I have a particularly caustic sweat and it has permanently infested the fabric and no amount of washing will erase the stench. And so, I've been thinking about wool. I've heard they are cool and comfy and don't hold the smell quite so much. However, the price is on the steep side for me. These shirts are about half the price and made with bamboo charcoal they may also avoid the stink problem. Can someone speak to that issue and say whether I am correct in my assumption?

Oh, the steepest street in the world is in New Zealand... that doesn't make that hill any less steep though!
