That's one of the times I really like the bags. My socks are still dry when I go back out. It used to be that I could get places with dry feet but not do another ride unless I took my socks off when I got there. Yes, sometimes I notice the bags and wet feet and they look like they've been in a bathall day when I get home. (My routine is leave the bags on my feet until I step into the shower. Pull the first off, now inside out, step in and do the same with the other. Rinse the bags under the shower stream bag openings down and take my shower. Everything stays clean smelling.)

For longer stays indoors, bags that are in good shape (no holes and still hold air) are important. That sweat is smelly, near toxic! (Not to you, but all noses involved. Keep it contained until you get home!)
