Why you'll love it: It’s all about the GoldFusion technology with Rhone, which makes good on its promise to keep you stink-free. Back in 2016, Rhone managed to raise nearly $113,000 to bring its GoldFusion technology to its line of activewear. And now, that proprietary formula can be found in a wide range of activewear.
Rhone has long been one of my favorite makers of men’s workout gear (again, it’s great to look at). And judging from the reactions of the men in my life, they’re huge fans, too. Much of it is indeed due to the company’s GoldFusion technology, a proprietary, eco-friendly fabric treatment that leverages real gold particles to help fabrics dry up to three times faster. In addition, it’s UV protective, and promises to permanently control odor.
These claims have been put to the test by folks like David Mason of DFit Junkie, who noted that “even after five consecutive workouts and washes, the GoldFusion Technology continues to live up to the hype.” Mason reported no body odor despite his intense workout regimen, and I can attest to the same results. While I generally don’t want to be around men right after they’ve hit the gym, there’s no such issue for folks wearing a Rhone GoldFusion shirt.
Two new additions to the Rhone GoldFusion line include the 7-inch Swift Lined short and the Glacier Delta tank. The shorts, meant for running, feature a perforated venting system for cooling, as well as two side zipper pockets to hold essentials during a jog. Plus, a soft performance liner promises exceptional fit. As for the Glacier Delta tank, this workout shirt features an evaporative cooling Polartec fabric that helps you cool down as you sweat.
Of course, Rhone also has pieces that don’t necessarily have precious metals embedded into them, but are no less effective at getting the job done. Take, for instance, the new Mako Unlined short. Available in both 7- and 9-inch lengths, this short is made of a lightweight, four-way stretch fabric with plenty of pockets so you can wear them at the gym or anywhere else, too.
Forbes lauds Rhone workout gear for combining “classic cuts and designs with elevated technology,” while happy customers note that they wear Rhone gear “more than any...I have.”
Pros: Stink-free technology, comfortable fabric, and great fit
Cons: Some reviewers note that the shirts can be a bit longer than anticipated
