I f the silver and zinc are in there to inhibit smell, it does work. THe clothes will smell nice and clean, and you will still stink.

And God said to Gabriel
"Oh, hell, we'll never get the smell off the fish!"

well, i learned my lesson last year. i don't care how good they are at wicking, it's gonna be wet in there so im wearing one pair and carrying an extra pair for camp. im not gonna be cold and wet if i can help it.
that mountain hardwear stuff fits me a little better than the capilene and the guy at the store said they all swore off capilene after this stuff came out, but it's also a lot more money so he could have been lying.

Sunshine, tell me more about silks. I have been thinking about getting a set of silks myself. Do they work as well as synthetic, or stink as bad? Do yours have part polyester or something to make them stretchy, or what? They would HAVE to feel good, as I LOVE the feel of silk... Whether I'm wearing it, or someone else is.
Heh, Heh, Heh.
