OBOW Light Travel Forum > Japanese astronaut testing 'odor-free' clothes

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29740325/

"Koichi Wakata is testing a new line of clothing developed for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency that is literally threaded with anti-bacterial and deodorizing materials.
...
The clothes, developed by Yoshiko Taya and colleagues at the Japan Women's University in Tokyo, were tested by JAXA astronauts during two previous shuttle missions and won rave reviews. In addition to odor control, the clothes are designed to absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static — as well as comfortable and attractive."

Sounds like a great future product for light travelers, even if we don't go into orbit!
