odiferous...

All,

TEXAS Gulf Coast summers are hot and humid.  What can occur, with a mix of grime, dead bug guts, and human bacteria can be an awful septic stew on riding gear.  Yesterday I washed my mesh jacket and my kevlar jeans, and aired out the Shoei with a dryer sheet.  I am sure my wife is thankful, and those that sit near me in church.

The thought that when you stank in church they sent you to sit in your own p(h)ew.

For helmets, I wash the liner with antimicrobial soap, let it stay on for several minutes, then rinse and dry.  I think a dryer sheet would mainly make perfumy microbes, not dead ones.

I went to the church of Moto Guzzi this morning to be w/all the things you just washed off.

Get a new liner. The new ones have anti-microbial properties already, regular cleaning regime. Tip: have a few extra liners, change out as needed and wash the pulled one. Handy on longer rides.

Doesn't help the rider who go for a 2k mile ride and wear the same underwear the entire trip.
