From Backcountry.com:
"Whew, the shuttle bus smells like one big armpit. It's not because of you, though. The reason you know that is because you're wearing The North Face XTC Midweight -Zip Pullover. And this base layer has a bit of carbonized bamboo that helps block odor. Underarm gussets help with mobility when you ski, backpack, and mountaineer."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The importance of a solid base layer in cold conditions can never be overstated. For cold forays, the XTC Midweight A Zip keeps your core dry and comfortable hour after cold hour. Made with Carbon from Bamboo technology, moisture and sweat wicks away from your skin, moving to the outer layer of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. Underarm gussets increase your range of motion, and a slight drop tail hem provides greater coverage while reaching upward or outward. Part of the Flight Series collection."

From REI:
"The North Face Midweight XTC Quarter-Zip top combines bamboo-derived charcoal with polyester to create a high-performance base layer suitable for a wide range of cool-weather activities. Polyester and bamboo charcoal polyester blend offers moisture-, odor- and UV-management using natural means instead of chemicals. Polyester yarns are embedded with charcoal from carbonized bamboo; the highly porous nature of carbon helps wick and disperse moisture to dry quickly. Bamboo charcoal naturally removes odor and particles from fabric—just like your water filter—and won't wash out. Naturally UV-resistant fabric with a UPF 30 rating shields skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Bamboo is a highly renewable resource that is easily grown without fertilizers and pesticides. 8 in. zipper regulates temperature instantly and storm flap feels smooth against your skin. Droptail hem offers increased coverage for active sports. Reflective logo front enhances visibility. Gusseted underarms allow a full range of motion without binding. Flatseam construction is soft and non-chafing next to skin."

"The first thing I thought of when I read the description was, "This is for me!" - I was not disappointed. The XTC is made to function as a base layer, but to grab and hold that most offending substance (B. O. ) like a water filter as you work and sweat."
