Now that you've effectively poo pooed carbon clothing for me, for which I'm forever grateful as it keeps money in my pocket , how 'bout some of the other options out there?

Such as-

1- Ab-scent, scent absorbing crystals.
2- Silver impregnated material to nip odor at the source, preventing bacteria from producing, such as the X-scent line.
3- Deoderant impregnated material, such as the Contain line.
4- Chemical impregnated material, such as the No-Trace line.

I firmly believe in starting with a squeaky clean and scent free body and all clothing to be worn into the field, but the X-scent stuff has me intrigued. Makes sense, start clean, prevent further bacterial growth plus the material they use is designed to be worn next to skin and is moisture wicking. Plus, it's cheap!

I keep waiting for the No-Trace stuff to take off so there will be more out about it, but so far, not much. Supposedly the chemical they treat the fabric with absorbs odors as effectively as activated carbon, but can be regenerated by washing, no high heat required. I'm dissapointed they don't offer a set of moisture wicking/body temp controlling "long johns" as an option. Makes the most sense to me.
