|   Stinky Hydro Pack | Swamp Monkey
Sep 27, 2001 6:30 AM | | Does anyone have any tips on cleaning the outer shell of a Hydra pack? Mine smells like a locker room, if I leave it in a hot car, the whole car has that "after sport" smell for 24 hours. I ride three times per week and really sweat up. Help me, no one will ride with me anymore. |

I have tried probably half a dozen different brands - they all get a stench regardless of what the manufacturer claims. The techno/bio explanation I've read in a couple places is: there are small "particles" from your body that stay trapped in the fabric and as soon as they are heated up the stink starts/get worse than it already is. |
