Does anyone know if this has "anti-stink" qualities? The first generation of technical polyester shirts almost got stinky just by looking at them and thinking about a hike... they've improved but I didn't see any reference to antimicrobial treatment or natural odor resistance in this "HELIUS" material. Any info on how this shirt smells after a long day of hiking would be VERY much appreciated... Martin

The Arc'teryx Ether does have some anti-stink element to it, which, in my experience works just OK. They don't get stinky by looking at them, but I can only wear mine for one day. If I wear it a second day without washing I'm pretty offensive. The good thing is the stink does wash out well, unlike the older versions of synthetics that never let go of odor. One of the qualities about this shirt that I really like is that for a silkweight shirt, it's held up way longer than any others I've owned, and is really comfy to wear.
