mmm.... sounds yummy, I'll have to try some!  Actually, that does sound 
interesting, especially for longer trips, when it's more difficult to keep 
everything nicely rinsed/washed, and conditioned.

By the way, does this new polypro need to have it's anti-bacterial agent 
replenished from time to time - or is it somehow really "built in" to the 
material?
