Nano Silver is an advanced
scent-elimination system
using 99.9% pure silver,
developed for the hunting
industry to control human
body odor in any hunting
environment. Before hunting,
most hunters avoid external
odors from contaminating
their clothes.
The
greatest concern is their
own body odor that collects
and emits away from them
while hunting. Human body
odor originates from
bacteria living on skin
surfaces. As these bacteria
cells live out their lives,
they expel waste in the form
of an odorous gas. It is
this odor that becomes
stronger over time from a
build-up of bacteria due to
reproduction.
It is on
this micro-size level where
the silver fibers within AG
Vaportech Nano Silver Odor
Suppression apparel work
their odor-control magic. |

Silver ions
(AG) irreversibly bonded to
the polymer yarn (nanotechnology)
are a superb antimicrobial,
meaning they are highly
toxic to these odor-emitting
bacteria cells.
Ions
passed from the silver
fibers infiltrate bacteria
cells and bond with DNA
chains, which literally
shuts down the cells’
respiratory system and the
ability to reproduce. Silver
fiber technology eliminates
99.9% of odor-causing
bacteria within one hour of
exposure. |

The
technology used in AG
Vaportech Nano Silver
apparel is nothing like
activated-carbon garments.
As is true with
activated-carbon clothing,
silver fiber fabric can’t
fill up or get plugged with
odor molecules.
AG
Vaportech Nano Silver
apparel never requires any
kind of reactivation or
regeneration, and can never
wash out like treated
fabrics, because it is part
of the fabric. Performance
does not diminish over time
or from heavy usage. |

AG Vaportech
Nano Silver technology is
thermodynamic, which keeps
you cooler in the summer and
warmer in the winter by
conducting body heat away
from and around your body.
The fabric is highly
breathable, making skin
surface feel refreshed. |

Silver, an
antimicrobial, is a
naturally occurring element
and uses no added artificial
chemicals that may cause
fear of toxicity. People
allergic to silver jewelry
often make the false
assumption they are allergic
to silver. Silver jewelry is
made of an alloy called
sterling silver, which is a
mix of silver and other
various metals. It is these
other metals that cause
allergic reactions. There
has been no documented case
of allergies to pure silver. |

Silver agents
were approved in the 1920s
by the US Food and Drug
Administration for use as
antibacterial agents.
The
Environmental Protection
Agency recognizes silver as
one of the best
antimicrobials while
remaining harmless to
humans.
Ten years
of testing and research by
major universities, the
medical industry and the
U.S. Military have proven
the odor-control
effectiveness of silver
fiber technology. |

Recorded use
of silver to prevent
infection dates to ancient
Greece and Rome, it was
rediscovered in the Middle
Ages, where it was used for
several purposes such as to
disinfect water and food
during storage, and also for
the treatment of burns and
wounds as wound dressing.
In the
19th century, sailors on
long ocean voyages would put
silver coins in barrels of
water and wine to keep the
liquid pure. Pioneers in
America used the same idea
as they made their journey
from coast to coast. |
