IOW, keep looking. Nylon, polyester, polypro, even wool are all a

OK - I will try a few different fabrics such as the above three.

I've always been a staunch cotton man in the past, since cotton seems
to reduce perspiration - or allow it to evaporate. It seems to keep
one fairly cool in hot weather, yet warm in cold weather. I can't
remember having been soaked to the bone in cold weather while wearing
cotton though...

I have always avoided polyester like the plague because I was under
the impression that it inhibits the proper evaporation of
perspiration, thereby making one sticky and smelly.
