Marines Discover Synthetics Suck
The USMC has noticed that synthetic fabrics are horrid, in this case because they can melt to the skin. Natural fabrics like wool, linen and cotton simply singe. Natural fabrics also breathe better. Wool is warm when it’s cold, cool when it’s hot and wicks away moisture. Linen is sturdy an cool. Cotton’s a bit useless (typically hot when it’s hot out and freezing when it’s cold), but has the advantage of being cheap. Natural fibres are renewable and sustainable; synthetics are produced by using oil.
Remind me again why anyone would ever use a synthetic fibre? Oh yeah: brain damage.
