The month of wearing my Icebreaker Chakra top is up. I estimate that this shirt has been worn for numerous bike rides, 4 snowshoe trips, 3 hikes, 5 frisbee games, and four weight lifting sessions. It has also has also survived being completely covered in mud, and being driven over when I accidentally dropped it outside of my apartment. All in all, that’s a lot of activity for one shirt to bear in a month.
As I don’t have much of a sense of smell, I have assembled a panel of judges for feedback. Here they are:
"I don't smell anything."
"This better not smell disgusting, because I am not going to inhale the scent of month old gym socks for your blog. Oh, doesn't smell bad to me."
"No b.o. It smells fine."
"What am I supposed to be doing with this shirt? Stop licking it? Ok. Well, it doesn't smell."
For my part, I am thrilled with how well this shirt has held up. I wouldn’t say that it’s 100% “No stink” as it promises, but the odor is pretty minor. I will definitely buy more Icebreaker in the future, and, as I have become emotionally attached to it, this Chakra top will likely get a lot more wear.

LOVE YOUR STORY. GOOD ADVISE TO FOLLOW
I wouldn’t advise anyone get their nostrils close to my “no odor” bamboo shirt before washing. Congratulations to all (brave) testers.
Ha. I’ve never been one to smell wonderful in general. Fortunately, my girlfriend likes the way I smell. which means I really lucked out.
Apparently, my right cheek (on my face!) smells nicer than my left cheek. So I’m told by my OH. Though she does say it smells better in the morning….
Thanks for the update. I checked a couple of days ago for the update and was afraid that something had gone terribly wrong when I didn’t find one. Glad it all went well.
I’m glad it went well too. I may just keep wearing it, as I have become emotionally attached to this shirt. (It’s hard not to bond when you spend a month together.)
