I was the same way --- but the high-tech synthetics today are much better,

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?

Sure, you will now be 70% dry! 30% still wet and clammy! Sounds good
to me, if it works for you! Just don't be making a lot of complaining
sounds to your companions! Also remember if you do a wet exit, you will
be trying to re-enter with a load of water absorbed into your clothes,
that always makes it easier, as in ever try to swim in Levis! HYY
