RE: [Philmont]: Crew Shirts

-----Original Message-----
I made a trip to the Thorlo factory outlet last week and purchased their
Coolmax liner socks. The package states "For longer product life,
maximum protection and comfort, wash and dry using liquid fabric softer
after each use to lubricate the fibers for longer life."
-----------------------------------------------------
That is interesting.

What I have heard is that the way fabric softners work is that they fill in
the voids between the threads making the fabric softer. These voids allow
the breathing. If they are clogged up they don't work as well.

Of course I could be completely wrong, so if someone knows better please
correct me.
