Odd, what brand? The Zensah ones (Israeli army issue equipment!) contain silver oxide, and Under Armour contains an unknown compound they like to market, both for killing bacteria. My Zensah compression shirt doesn't smell like rotten man days later (I refuse to re-wear though), but that's me; I haven't tried Under Armour, but my next buy is an Under Armour Tactical V-Neck HeatGear Compression base layer.
