Eat My Rohan Pants...
It's okay, they don't smell, as silver thread technology at last makes inroads into the nether regions. I'll get my pong-free coat shall I?

It no niff knickers from Rohan as another company embraces
X-static silver-thread technology.
We've been dead impressed with the fabric as used by Berghaus in
its new X-static Top - see our review
- and, let's be brutally honest here, the nether regions are an
obvious candidate to no-stink fabrics.
Rohan's answer are the X-Stinctive Briefs, which are made from a
fabric incorporating Rohan's high-wicking Dynamic Moisture Control
technology treatment as well as X-Static. The later consists of a 5
per-cent layer of pure silver permanently bonded to the surface of
the fabric.
The silver has anti-bacterial properties and kills the nasty
little microbes responsible for bad smells down below, so, claim
Rohan, bringing an end to: 'Damp, sweaty and frankly less than
pleasant underwear, even on a long trip in hot and humid
conditions.'
'Less than pleasant...' Hmmm, for that reading 'stinking,
anti-social, tent-clearing shreddies' in the real world. The
X-Stinctive Briefs retail for £15 and use flat-locked seams to
reduce rubbing and improve comfort. There's also a matching tee-shirt
using the same technology.
For further details and stockists, see the Rohan
web site.
