If I fell out of a plane I think the first thing to cross my mind would not be, oh dear, it appears I am wearing cotton.

Re: Cotton T-Shirts
Nope it's best to be prepared, and after all if you've got all that posh kit, you want to show it off getting everyone to "look at me" as you trudge through the airport

If you are serious about being prepared people will look at you because you will be walking through the airport carrying a towel.

Presumably because grabbing a woman with bigguns is always the first thing on your mind?

Re: Cotton T-Shirts
When I read the thread title my radar start to ping but then when I read the op I was reassured...now we are one posting away from my original thoughts on where this thread would end up...

Re: Cotton T-Shirts
we were advised, I'm sure it was at school, that denim jeans were not good 'outdoor' wear ,when wet, due to being made from cotton - so presumably jeans & a cotton T-shirt are the worst combo...

Re: Cotton T-Shirts
I'm hoping to be a bit more active - joined this website thing. Live my life while I still can. Currently faced with a list that to me is way OTT, which is why I asked the question. I can understand, say, having first aid kit and whistle if you intend treking across a moor in bad weather, but a gentle stroll around the countryside? Hmmm. Which is my next mystery - why go out when the weather's really bad? Just asking for trouble.
Humans.

Re: Cotton T-Shirts
I think it is the fact that in the UK, weather can change quite rapidly - it is all about mitigating risk (imho).

I will then need to be wearing my combats, with all those extra pockets to make sure my 50K in crisp 50s can fit.
