Older Patagonia "Capilene" material have undesirable "odor retention" feature. Patagonia claim the updated version does much better. Do you have any experience between the new vs old (circa ~2000-2005 version)?
- chrisweekly 5y agoOnly w the new ones which def do not have this (or any other) problem. Note "Capilene cool *daily*" in particular. I tried one "capilene cool runner" which was... ok I guess, but much heavier fabric, not as soft, etc.
- fouc 5y agoNo idea if it will help, but I've found regularly adding a capful of bleach to my laundry of polyester shirts eliminates all odors for me.
- AntiqueFig 5y agoMerinos ftw though.
- culopatin 5y agoWhat’s the difference? I’m looking at some now. I hate heat but I like working in my non conditioned garage, so I’ll take anything that may help
- cowmoo728 5y agoI like the feel of polyester shirts better in hot weather. But I don't buy polyester or polyester blends anymore because they stink after just an hour or two of sweating in the sun. Merino doesn't have the same "cooling" feel but is good at wicking away and evaporating sweat, which helps your body keep a consistent temperature as long as you're hydrated. And merino doesn't reek like polyester clothing.
