    I’ve had this wonder in my mind as to if Xylitol woven fabrics have a smell that may attract bears.  I’m curious as to how safe such materials are to use in bear country.

    My Xylitol hoody has no odor that I can detect.  Then again I don’t have a bear nose.  (Yet, still saving up for the surgery).

    I’m guessing it’s a non issue.  My biggest complaint is that Xylitol shirts are awkward to use in a system.  Ie. What if it rains, or is cold?   The Xylitol seems like it would make you chill easier.  I wish I could remove the xylitol effect.  Not really worth it for me.
