Interesting, I've done almost the exact opposite. The only article that I still buy synthetics for is underwear because the synthetic blends for those are very well tuned, but for things like shirts polyester tends to irritate my skin more easily, accumulates static electricity (and thus track cat fuzz) like crazy, gets uncomfortable when it's warm out, and pills badly after a few washes. For all that cotton works way better for me.
Maybe it comes down to differences in climate and body physiology.
- rcarr 3y agoEverything I wear is made by either Under Armour (trousers, socks, shorts, underwear, tops, hats), GoRuck (boots, jackets, polos), Patagonia (mid-layers/jackets) or Carhartt (hat) so I think that’s probably a big component of why I haven’t had any breathability or durability issues. I live in UK so weather isn’t too extreme here. I tend be fairly sensitive to cold but handle hot weather easily.
