Rule #1 of cold weather survival: You sweat, you die.
Wool isn’t going to save you. Taking off layers will. If it’s raining, wool won’t protect you any more than cotton will because neither are water-resistant. Lol.
So sad this needs to be spelled out for ya’ll, but the voting snowball effect has already taken hold.
Now we have like 10+ who legitimately believe wool will save you in a cold, wet environment where cotton wouldn’t.
wool fibers are able to accumulate the moisture (from sweat or small rain) fully in the central part (cortex) and simultaneously keep the hydrophobic surface shelves dry, thus offering relative high thermal resistance and dry (warm) contact feeling even with 30–40% moisture in the fabrics
thermal comfort properties of wool fibers and wool fabrics cannot be found in cotton and viscose fabrics, (Oglakcioglu and Marmarali 2010) where the deterioration of their thermal comfort properties with the increasing relative moisture is much stronger and quicker than in the studied woolen fabrics samples. Thus, even in case of wool and wool/PES fabrics subject to some antifelting treatment, like in our case, the thermal comfort properties of the investigated samples exhibited relatively slow decrease of their thermal resistance and relatively slow increase of their thermal contact feeling, when the relative moisture content increases. That is why the woolen fabrics belong to the most comfortable and valuable commercial textile products.
If you over exert yourself and sweat cotton underlayers are useless.

Laughable.
Hey look, someone studied it!
It’s totally possible that I’m too dumb to understand a scientific paper, but it sure looks like you’re a dumbass.
So… can you quote anything from it that proves your point? Or do you just link to studies and have other people read them for you?
Lol.
Sure, lazy ass.
Idk able the whole die thing but I know what I’d rather be wearing
