Naked Silver: A Commitment to Innovation in Design

Let Silver Take Care of Your Package

Most men don’t wear gold as it’s too flashy for their taste. So then, what should a guy wear if he’s feeling a bit fancy? Donning something silver will do the trick—not the color silver—the precious metal silver. You know, the one used in jewelries and making infrastructures.

Few people know that silver can also be found in apparels. This metal is used to make the superhero of fabric, X-Static, a high-performance fabric made of 99.9 percent pure metallic silver woven into nylon threads. Aside from that luxurious and comfortable feel of wearing silver-embedded clothing, X-Static has antibacterial, anti-odor—and wait for it—healing properties.   

Famous sports cyclist and six-time USPS Tour De France champion Lance Armstrong once wore a special silver-impregnated suit during his last Tour De France win. According to his chiropractor, Dr. Jeff Spencer, Armstrong's X-Static suit was designed to “provide both antimicrobial action and the ability to promote healing while allowing the cyclist to remain active on his bicycle.”

X-Static Technology

In fact, the antimicrobial property of X-Static is clinically proven to reduce contaminants. The silver layer is actually the key to the fabric's ability to fight microbes, as it creates an ionic shield that permanently inhibits the growth of both fungi and bacteria.

The amazing thing is that the fabric has the natural flexibility, look, and feel of traditional textiles, while all the while offering the health benefits of pure silver. Furthermore, X-Static fiber has the ability to regulate body temperature, keeping the wearer cool and chafe-free. Such fabric has been used to clothe NASA astronauts, US Special Forces, and Olympic athletes.

Given all the advantages of X-Static, there’s one article of clothing that could really use them: underwear. Only a few brands incorporate this new technology to their underwear, so listen to the pros to tell you which one to pick.

The Silver Collection

When choosing which one to entrust your area to, industry experts recommend Naked Brand Group Inc., a brand that wants men to feel like they’re wearing nothing at all. Its vision stands erect: create a new standard for how products worn close to the skin fit, feel, and function.   

Bob Silverman and his sons are just some of the happy customers. They used the Naked Silver V-neck t-shirt when they ascended Mount Kilimanjaro in late 2014, and though the product has just been launched, it performed flawlessly.

“I wore the Naked Silver V-neck t-shirt all eight days and it held up great—no smell, breathed well, and worked well with my other layers,” Silverman said. “I wore the underwear three days. One of my sons wore his pair five days, and the other two wore theirs three days, too. The briefs felt really good the whole time.”

Similarly, Matt Allyn, editor of Bicycling Magazine, lauded the Silver Collection. In particular, he praised the Naked Silver Boxer Brief for preventing sweaty undersides and cooling his body quickly, especially on hot days.

“Billed as 'underwear that can be worn for longer than it should,' I can't say I've tested the outer limits of decency, but I do feel cool and clean after an afternoon of Citi Bike errands when cotton briefs or boxers would fail me.”

Another fan is Daniel Antonio, senior editor of Materialology. He also recommended the Naked Silver Collection for its health benefits.

“As they say, 'You might not be an Olympic athlete, soldier or astronaut, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate fabric that has been engineered for high performance.”

“Wow is all I got to say and I'm a witness to this as I have a pair of the boxer brief model and have fell (sic) in love with them.”

The Silver Collection consists of a boxer brief and V-neck shirt and is created with X-Static technology, thus providing antimicrobial and anti-odor protection within the garment. After all, the X-Static fabric naturally deters odor-causing bacteria, wicks away moisture, naturally cools, and protects against skin irritation.

However, as Naked Brand President and CEO Joel Primus said, “We're not saying that you shouldn't change your underwear, but with Naked Silver, you can get away with wearing them a whole lot longer.”
