Never thought I'd see the day when I turned away from natural fibres, but that day has arrived. Coolmax! I can wear long sleeve coolmax shirts to stay cool, dry &sunblocked in the tropics, to stay dry in cold &wet climates, to stay comfortable during races in sun or rain (I'm a racewalker, marathons being my fave) &to keep feet dry all the time. And the stuff dries fast when you wash it along the way when you're traveling, so you can pack lighter. It comes in mostly in knit fabrics.
