Wool clothes wick moisture away from your skin and don't lose their insulation factor when wet. Wool's tight fiber weave makes it durable and weather resistant, which is necessary when camping because you are exposed to the elements. Merino wool is soft with some flex. It maintains its structure form but moves with you. Both light weight and heavy weight wool is comfortable. Cotton clothes are soft and absorbent. Though cotton does not keep its thermal properties when wet, it does get stronger and becomes durable. Natural cotton fibers are hypo-allergenic, so those with sensitive skin or allergies typically have no reaction to it. Because cotton breathes, it provides welcome ventilation when camping in hot weather. Though both have their merits, wool clothing is best for camping. Wool will keep you more comfortable in all climates, whether you pitch your tent in the mountains or swampy bogs. You can add or remove layers, wring them out and dry them. Pack wool clothes for your next outdoor camping adventure.On One Hand: Wool is Warm
On the Other: Cotton Breathes
