I recently spoke with a customer who has been using his Hiking Wool Shirt to work out every evening. This particular customer wanted to test the odor fighting power of merino wool. What he figured out was even after 7 days in 90 degree heat the merino wool didn't smell. On the 8th day he wore one of his polyester workout shirts and it needed to be washed after that 1 workout. The customer then remarked about the drying aspect saying "15 minutes after a strenous workout my merino wool shirt is dry to the touch, that has left a lasting impression with me".
This just goes to show you the advantages of wearing merino wool when you are on on the trail, riding a bike, or doing anything where you could potentially work up a sweat.
