I own a few icebreaker t-shirts and socks. I bought this stuff because its good for wicking and for not getting stinky. Well it works fine for wicking out sweat on not smelling bad for a few days of not washing BUT, when these shirts get wet from the sweat the wool smells pretty damn bad. It smells like this after a washing. I've read this is normal for wool. I'm just wondering if there is a way or if anybody here has any tips on toning down the wet wool smell.

Huh? I have lots of Icebreaker stuff, and they don't ever stink. They even pass my wife's "sniff-test". :0)

might be your washing power/liquid.

you want to be using bio instead of non bio

Some of my IB stuff does smell like a wet sheep, some doesn't. I think it depends on the amount of lanolin left in the wool; I believe washing will eventually remove the smell. Same as any other wool garment...

Well i usually wash my shirt after a ride when i hop in the shower. I use Dr. Bronners soap. Weather i wash it by hand or in the machine it equals STANK.
