I bought a sports top in a charity shop the other day made by 'studiotwo'. It's amazing, I can work really hard, get really sweaty and it never ever smells. All my other sports tops make me smell hideous after 5 mins of sweating. So I would very much like to buy some more tops from studiotwo but they don't seem to exist.... I've found a small number of items on eBay (e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/39332246...vEYX7l06wqzPrXy+wjFJT4StU=|tkp:Bk9SR87pg_uyYQ - shows logo really clearly and I'd buy it if it was a 12) so I'm not going insane but I can't find anything new anywhere. Anybody help or recommend another brand that does the same? I just assumed that sports tops were smelly until I found this one!!
 
Does your top give you a label showing the material "mix" it is made of? Might be possible to look for something similar in another brand if it does.
 
May be a silly question but have you tried pure merino? I am no wallflower in terms of getting a bit sweaty, no stranger to strong deodorant, and I can wear my tops for work for 3 days. Decathlon, and Isobaa from SportPursuit.
 
Thanks, I have bought the eBay top! I haven't tried anything else at the moment, this is such a new idea to me! I seem to be able to wear the top without any deodorant, ride in the school and get sweaty and still not smell. Starting to make me wonder if the other tops I have are making me smell rather than the other way on! It's just so odd that there doesn't seem to be an internet footprint for the manufacturer - surely even if they've gone bust there would still be a trail??
At least this second top will let me know if I bought a weird magic one the first time or if they all work the same!!
 
I've heard less sweaty people find they magically don't need deodorant in merino tops (in that case specifically Isobaa, which I love, but no difference to me which brand, they just vary more in terms of itchiness and how well they're made).
 
The studiotwo one is totally man made fibre (I think polyester + elastane). Maybe it's me that's changed, will try wearing one of my older ones again.
 
I find that once a synthetic top has 'gone' then it is hard to bring it back to fresh.

I use new ones, wash daily, and use a washing disinfectant in addition to the washing liquid. I also always us a biological liquid and wash at 60 degrees.
