If you re-activate it prior to hunting..store it with horse poop or flowers..doesn't matter.
If you are re-washing and re-activating it doesn't make a hoot!
it probably matters to my wife whats on in when it goes in the dryer.....but in theory....you're likely correct. BUT....if it's all a hoax and I've been duped....it's AT LEAST as good as the rest of my hunting clothes!
