Vargo Unveils Titanium-infused Apparel

Utilizing the latest titanium technology, Vargo has infused titanium into outdoor apparel to create a line of tops with enhanced levels of performance qualities. Using light as a catalyst, Vargo TiFusion apparel is self-cleaning and quick drying while reducing odors and increasing UV protection, says the company.

According to Vargo, TiFusion apparel has an affinity for water molecules and, in the presence of light, becomes super hydrophilic. This affinity displaces all other molecules, including oils and dirt, that would otherwise stay attached to the surface. The result is apparel that literally cleans itself.

What’s more, under normal conditions water has a tendency to be attracted to itself and bead on surfaces. However, TiFusion apparel does not allow water to bead but rather spread flat over the surface to increase heat transfer and dry 25% faster than normal garments.

In the presence of light, TiFusion apparel electrostatically traps odor causing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold and mildew, says Vargo. This process is constantly occurring and will not breakdown or be used up ensuring constant and long lasting odor reduction.

And TiFusion contains no toxins, poisons, dangerous chemicals, or heavy metals. The primary components are considered safe by the EPA and are commonly used in foods and sunscreens. TiFusion improves the blockage of harmful UV light and helps eliminate common air pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur.

TiFusion pieces are available in men’s and women’s styles.
