I just received an Early Winters (now Sahalie) illumilite cycling jacket that I won on eBay. It's a sweet jacket, with pit zips, a vent in back, plus a rear pocket...but...it smells funky! It is a previously-owned item (the seller, though, is just a re-seller, not the original owner) but in every other respect, it's in excellent condition.
Even after washing it, the funky smell is still there. I washed it again...still smells weird. I currently have it hanging outside to dry in the hopes that airing it out will reduce the funk.
I'm wondering if anyone else has any illumilite clothing, and if the odor is maybe an unavoidable by-product of the reflective material, or did I just get a stinky jacket?
ETA: I just found a 5-dollar bill in the rear pocket.
