[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2869961, member: 97050"] That’s vague, in regards to how synthetic sucks.. Underwear is underwear. I know the comments here get pretty wild sometimes, but if you’re all hot and sweaty, that won’t change. Cotton holds moisture longer than any of the other options. That’s bad for overnighting, and that’s bad for bacteria. It’s not a problem if you’re able to go home and change. 3 days and 40 miles of hiking later..that’s a different story. Moisture basically passes through nylon and polyester. But they have no insulating properties generally, nor antimicrobial, unless treated with silver. Merino wool absorbs moisture, but has natural antimicrobial properties. In addition it doesn’t lose its ability to regulate temperature. [/QUOTE]
