    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.

        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.
