Is it true that wool retains its insulating warmth when wet better than cotton does?
Yes. A peer-reviewed study measuring heat loss found that wet cotton loses roughly 30% more heat than wet wool and adheres to the body about three times as much, indicating wool retains insulating warmth better than cotton when wet.
