I have a few older capilene base layers. I think, light/midweight. They smell big time. I read on their site they attempted to do change with the newer ones. I buy cheaper/offbrand (or closeouts of better brands) wicking underwear and save the money for the shells.

yea I always wear a really light base. The other layers are there to keep you warm not the base.
