I was the same way --- but the high-tech synthetics today are much better,
and cotton kills when wet. The modern synthetics breathe well and allow
evaporation, and once I shelled out for them, I will NEVER wear cotton in
the boat again. I don't even like 50/50 cotton/poly any more.


How about 70/30 poly-cotton? That's less than a third cotton... I saw
some attractive duds in that mix the other day... I'm thinking this
would dry out a lot quicker than pure cotton, anyway, yes?
