I think a lot of stink is based on a persons body. Mine seem to do fine about not developing a funk but I have a friend that can make something stink like crazy in a really short period of time

All of this is true too. And some people exert themselves harder than others on a hunt at times.

After I set up camp up high - I run the Mtn tops and don’t exert as much - but getting up down/ into a bowl - I def do.

I also don’t take good deodorant either because I don’t want that crap caking up.

I’m living like a animal for the most part…

Mine seems to do fine on mult-day hunts. It has been my primary base layer for 4-5 day archery elk hunts over the past 3 years. Odor has not been significant during that time.

I’ve also noticed that the Sitka snags easily - even tho I’ve only used for day hikes and runs and only had my newest tops about 60 days

I use the mitchum brand ROLL ON unscented deodorant. It works awesome. Nothing to clump. I only use it on backpack hunts because it contains aluminum.

I firmly believe some people smell way worse than others when they sweat. Everyone is different, results may vary….
100% this…. for me about day three it starts to smell a little bit isn’t terrible. After a hunt I wash it in the whitetail scent killers detergent and that gets it back to not stinking at all. I thought that scent killer soap was a hoax but I’ve had great results with it getting body odor out of clothing

I have found that the core lightweight is VERY stinky. I have the hoody and the tee.

I can't get more than 1 day out of it. Even if I'm not sweating, it stinks. I don't know what that polygiene treatment is supposed to do but it doesn't work for me.

Maybe my brand of stink just doesn't jive with that fabric treatment.

Same. 1 day in and it smelled to high heaven. I just wore it for 8 days straight and my hunting partner literally couldn’t be downwind of me. Lol
