But I would think that odor was a sufficient but not the only reason to
wash a garment that had been worn for vigorous exersize. And wet wool
does have an odor all its own.

Now I will take your word for all of these assertions save one. In my
experience, polyesters greatly exaggerate body odor, and tend maintain
some amount of smelliness even through washings. That's probably the
foremost reason I don't wear synthetics anymore.

Even synthetic are made better these days- even Polyester! It's often
blended with other fabrics.

Cycling jerseys dry incredibly fast, and they don't smell. Even on
really hot sweaty days- they smell sweaty and like sunscreen, but they
don't reek of BO. At least not on me!
