ExOfficio

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials and fabric technologies power ExOfficio gear?

  ExOfficio blends performance synthetics and plant-based fibers across its lines — many next-to-skin pieces use LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blends (often around 95% viscose/5% elastane) for softness and breathability, while the Give-N-Go and Give-N-Go Sport Mesh garments use fast-drying synthetic knits for moisture management and durability. The brand pairs these fabrics with engineered waistbands and knit constructions to balance stretch, support, and shape retention.
• How does ExOfficio keep travel underwear and apparel odor-free on multi-day trips?

  ExOfficio applies bio-based anti-odor treatments to many Give-N-Go styles and performance tops to inhibit odor-causing microbes, and pairs that with moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics so sweat doesn’t linger. Together those features extend freshness during extended wear and active days without relying solely on frequent washing.
• What’s the difference between Give-N-Go Classic and Give-N-Go Sport Mesh 2.0?

  Give-N-Go Classic is built for durable, everyday travel use with a smoother knit and slightly heavier fabric, while Give-N-Go Sport Mesh 2.0 uses a lighter, more open mesh for faster drying and increased breathability. Sport Mesh improves ventilation for high-sweat activities but can feel less substantial than the classic knit, so choose based on durability needs and ventilation preference.
• Does ExOfficio offer insect and sun protection in its product lineup?

  Yes, the BugsAway collection features permethrin-treated garments engineered to repel mosquitoes and ticks for travel and backcountry use, and select pieces include UPF-rated fabrics for sun protection. Some styles also incorporate water-resistant or quick-drain finishes for wet-weather travel, so you can pick features tailored to your destination.
• How does ExOfficio approach sustainability and responsible materials?

  ExOfficio has incorporated LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose in many items, a wood-based fiber processed to use significantly less water and generate less waste than conventional viscose, and the brand emphasizes durable construction to reduce garment turnover. Those material choices, plus lightweight, multi-use designs like Give-N-Go, aim to lower environmental impact through longer product life and more efficient fiber sourcing.
