Why is it better to wear a cotton shirt than a nylon one on a hot day?
Nylon is a synthetic material (means the fibers its made of are mainly a type of plastic), and cotton is a natural material. It's better to wear a cotton shirt on a hot day because it breathes (air can get in and out of the fabric), whereas the chemical makeup of nylon keeps the air from moving through the fabric. Basically, cotton will keep you cooler on a hot day than nylon will.
