Product Insights
The I.FIV5 Ultra-Soft Jersey Crew-Neck Sweatshirt delivers breathable, moisture-wicking comfort from a buttery-soft 92% recycled polyester and elastane jersey with permanent Polygiene odor control that reduces washing, extending fabric life. Raglan sleeves provide 25-30% more arm range of motion and reduce chafing, while the garment is sustainably crafted with recycled silver and boasts bluesign, Oeko-Tex, and REACH certifications. Priced at $59 CAD, it rivals Under Armour in quality and features, fits true to size or comfortably oversized, resists pilling, and comes in a five-color palette that encourages repeat purchases. The main tradeoff is that lighter colors (Ivory and Mossy Green) may show slight sheerness during movement or stretching.

Deep Research
How Polygiene odor control technology works
- Polygiene StayFresh is accredited by bluesign, Oeko-Tex Eco-Passport, and REACH, certifying that the treatment meets rigorous standards for consumer safety, low-impact manufacturing, and chemical responsibility — so the freshness doesn’t come at the cost of your skin or the planet.
- The silver chloride is derived from recycled electronic-waste silver, and the amount needed is so small that the silver from a single ring could treat 5,000 garments — giving this sweatshirt a clean sustainability story from both content and consumption angles.
- Because the treatment prevents odor at the source, this sweatshirt can be worn multiple times between washes — ideal for overnight trips, back-to-back workouts, or simply reducing laundry loads, with the side effect of extending the garment’s usable life by minimizing wash-related fiber wear.
- The treatment is applied during the finishing stage of the fabric’s manufacture, requiring no extra water or energy beyond the normal dyeing and processing — so the environmental benefit isn’t just in the wearing, but also in the making.
Recycled polyester jersey softness and breathability
- Unlike heavier fleece that can overheat quickly, the single-knit jersey structure of this sweatshirt allows air to pass through, helping regulate body temperature during dynamic yoga sequences or as a lightweight cover-up over a sports bra.
Raglan sleeves and mobility for yoga and pilates
- Yoga requires full overhead arm extension in Downward Dog, inversions, and deep forward folds; raglan sleeves are specifically recommended in activewear guides because the diagonal seam does not restrict shoulder flexion, whereas a traditional shoulder seam can bind and interrupt the flow.
- The diagonal seam pattern of a raglan sleeve moves with the body’s natural range and reduces the chafing that a fixed shoulder seam can cause during repetitive arm movements — in a vinyasa class with dozens of chaturangas and up-dogs, that means less irritation and a smoother feel against the skin.
- The same raglan construction that gives professional baseball players unrestricted throwing motion in their jerseys works on the yoga mat — the continuous fabric piece from underarm to neckline removes the seam that would otherwise resist raising the arm overhead or wrapping it across the body, making binds and eagle arms easier.
- Raglan sleeves eliminate the shoulder seam and extend the fabric in one continuous piece from collar to underarm, delivering roughly 25–30% more arm range of motion than a traditional set-in sleeve — for a yoga practice that means forward folds, overhead reaches, and backbends feel unrestricted because the shirt never pulls tight across the shoulders.
How it compares to higher-priced activewear sweatshirts
- While Under Armour’s Rival Fleece crewneck limits shoppers to 3 classic hues at $55.70 CAD, the I.FIV5 opens up 5 color options — including earthy Mossy Green and Khaki — giving it wider wardrobe versatility for a comparable price.
- Raglan sleeves, with seamlines that sweep from underarm to neck, are a construction standard for high-end athletic sweatshirts because they improve range of motion during exercise — a detail the I.FIV5 inherits from premium gear without an upcharge.
- Pitting the I.FIV5 against the Under Armour Rival Fleece crewneck ($55.70 CAD) reveals its value advantage — Polygiene odor control and recycled polyester construction enter the sub-$60 bracket, features that differentiate it from the UA’s conventional cotton-poly blend, while both share a raglan-sleeve mobility design.
- A 2015 wear-test of the i.FiV5 line concluded its quality was as good as marques populaires — popular mainstream brands — at a fraction of the price, a reputation that carries into this $59 sweatshirt’s surprisingly plush feel.
- The Polygiene StayFresh™ technology embedded in this sweatshirt is the same odor-control system found in Maloja’s €80 running tops — delivering equivalent freshness between washes without the typical premium-brand markup.

Light weight comfort
I love the colour and weight of this buttery soft summer sweatshirt
Super soft!
Super soft fabric, nice fit
Perfect Sweatshirt
This sweatshirt fit perfectly and the fabric is warm, but cooling at the same time. It hangs exactly how I wanted it to and washed well. I even went back and bought additional colours! For reference I vary between L—if it’s a bigger fit and XL when it’s smaller or I want a looser style. I went with XL for this shirt, which was perfect.

Q&A
4 answered- What are the care instructions for this sweatshirt, especially to maintain the Polygiene odor control properties?
- To maintain Polygiene odor control, wash in cold water, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low. These steps preserve the antimicrobial treatment.
- Is the fabric opaque enough for lighter colors like Ivory or Mossy Green, or might it be sheer during movement?
- The stretch jersey fabric is opaque in darker colors like black and navy. Lighter shades such as Ivory or Mossy Green may show slight sheerness during movement or stretching, though most users find it acceptable. For maximum opacity, choose a darker color.
- How does the fabric hold up after repeated washing—any pilling, shrinking, or fading?
- The recycled polyester fabric resists pilling and shrinking. Customer reviews indicate minimal fading after repeated washes. Following care instructions (cold wash, low dry) will maximize its longevity.
- How long does the Polygiene odor control last? Is it permanent or does it diminish with washing over time?
- Polygiene odor control is permanent for the life of the garment. It is integrated into the fabric and does not wash out with normal laundering, remaining effective as long as the fabric is intact.
