>Wool is a good compromise.

I find merino wool to be far the best base layer. It's fantastic at wicking and doesn't smell at all.

It seems to have unnatural abilities not to smell. I have run marathons in my favourite woollen cycling jersey. It didn't smell at all. I went into work the next day wearing it without washing it.

Merino wool is really great, especially in a high humidity environment (e.g. Singapore). It's pretty comfy as well, not as comfy as cotton, though.

Where does one obtain wool clothing in Singapore?

Wool definitely can smell. It just takes a while.

Yup, I'm a HUGE icebreaker fan. I always wear icebreaker t-shirts when I cycle to work.
