Washing Stretch Air\'s

So I got a pair of the stretch air pants and they are not perfect, but pretty decent as far as wearablity. I do sweat profusely while wearing them. As a result (perhaps) they smell just gawdawful! I HAVE washed them I swear. I followed the guidelines, which include a warm water wash. Not hot which is my go to for getting rid of stink. Wondering if anyone has any tricks up their chainsaw protective pant legs out there.

Try some borax along with your detergent. My cycling jersy is a poly blend that can get really rank and hold that smell unless I use the borax.

Also hot water is your enemy. The water is really not hot enough to kill the bacteria but instead creates a nice warm environment for bacteria to thrive. I wash all my clothes in cold water and don't have a problem (I'm sure that my stinkiness could be debated to some degree, after all, we are climbing trees in 100 degree weather).

Yep, no heat. I always hang mine up to dry when i get home.

Shower... yeah I knew I was forgetting something. I'll try the cold water. I just ran out of borax, before I got them fancy pants, thanks for the reminder. Thanks fellas.
