Corey, I must be a smelly guy or sweat heavy then, course it was in the 90's and you do sweat in that kind of heat. I never had that problem with microtex, wool or even cotton, you'd sweat but it never smelled that bad. I had all the 2007 gear myself, sold it because of it. I do like the gear just not the base layers because of the stink. Took a long time to dry in camp too after I washed it in the creek, maybe the new polartec power dry stuff is better? I do like the new ascent pants thats for sure.
