Coumbia Omni-Freeze Zero Shirt

[maverick]

This shirt is antimicrobial which is supposed to help eliminate or cut down
on the sweaty smell that one gets from poly after a few days Russ.
Rockchucker or Robow8, do you have any input on this feature effectiveness?

With the buff I frequently rinsed it in the streams so it didn't get stinky. At least with me after a few days everything stinks with or without anti microbial!

To be a little more specific, the stink I am referring to in this case is the one
that settles into the fabric after a while and even after washing it is still somewhat
present. This was especially true with my Patagonia's Capilene for example, but has
never been an issue with the wool shirts (Ibex and Icebreaker) that I have used for
several years now.

Yea capilene stinks, and no the omni freeze has to lingering odor, I used it quite a bit during the summer working, construction as well day hikes and multi day trips.

Great, sound better and better. The only thing some of the reviews pointed out is
that the sizing is a little off, is this your experience too?

I have the buff, looked at the shirts, and they seemed small but they sold out before I could get one. I really wish they made a long sleeved hooded light weight shirt with the omni freeze.

I have no sense of smell, so I can't help you out there!

I've heard that putting some white vinegar in with the wash will help eliminate the stink.
