After the run, the shirt smelled good enough to go to a sit down restaurant.

how is odor an issue for you?

I mostly have issues with odor due to sweating while exercising. I do not tend to have issues during the day, but as soon as I start my after-work runs, I sweat like crazy! The real issue tends to be that my running clothes "hold on" to these smells after a few runs.

do you have any funny odor stories from your past?

Nothing too funny here. One thing I will say is that it would be great if the Agion material could be integrated into shoes. One of the worst smells possible comes from running shoes left in a backpack, in the car, on a summer day. Not good!

how did you test the shirt?

I tested the shirt on at least three runs of 20+ miles, with the final run (last Saturday) consisting of 22 miles. Saturday was the ultimate test, because we started out at 6 a.m., in the rain. It rained for the first hour, and then we averaged 7:15 pace for the rest of the run. After the run, the shirt smelled good enough to go to a sit down restaurant (something I would NEVER do in normal "wicking" clothes.

how did the shirt perform?

I only used the shirt on my "Saturday long runs" for marathon training. The first two runs were in June and July. These runs last about three hours on average, during which time the shirt is pretty much soaked. All I know is, this shirt should stink! That said, it smells good enough after a wash to wear casually. I'd say you guys need to make hoodies!

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

As I mentioned, shoes would be fantastic! Socks would also be a great applicaiton.
