| X-Bionic Trekking Underwear Short Sleeved Top |
 |
The X-Bionic Trekking Underwear provides significantly increased comfort for athletes who carry backpacks. The patent-pending AirDuct Pads on the shoulders and hips spread the pressure of the backpack over a wide portion of your body. At the same time, the special weave of the 3D pads ensures that the sweat-intensive zones under the shoulder and hip belts are effectively ventilated and cooled. While you rest the 3D pads act as insulation.

SkinNODOR Technology
The gradual release of ions, which are activated by body heat, is the key to the effectiveness of SkinNODOR. These ions inhibit the growth of microorganisms rather than eliminating them outright, thus preserving the delicate balance of the skin's ecosystem. In other words, SkinNODOR is microbacteriostatic (i.e. it inhibits microbacterial growth), rather than bactericidal (bacteria-killing). Therefore allergic reactions do not occur. SkinNODOR is especially soft and breathable and provides superior fit.
Reduce sweating. But don't prevent it!
Don't waste a drop: sweat is too precious to dispose of completely. The skin requires a certain level of moisture in order to cool down. Evaporation cooling only starts to drive the body temperature down when moisture on the skin evaporates. Conventional functional underwear design has tended to ignore this vital fact by absorbing moisture completely and keeping the body as dry as possible. Big Mistake. Dry skin may feel good, but it lacks the ability to cool naturally.

Our Verdict
There's no doubting X-Bionic are expensive items but the technology does seem to work - and X-Bionic garments will last a long time - they're well make and the basic fibres are very tough.
We don't normally link to blogger reviews but PTC (link below) has a good reputation and has done a canny review for the trekking shirt.

Skin NODOR®
Skin NODOR® is a particularly soft new yarn with exceptional temperatureoptimizing properties. It features a polymeric matrix incorporating a bacteriostatic agent that will not transfer to the skin.
Excessive growth of bacteria on the skin and in clothing can cause unpleasant odor. Skin NODOR® helps maintain the skin's natural bacterial environment, i.e., Skin NODOR® has a bacteriostatic effect. Skin NODOR® works thanks to the continual reaction of ions within the fiber. This effectively inhibits the activity of microorganisms responsible for the build-up of bacteria and odor.
The unique bacteriostatic ingredient in the polymer matrix prevents allergic reactions. It is an integral component of the fiber rather than merely coating the surface, meaning the ingredient is not transferred to the skin.
Skin NODOR® is an especially robust and long-wearing fabric that offers protection from microbial contamination. Even after repeated washing, it does not lose its bacteriostatic properties, retaining them for the entire life of the item of clothing.
Skin NODOR® incorporates a special inorganic, anti-bacterial ingredient. This feature effectively retards the growth of the two most important types of bacteria: Gram-positive (Staphylococcus Aureus) and Gram-negative (K. Pneumonia). Because Skin NODOR® is not bactericidal (i.e. it doesn’t kill bacteria), it does not destroy the natural bacterial environment of healthy skin.
Products made with Skin NODOR® are unbelievably soft and extremely comfortable. The supple micro-fiber hugs the body, adapting to any shape. This guarantees optimal fit.
