>>2176431>cotton dries slowlyThe fuck are you talking about? One of the reasons cotton is so popular is because it dries quickly. The reason the "cotton kills" meme exists is because, like synthetics, cotton loses all insulation value when wet, and in winter that can cause hypothermia. Cotton doesn't cool you by staying wet, it cools you by evaporating.
Most of my /out/ gear is wool or cotton canvas.
