I wore it just over 70 miles in the last week, as a test. Tonight I gave it to my female roommate (she could smell a mouse fart in a hurricane) and said I didn't know if this is the one I just washed or not. She stuck her nose in it and declared it "Good to go, I can't smell any funk in it"!!! Proof positive of the odor resistance of merino fabrics.
