Nor can I. I can't imagine wearing poly clothes next to my skin here in
the cool PacNW let alone in the tropics. The stuff makes me break out in

an itchy rash. And those that say wearing cotton clothing is sure death
by hypothermia are full of it. That said I wear plenty of polar feece
etc. on top of the cotton and change out of cotton if it gets wet.
