While we're waiting for responses, can you tell me if you had poor experiences with Polygiene? I have some Element pieces that I really like and was considering some of their base layers for this year after last year's foray into merino.

 

Nope, never used any odor control base layers before. I have had some merino wool, but like the synthetics. I recently started looking at it again, and come to find out the stuff really works in general (I think I thought all that silver treatment stuff was hype). I mentioned polygiene because that's a big name. I just wanted to be sure this Cabelas type is actually good also.

 

So like Enduraskin from VisaEndurance from years back? Fused silver in the garment. Started with Under Armour until they got crazy on pricing so they started producing for the RedHead line. I had a bunch of it, not sure honestly how great it worked for me though. Great clothing though.

The 4most inhibit has been used on a lot of Cabela's base layers for a while. I just posted a newer one.

I read a lot of Cabela's reviews and no one mentions whether the treatment works for odors (talk about warmth and comfort only).

I know the polygiene treatments work but they are at least twice the price and harder to find something I want.

 

I can attest that the E.C.W.C.S the Cabela's base layers are some high quality garments. They have the 4MOST INHIBIT system and I haven't noticed any problems with them. When its cold where I hunt, its cold for a while... so I wear them daily. I rotate them out with the Under Armor 4.0's that they were meant to replace and I can tell you that they last a lot longer in between washes than the Under Armors ever did. I'm weird about my scent control so they get washed in my regular scent routine and treated and stored the same as everything else. But they sure did stand the test last season.... very pleased so far.
