anyone else surprised by their post ride aroma?
Definitely can be the fabric...
I have 2 jerseys, which I like both for fit and 'feel' - BUT they stink !!! Meaning, I wear them for 1/2 hour and not matter the level of ride, they just get stinky...
I wash, with various liquid detergents from strong stuff down to Woolite and nothing changes, they continue to stink...
Not sure what the 'fabric' is, not a 'club' jersey and don;t remember how I go them... Don;t believe I even looked at the tags...
If it's a club jersey, ask other riders if they have the same problem and if they have solution...
Get different Jersey/Jerseys...
It's annoying when in a group, you're having coffee and you know everyone can 'smell' you !!! LOL!
No jersey is worth that, no matter the 'cool' factor...
Ride On
