I am convinced that modern Australians have a cleanliness fetish when it comes to clothing and a bit of sweat

In every group there's one stinky person...if you don't know who it is, it's probably you.
Seems this thread is where the stinkers have come to roost.

I'll say it again.JustJames wrote:Seems this thread is where the stinkers have come to roost.
Coolmax = stinkmax, lots of pong even after just one day (I can smell it on myself)
Merino = sweet and comfy, no smell even after 4 days
I'm old enough to remember pre-coolmax days, even pre-lycra. Woollen jerseys were something you refrained from washing too much. The more they got washed the more they'd shrink, pretty soon it'll only fit little Johnny. Wool has a lot of special properties that no synthetics have yet been able to completely replicate.

But if we're talking about racing, training, commuting or JRA, I can't see a reason not to wash your kit. Whether it's made of nylong, cotton or sheep.

lightweight interlock knit with a touch of nylon and elastic for power. No sagging!
Really not sure that I can believe that - too many old memories

Everything else gets hung out in the sun dried and aired off and its good for 3 to 4 days.
Hasn't attracted to many flies so far.

What wash your cycling gear? .............They way I ride the only time I ever have to wash my cycling clothing is when it gets dirty due to me falling off the bike.ozzymac wrote:The only thing I wash every day are my sunnies......

Gets a bit much in winter though when you start wearing 10 -15 articles of clothing .
