Thanks, Unbound Merino! Newbies to the brand can get 10% off their first order. https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=34631&awinaffid=2208545&ued=https%3A%2F%2Funboundmerino.com%2F Merino wool. Intriguing! Synthetic clothing. Intriguing! Cotton. Wet! Today we are comparing Merino vs. Synthetic vs. Cotton. What is going on in there? We're looking at Patagonia's Capilene Cool, Unbound Merino, Proof 72-Hour t-shirt, and a cotton t-shirt from the brand Pompeii. Testing will look like such: First, we'll test the anti-stink properties of the three. Is Merino really that good at anti-stink? Is polyester THAT bad (yes). Then we'll swing on over to drying speed before plopping in a nice warm bath of strength testing.
