I've got to go with OBG on this one. During warmer weather cotton is a viable option; however in cold, and potential wet environments, cotton kills.

We've rescued many individuals during the winter wearing cotton clothing, most survived with various stages of hypothermia and/or frost bite . . . others didn't.

That probably means cotton, deadly when wet and cold. The polypro under them might help a little I guess. Same with the tshirt...
