I came across it on REI when looking for underlayers for bicycling in cold, wet weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958567 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 12:29:04 +0000 Janet 1958567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never heard of them, but glad they're on my radar now. I think I'm set for cold-weather gear, but you never know what I'll discover in a couple of months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958494 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 03:03:22 +0000 ladypainter 1958494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen13,<br /> Hey! There’s *always* a destination specific need that can *only* be filled at the destination, isn’t there?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958491 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 02:53:49 +0000 karen13 1958491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh a new to me gear line! Please report back if you try. I have seen them but haven't tried them. </p> <p>I need to to just back away from the merino wool - I probably have a lifetime supply of Icebreaker and Smartwool. But did that stop me from buying a few new pieces in Melbourne when I was down under this summer? I told myself that the Kathmandu brand (kind of an Aussie REI) was unavailable in the U.S., and thus exempt from the rules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958401 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 19:20:11 +0000 ladypainter 1958401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem pretty interesting. :-)<br /> There were several brands new to me in-store. I didn’t have enough time to explore thoroughly, and the floor SA’s are always thin on the ground there, so REI is usually a targeted-mission shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958240 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 12:37:28 +0000 LaPed 1958240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good company -- Scandinavian. I think a larger product range is available in Europe than in the US, so maybe some Fabbers from across the pond will chime in. Pretty cutting-edge R&amp;D -- they were one of the first manufacturers to start incorporating silver ions into fabrics to reduce stink. The ceramic augmented fabrics are very interesting. I know Under Armour was marketing "bio-ceramic" garments that they claimed could help reduce inflammation, but providing a cooling effect sounds a bit more plausible... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gear-heads-odlo#post-1958236 Thu, 20 Sep 2018 12:26:05 +0000 ladypainter 1958236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I was in REI earlier this week to start replacing my base layers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked if I had seen the new Odlo line. Apparently REI is the only N Am distributor. The Ceramicool/ Ceramiwool lines actually use finely ground and re-kilned ceramic tiles embedded in the fibers.<br /> <a href="https://www.odlo.com/int/en/our-world/our-expertise/baselayers-sports-underwear.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.odlo.com/int/en/ou.....rwear.html</a><br /> Anyone try them yet? </p>
