Normally, I keep my equipment dry and clean, but one night I left my gear in the car overnight and the next day they smelt terrible - except for my Warrior Alpha DX Elbow pads. Which led me to wonder, was it because of the Wartech FNC Polygiene liner? I did a bit of research and found that Polygiene uses silver salt to combat bacterial growth:

And also silver salts and silver nano particles are used to combat microbial growth in medical settings:

Has anyone had a similar experience as me with these liners? Who do the other brands compared with Warriors Wartech FNC Polygiene Silver Salt coated liner?
