>>2645502>Wool still retains heat even when it's wet; even when fully saturated.No it doesn't, you're talking bullshit.
>The lower layer is what gets wet and clammy with sweatIf you don't sweat too much, it dries off. Which is, you know, what sweat is supposed to do, dry off to cool you down. If you sweat too much, because you're too dumb to wear the correct amount of insulation, the sweat piles up and you feel clammy. And maybe if you wore wool, the wool would absorb the water and you wouldn't feel it as much... but that wouldn't do you much good, because first it doesn't cool you down as well and second the water is still there in the wool, to cool you down slowly at a later date. Wool often feels more comfortable, but it's not better at keeping you warm.
>Muh larp, you never go outsideProjection.
Most armies in the world, most professionals working outdoors, most professional mountaineers etc. etc. wear synthetic insulation clothing. Because it fucking works, it is durable, it is quick drying. People can literally jump into ice water in full gear, come out again, and survive the time it takes for the gear to dry.
>The PCU system is a constantly self-drying soft-shell system, reinforced with hard shell components, which dries as quickly as possible when it gets wet. In testing the system, users are encouraged to get wet before starting, in order to see just how quickly water is forced out of the system. After submerging the system, the wearer engages in movement on land, which results in the next-to-skin clothing being dry in about 15 minutes and the entire clothing system being dry within 60 minutes.You go do that in wool and come back alive. I don't think you'll succeed.
