So, for christmas I got a nice pair of Carhartt fleece lined (polyester) denim jeans:

I was wondering how these might perform in an unexpected survival situation.

Does the fleece lining negate the killer cotton denim shell? Will the cotton kill you slower with a fleece lining, or is there no benefit at all if they get wet?

Opinions?
