I have just been reviewing my personal 'EDC Clothing.'<br><br>I learned long ago, durring a rain soaked white water rafting trip, that wool really does keep you warm when soaked.<br><br>At work, I wear cotton (I drive a computer), but as we all know "cotton = death."<br><br>I have been looking at the latest HighTech fibers, and they really seem to work, but they are not fire resistant. Worse, they melt and add to whatever other problems that you might have. Natural fibers (i.e., wool, silk) seem to have some fire resistance in addition to protection from rain and cold.<br><br>what do you folks think?<br><br> larry<br>
