In Mountaineering and outdoors circles, cotton is known as the 'Death Cloth' because of its cooling effects when wet.
cotton
to keep your body warm....
wet it with warm water
Cotton is not as warm or as water repellent as other fabrics.
what keep you warm in alska
Cotton when wet exhibits a capillary effect and wicks much water into its volume. It does not keep you warm.
I personally would have thought that cotton clothes would be preferred, as they lock in the heat and keep the person warm, silk clothes look and feel nice, but do not provide as much warmth as cotton clothing would.
Wtf? First get the info right. Cotton doesn't keep you warm, it keeps you cool... ^_^

Acrylic favbrics are totally artificial. They will keep you warm, but you will probably sweat more because it doesen't let your skin breathe as it would covered with natural material such as cotton or wool.
