>>2775786you've got some nerve calling anyone else retarded with a post like that. no shit your baselayer will be sweat through on an ascent, what matters is how fast it dries and if it will retain your body heat, cotton doesn't, and any merino and most polyester layers will dry in a much, much, shorter time than anything cotton without even taking it off. you are full of shit but I'm sure you think you know better than every professional outdoorsman and conventional wisdom in general. enjoy your hypothermia you dipshit
