    If it’s cold and wet enough that you’re going to freeze wearing cotton, you will also freeze wearing wool.

    Wool doesn’t repel water. Water passes right through it onto, guess what, you.

    You don’t have to share an opinion that has no basis.

    Identify the opinion or admit you don’t know what an opinion is.

    These are the people who think wool will keep you from freezing in the wet and cold while cotton will not.

    All I can say is, lol. Make your own decisions and don’t let strangers on the internet put your life at risk.

    I’m not going to argue with them anymore because I’ve come across their type before and no matter what, they will believe contrarian bullshit and fight tooth and nail to defend it.

        Do you have wool? Place it over a cup and then pour water over it.

        See what happens.

          Go on a 7 day backpacking trip in the winter in the snow, wear cotton socks on one foot and wool socks on the other, then get back to us, also no one is claiming that wool is water proof, we are claiming it keeps you warm even when it is wet. You are so disingenuous it physically hurts, like the frostbite you will get on your feet if you don’t use the correct socks.
