[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look for 100% cotton, which can be a challenge to find. I do find it at resale shops in good shape. I stay way from anything polyester in the summer -- whether I am working out, or not. Wearing polyester/rayon blends is like wearing a greenhouse, and can cause rash lines from sweat along the bra line and underwear line. You need to let your skin breathe.[/quote]

We’re talking about clothing for exercise, not general summer apparel. Cotton is the worst thing you can wear for an outdoor workout in humidity.  Synthetic fabrics have come a long way and absolutely help those of us who exercise outdoors in humidity feel less uncomfortable.  I trained for a marathon here, in the summer, many years ago.  My cotton shirts were sodden by the end of my training runs, with sweat pooling in my shoes.  It was *awful*.

I agree with the pp- for shirts I prefer 100 percent cotton.  It is more breathable.  I get way more hot and uncomfortable in synthetic shirts.  And yes, I mean for exercising.
