In this video, I try to answer a simple, decades-old question: Does cotton kill? Because from my own experience, I've noticed that cotton clothing doesn't actually feel that much worse compared to synthetics. In this video, I compare a full cotton setup with a full synthetic setup to understand which one is warmer, which one dries quicker, which one absorbs more sweat, and so on. ▼ HIKING PRINTS (MADE BY ME & MY WIFE) Hiking trail posters ➜ https://trailgoals.com/ (10% discount code: oscarhikes) Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/trail.goals/ ▼ GEAR I USE AND RECOMMEND (some are affiliate links) Outdoor Vitals Ultralight Backpack ➜ https://alnk.to/esZaRo4 Outdoor Vitals Quilt ➜ https://alnk.to/6IHPHv9 Sea to Summit Sleeping Bag Liner ➜ https://amzn.to/4nsNreU Nemo Tensor Insulated Sleeping Pad ➜ https://amzn.to/4nJt9Or Decathlon Foam Sleeping Pad ➜ https://www.decathlon.com/products/backpacking-foam-folding-mattress-trek-100-174619 Trekology Pillow ➜ https://amzn.to/3I56BIE Katadyn Befree Water Filter ➜ https://amzn.to/3KgAsOM Titanium Spork ➜ https://amzn.to/4mboYtw Titanium Pot ➜ https://amzn.to/3JOEqye Lightload Towels ➜ https://amzn.to/4d9Ikuo Decathlon Trekking Poles ➜ https://www.decathlon.com/collections/hiking-camp-accessories/products/hiking-pole-arpenaz-200 Swiss Army Knife ➜ https://amzn.to/3JSTjj3 Darn Tough Socks ➜ https://amzn.to/3GJnnsm Brynje Mesh Base Layer ➜ https://www.brynjeusa.com/ref/16/ Alpaca Wool Hoodie ➜ https://www.pakaapparel.com/products/alpaca-hoodie Marmot Rain Jacket ➜ https://amzn.to/4ni0a3M Decathlon Down Jacket ➜ https://www.decathlon.com/products/simond-mt100-hooded-down-puffer-jacket-167571 Outdoor Vitals Sunshirt ➜ https://alnk.to/gVNMAPI Headlamp ➜ https://amzn.to/48aNVlg Power Bank ➜ https://amzn.to/3Va7qCR Thermometer ➜ https://amzn.to/3JWYmyM COROS NOMAD GPS Watch ➜ https://coros.avln.me/c/tRsMSBkbLjzs (get a free extra band with discount code "OSCARHIKES"!)
