-perforations boost ventilation by increasing sweat evaporation and reducing humidity. At $39 CAD, it undercuts typical Polygiene-treated tops by $20–$40, and the treatment's recycled silver and Bluesign certification enable water and energy savings of 3,800 L and 51 kWh per year by halving washes. The fabric resists pilling and shrinkage, and with proper care the perforations stay intact, but the design shows skin through the holes, with opacity varying by color. The main tradeoff is that this performance comes with a visible sheerness and a specific care routine—cold gentle wash, no high heat or fabric softener—to preserve the fabric's soft, smooth feel and its ventilation benefits.
Verified claims
- Odor control
- 8 days of wear produces odor equivalent to untreated shirt after one run.
- Sustainability
- The top pairs recycled polyester fabric with a Bluesign-certified Polygiene treatment, making it a sustainability choice beyond the recycled fabric alone.
- Value
- At $39 CAD, delivers tested Polygiene performance that usually costs $20–$40 more.
- Ventilation
- Micro-perforations increase sweat evaporation and reduce humidity, per textile research.
- Durability
- The soft stretch recycled polyester fabric helps reinforce the micro-perforations, and washing with similar fabrics in a mesh laundry bag minimizes tearing or snagging risk.
- Styling
- Intentionally visible micro-perforations create a pattern on skin.
- Shape and pilling
- Fabric resists pilling and does not shrink after washing.
- Care
- Wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low; no fabric softener, bleach, or high heat.
- Tear resistance
- No reports of micro-perforations tearing or snagging in regular wear.
- Sheerness
- Skin is visible through the micro-perforations; the fabric is opaque; the effect varies by color.
- Water savings
- Polygiene-treated top needs half the washes, saving 3,800 L water and 51 kWh yearly.
- Silver sourcing
- Silver in Polygiene is recycled from electronic waste and Bluesign certified.
- Skin safety
- Polygiene treatment does not irritate skin and is Bluesign-certified.
- Fabric comfort
- Microfibre fabric is soft, smooth, ventilated, and retains shape.
- Odor control permanence
- The Polygiene® odour-control treatment is permanent and does not wash out; it remains effective for the life of the garment without reapplication.
- Odor control mechanism
- Polygiene® controls odour by physically disrupting odor-causing bacteria rather than masking smells, so the protection lasts the life of the garment and won't reactivate when damp.
- Ventilation coverage
- The micro-perforations run in horizontal stripes across the entire garment, not just the back or underarms, so cooling airflow reaches the full torso.
- Skin microbiome
- The Polygiene® treatment does not interfere with the skin's own bacterial balance, so it is safe for prolonged wear directly against the skin.

Recommendation of i.fiv5 activewear at Simons
Also, try Simons. Their house brand activewear (i.fiv5) is great and often on deep markdown, and I’ve seen or scored some other really great sales on high quality gear there too.
