Polyester can perform, but its plastic base often brings trade-offs for comfort, freshness and the environment.
Can shed persistent microplastic fibres during wear and washing.
Some synthetic garments rely on persistent chemical finishes for stain, water or odour control.
Can trap heat and feel less breathable, leaving skin hotter and sweatier during movement.
In warm conditions it can feel sticky, clingy or itchy against sensitive skin.
Polyester can hold on to body oils and odour, making garments smell sooner during wear.
Lyocell performance, without the synthetic compromise.
GIAVA crew necks use 100% Lyocell: a smooth, wood-pulp-derived fibre that breathes naturally, manages moisture and moves easily from training to everyday life.
