Cycling attire looks good but after a ride or two it smells anything but. Repeated washing can help but at some point the miles just take their toll on even that favorite jersey. Part of the problem is that jerseys and shorts typically are as much plastic as natural materials and this makes removing that funky smell all the harder.
Perhaps Nikwax’s Basefresh can help. This is a detergent/conditioner that is designed for synthetic activewear, helping to deodorize while also inhibiting the build-up of body odors. It also accelerates drying and improves the cooling efficiency of base layers.
It is even designed to be used in conjunction with regular laundry detergents so it could help all the clothes smell a whole lot fresher.
