From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face made the Women's XTC Midweight Zip Long Underwear Top with a carbonized bamboo polyester fabric. This shirt gives you a warm layer which handles 50% more moisture than a standard polyester shirt. Plus, the XTC Midweight Top's unique fabric absorbs and decomposes odor-causing molecules, so you can ski all day long and not smell like a gym locker-room. The North Face XTC Long Underwear Top's front zipper helps dump heat after a hard mogul run, and a drop-tail hem keeps this midweight layer tucked in."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Whether you're skiing, biking, running or bagging peaks, the XTC Midweight 1/4 Zip Shirt for Men will become a key part of your layering system. The soft, thermally efficient, and high-performance design was developed for multisport athletes who spend a lot of time in their base layers, either on day trips or weekend adventures when fast and light packing is paramount. The natural odor absorbent bamboo charcoal fibers will keep you from scaring away your friends and loved ones- even after a long ski tour, or backpacking trip. The XTC midweight utilizes innovative Bamboo Charcoal technology, a process by which the bamboo plant is carbonized at very high temperatures and infused into yarns to enhance performance qualities. The end result of this process is an incredible layer that wicks moisture rapidly, inhibits odors, and delivers a UPF 50+ rating- all in a highly compressible, comfortable base layer."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"An ideal layer for fall hikes or for layering under a softshell when skiing, The North Face Men's XTC Midweight Zip Shirt insulates and wicks moisture to keep you moving. The North Face gave this performance base layer their new carbon, bamboo, polyester fabric. The increased surface area of the fabric draws moisture away from your skin better than regular polyester, resists odor, and traps harmful UV rays to provide UPF 50+ sun protection. If you start to get to warm on a long hike, unzip the XTC Midweight shirt's quarter-length zipper and let some heat escape."

"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."
