>>2642698wool socks actually make sense because as you said you will sweat. wool and silk slide better against the skin when wet and don't make you blister as easily. wool's sturdier than silk.
>>2642290>for cold or extreme cold weather gearsheep wool isn't even close to as warm as polyester insulation.
not even on the same planet.
the only natural material warmer is goose down, not the cheap kind you find in $100 jackets either.
>>2642088no it doesn't.
sheep wool loses to synthetics on almost every objective measure.

>>2643833these threads seem shilly and inorganic as fuck.
where did this sudden influx of neverhiked retards who think they're going to get cancer from skin contact with nylon come from? tiktok or something? this influx of retardation showed up abruptly about a year ago and i've had the vibe its a single mentally retarded anon elaborately trolling, some kind of chat bot, or a gen z social media trend. where did you get this idea that nylon is going to make your balls flip inside out in the first place?
>>2645489> tears easily, and makes you sweaty and clammy.like where do these retards even get these ideas in their heads?
polyester wicks and evaps sweat better than wool.
polyester has a zillion times the tensile strength of wool.
its the exact opposite of what this retard is suggesting.
materials science not only exists, its actually the science class they sent all the stoners and retards who couldn't hack it in physics to back when i was in school.
