[pct-l] underwear

[Jerry Goller]

They still make it. I've got one on right now. I've not had much stink
problems with mine, though. I've been using them on every trip for the last
10 years or so.
 
As far as natural fabrics being stink free, you've obviously never smelled a
sheep.......   ;o)

Lawrance,
Patagonia used to make stuff called SILK weight underwear...they were made
of poly but felt like silk....I have an original shirt of this material and
it has worn like iron and is a great shirt but it stinks! :)

Wow- that surprises me Lawrance.  I thought all natural fabrics were "stink
free".  Are your shirts maybe a blend?  Maybe has some nylon in the fabric
or something.  Then I could understand.......at any rate, I'll check out the
Patagonia site.....didn't know they made silk long johns.  I'm mostly
concerned with warmth as I get cold really easy and my heavy duty Patagonia
kept me so toasty.  Thx.

                I took two Patagonia light weight silk shirts on a thru hike
this summer and loved the comfort-like hiking in my pajamas.  For
versatility of warmth, comfort, and decent tolerance for wear and tear,
these were my favorite shirts ever.  However, for all my nearly obsessive
laundering of them on the trail, they both became rank after two days (I
perspire a lot).  Even after coming home, they still don?t smell quite like
new.  If any one has any good ideas for cleaning silk, I?d appreciate the
hints.
