Thousands of cyclists have died form wearing cotton before the so-called technical fabrics were invented
….I've worn cotton many times, it does get uncomfortable when wet and takes long time to dry but I am still alive....I do prefer technical fabrics but I am not against wearing cotton sometimes....Most cyclist don't ride in remote areas and extreme conditions long enough to risk hypothermia form wearing wrong choice of clothing. I am more concerned about distracted drivers then dying form hypothermia during my commute to/from work.
