how is odor an issue for you?

I perspire heavily and have odor on the underarms and from the hair area on my chest.

how did you test the shirt?

I went out to go on a backpacking hike, approximately 10 miles in Louisville, Ky. I was carrying about 35 pounds in rolling hills, with about 150 to 200 foot elevation gains with temps in the 70's. This was done in 1 day. On another trip, I went to southern Indiana, carrying about 55 pounds, hiked approximately 24 miles with elevation gains of about 200-400 feet. These 200 to 400 foot drops and gains are done at about 2 ravines per mile. It is a constant up and down terrain. This trip was a 2 1/2 day hike with temps in the 30's to 50's. Still a complete soaking underneath a wool sweater and a wicking longsleeve over the Agion shirt.

how did the shirt perform?

I have used this shirt on about 5 camping trips, worn for 3 days straight, and another 4 or 5 hiking trips, also 3 days hikes. Basically, the shirt did have odor, worse on one side than the other. Although, it did not stink as bad as I have when wearing cotton shirts. I tried this shirt with no deodorant at all, and I should have stunk way worse than I did, I have to say the treated side of the shirt does work.

What other products would you like to see Agion Active in?

Other products with odor control like socks, underwear shorts, and hats.
