Cotton is NOT a recommended material to wear in cold/damp environment... Cold can lead to hypothermia and that can lead to death....Cotton Kills.
Layered materials that retain body warmth and at the same time, wick away body moisture is mandatory when under heavy exertion in cold weather.
Some of the currently "in favor" material, is polypropylene waffled underwear in combination with outer garments of GoreTex.

Thank you for that information on cotton - I didn't know that it caused such problems at low temps!
