These seem to hold in some stank even after I wash them. Any idea how to get it out? I've tried a laundry soap with Febreeze but the results were marginal. Has anyone tried Penguin Sport Wash? I would buy it if backcountry sold it.

Hey, Hikes. Try 1/4 cup of distilled (white) vinegar in your wash load with your regular detergent (I've found that Arm & Hammer kills smell the best of the detergents). It's a fix of the old wives variety, and it works like magic. I learned this this summer on the Appalachian Trail when I was crewing for Karl Meltzer during his speed record attempt. The smell of his clothes could (and did) peel paint. A trail friend named Trail Angel Mary passed on the tip and we all lived happily ever after.
