Default RE: X-scent technology with silver?

I just got back from an eight day hunt where I could only shower once during that period of time. Everyday I wore the x-scent long underwear on morning and night hunts. The socks were worn only on the night hunts. Hot temperatures during the day prevented all day treks. Nearly everyday I did wash my body with scentless handiwipes. Needless to say I did get winded when conditions weren't right.

I am drying the clothes as I type this. The socks and long john bottoms didn't smell to bad. The long john top however, stunk to high heaven. By the way, the long johns are made of silk and the sock unfortunately are cotton. I'm not sure if that has anything at all to do with odor but it certainly has a lot to do with wicking properties.

I guess what I am trying to say is that x-scent is far from a cure all. I was disappointed. Perhaps I expected to much. It is probably unreasonable to think that this "magic fiber" would eliminate or "cure" scenting problems in these extreme conditions.
