Cotton- 5 Deadly Reasons To Avoid It
Cotton is the fabric of choice in the western world. It is comfortable, light, and inexpensive. When tasked in a survival situation it can become downright deadly and here is why:
- When wet cotton loses all insulating properties. Hypothermia is the leading cause of death in survival situations and cotton is a major contributor.
- Once wet cotton dries much slower than synthetics or wool. Clothing that doesn’t dry only exacerbates hypothermia.
- Tight fitting and wet cotton can actually cause the body to lose more heat than bare skin due to the increased surface area of the fibers.
- Cotton offers little UV protection. In some survival situations you might find yourself exposed to long periods in direct sunlight. UV can penetrate the cotton and quickly burn your skin. Polyester, nylon, silk, and wool are much more effective.
- Cotton holds many times its own weight in water. If you fall through ice it can be enough extra weight to drag you down. At best your heavy wet clothing will be uncomfortable.
When choosing clothing you have to rely on in a survival type situation modern synthetics do a much better job at keeping you warm and dry. If you prefer a natural fabric, wool is an excellent alternative that doesn’t lose it’s insulating properties when wet.

This is all false. Cotton is the best fabric you can sleep with and wear. Why is it that all of your clothing hardly contains any cotton? Because what is good for the body, is not your privilege to wear. This is the control factor. Now go to Bed Bath and Beyound and try to buy a 100% cooton blend balnket or towel? Check out the ridiculous PRICE! Why so expensive if it is so bad for your health? BS article
You forgot to mention that those synthetics you wear if you are in a fire, like a plane crash they will burn and MELT INTO YOUR SKIN!
That is why experts recommend when you travel to wear cotton aboard a plane, etc. It doesn’t burn as easily as those PLASTIC SYNTHETICS!
why do you think middle eastern people where cotton robes? it is known to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. this article is false
Humbug. Besides being so 70s, I’m allergic to polyester. Can’t wear the stuff. By the same token, I can’t wear synthetic shoes. They make me sweat, stink and suffocate in the heat.
Key: Keep extra sets of cotton unders in the bugout bag, so if they get wet — change!
We rejected polyester once, we should do it again. But then, all those guys who were protecting our “way of life” will have died in vain. Polyester is a petroleum product as well as all the other plastics. I certainly can do without this particular “way of life.”
