Lutava™ Reveals First-Of-Its-Kind Product Line With Exclusive FITSHIELD™ Fabric Technology
Patented product innovation inhibits and kills 99% of bacteria and viruses in less than 2 hours
Lutava™, the first and only clean fitness solution offering a complete impermeable barrier of protection from sweat, odor, bacteria, and viruses debuted today a first-of-its-kind line of products using its exclusive FITSHIELD™ technology. The high-performance line of fitness accessories is launching with three proprietary products – the DRIVE car seat slipcover, the SPIN bike seat cover and the GRIP bike handlebar cover with more products rolling out later this year. All products are FDA approved, EPA certified, and available at lutava.com.
Lutava’s first drop of its patented antimicrobial fabric inhibits and kills 99% of bacteria and viruses, including the most common bacterial strains found in gyms:
- Gram-Positive Cocci, which include varieties such as;
- Staphylococcus, the cause of Staph and skin infections and;
- Streptococcus, the frequent cause of strep throat and pneumonia.
With the heightened concerns around Coronaviruses, the next product drop, available on June 30, will also inhibit the growth of 99% of the following viruses and kill them in less than two hours including:
- Coronavirus (SARS)
- Influenza A
- Bird Flu and;
- Norovirus
“The way we think about germs, bacteria and the spread of viruses in a communal space has evolved since the current pandemic, and as fitness enthusiasts begin to resume regular activity, they are going to seek ways to be protected,” said Casey Chavez, Founder and CEO of Lutava. “There are certain strains of bacteria that can double every 10-15 minutes and our technology creates a shield inhibiting the ability of microbes to survive. With 70% of gym bacteria potentially harmful to humans, we wanted to create a clean line of products that could give our community peace of mind while also keeping them safe from cross-contamination during their workouts and on their drive home.”
When it comes to keeping your sweaty active lifestyle safe and clean, Lutava’s exclusive FITSHIELD™ technology keeps you, your clothing, your car, and your space safe from germs, viruses, mold, and mildew while also inhibiting the growth and buildup of microbes which often destroy fabric integrity and cause staining and odors. Available in black or heather grey, products include:
- DRIVE ($100) – a car seat slipcover that stops unwanted cross-contamination and acts as a shield keeping sweat, stains and odor from entering your car and following you to your next destination. Fitting over most bucket-style seats, the slipcover is removable for machine-washing and has a built-in portable bag for convenient storing in your glove box or center console.
- SPIN ($39) – a bike seat cover that effortlessly fits all spin bike seats. It features a no-rub seam for comfort, an interior grip that stays put, and is easily portable and machine washable. A complete, waterproof barrier of protection, SPIN prevents cross-contamination of harmful strains of bacteria right where you need it most.
- GRIP ($59 pre-order) – a bike handlebar cover attached to a charcoal-infused detox towel that offers a shield of protection and provides a complete barrier from cross-contamination. Wipe away bacteria, dirt and sweat with its waterproof, moisture-wicking, quick-dry and antimicrobial properties. The charcoal-infused fibers recharge every time you machine wash and dry and helps to balance out natural oils while pulling toxins and impurities from your face and body. GRIP fits Peloton and an upcoming release will fit Schwinn and Stages handlebars.
