go on a long hike or bike ride in fully synthetic garb—you will absolutely reek by the time you get to your car.

if you’re talking a 1 hour workout, then i agree.

the bummer is that synthetic materials are so comfortable to wear during exercise compared to cotton and so easy to care for compared to merino wool.

i just accept it and smell like my body has been turned inside out after long exertions.

That's not universal and it hasn't been my experience at all (up to, let's say, 8-10 hour hikes).

I'm a nearly scentless freak (confirmed by friends, acquaintances, lovers) and will, at the end of a 10 hour hike, smell less than my old housemate did fresh out of the shower. It's body chemistry I reckon.
