smgjHmmm. . . Let's see. Non-harmful anti-microbial treatment VS. bacterial growth/infection in your crotch after days of hiking and only being able to wash your gitch in stream water. Do you always make such poorly informed choices?
smgjThe Aegis Microbe shield is by far the best thing about Exo undies. It works amazingly well and I have yet to notice any adverse affects after years of wearing them.
ReticentI'd rather use the cold water and carry the extra weight of a couple clean ones (not a lot of weight to them anyway) than trusting 3-trimethoxysilylpropyloctade-cyldimethyl ammonium chloride straight on to that part of mye body, yes.
Each to their own. It may turn out to be as harmless as stated, but I won't be the bunny.
smgjFunny. I've actually worked with the aegis materials in the lab, mostly to develop odor reducing fabrics for mattresses, pet bedding and other relatively difficult to wash products. It works like a charm at reducing odors, killing bacteria on a wide variety of different surfaces, has been thoroughly tested on skin contact applications. Its actually covalently bonded to the fabric so it won't be entering your body any time soon. But hey, chemophobia is cool these days!
