Need moisture wicking undershirts..........

Fabric softener and dryer sheets coat fabric with a chemical that lubricated the fibers to help them slide on each other.  Like spraying wires to be pulled with silicone or your car seat with armor all.  That coating causes a slight level of water proofing to each fiber.

Now that you mention it I heard something like that before and there's a possibility that dryer sheets partially plug up lint filters in dryers. I think the jury is still out on that but fabric softener might plug the spaces in the fabric.

HA! heat, humidity.... bunch of girly men!
we just left Douala, Cameroon a few hours ago and am I glad. that being said, I work in an engine room that routinely reaches 140 F in some of the spaces (at the moment the average temp is 108 f). I will only wear cotton at work as it really does breath better than the synthetics. another reason, as was mentioned already, is that it does not melt and stick to your skin when it does burn.
      Cameroon was actually not the hottest spot I've been to yet. last summer (Aug) I was in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah (not places I want to be) and nearly killed myself with heat exhaustion. THAT, was hot. I have no desire to ever return to the Middle East. yuck. there are places in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf where the sea temperature is over 100F. we have to slow the ship down and shut down all non essential equipment to keep from burning up the engine.

It will.... I tried the test years ago after seeing a story on TV about dryer efficiency (air flow).
I pulled the lint trap out, cleaned the lint off, and poured a cup of water on it. The water would not pass through the screen.
**I do understand that surface tension does have some effect on the water standing on the screen, and air should still pass through. But there definitely was excess buildup on ours that was like a waxy film until I washed it.**
I cleaned it with hot water and Dawn detergent and then water would pass through.

That's the kind of information that everyone needs to know.

I was just in costco(hate that place!)  Buying a full pallet of cases of water bottles(always get funny looks when I do this, more when I tell them to get the fork lift. Having a box truck with a lift gate is awesome)

They had addias shirts for $13, I bought a couple too try out, I will let you guys know.



Edit, just too preempt the question, its 72 cases 1728 bottles.
