My experience has been that saturated fleece can be wrung out quite quickly and will be relatively drier than comparable wool almost immediately. I like both, but fleece has lasted longer than wool for me. I still have the first fleece jacket I bought back in 1981. It still functions,although it is a little threadbare in the elbows. None of my good woolen items from that era have lasted that long.

People should also think about lethal and non-lethal defensive tools. That hasn't been mentioned (as far as I know). However, this sort of stuff depends so much on local law, personal ethics, individual ability, and the state of public safety that I don't know how we can have a useful discussion here.

I didn't discuss the contents of my defense module for that reason. We could start a different thread for that purpose.

Mom is in a nursing home. They still have wool blankets in bags, mounted on the wall, for fire suppression.
I don't know if this is a regular problem with the wheelchair races, or not... laugh
