I don’t really have smelly sweat, arm pits etc. However these shirts stink right out of the washer. We tried stripping and using all sorts of detergents. Just can’t be fixed.

Anyone know if nice shirts for outdoor sweating like tennis and pickleball?

This happened with my workout shirts too, but my wife figured out either the washer/dryer issue vs. new shirts. They are either sitting there wet for too long in the washer, or the dryer cycle isn't doing enough and they sit with some dampness there. I don't think it was a detergent thing for us, but she also could have done something with that. I am not allowed to interact with such things, only to fix them when they break.

Add the shirt and a cup of white vinegar to the washer with the next load. That should take care of it.

Majority of my wardrobe is Vuori and none of it smells. Check your washer or water or make sure nothing is sitting wet too long.

Use powder detergent and add borax. No smell

Switch to merino wool shirts. I wear shirts by Woolly Clothing.

Tasc is made with bamboo. To turn bamboo into viscose you must use harsh chemicals.

Vuori shirts are mostly polyester.

Merino wool is anti-microbial and extremely odor resistant in it's natural form.

I bought some Lysol Fabric Santizer and Oxi Sanitizer and soaked clothes in the sink for several hours in very hot water.

It worked.

Anything I had worn to the gym started smelling sour as soon as you start to sweat.

This. I wash all my work out clothes once a month with vinegar to keep the smell away. Especially in these summer months.

I use a vinegar based detergent (9 Elements) and will typically use the 30 minute soak setting for any kind of workout clothes. Especially dry fit ones. Takes care of the smell.
