Extra Jeans 1


Jeans? Jeans in wet cold? Nein. Nyet. No. Don't. Nylon pants
from Dickie's (cheapest, pay more if you want a yuppie label) or poly
fleece. While it is not invariably true that 'cotton kills', it is
true that wet cotton is only good in hot weather when you _want_ to
chill down a bit. No cotton. No jeans. Forget about the existence
of cotton once the temps are below 70F. Wool is okay, but gets heavy
when wet. Poly fleece rules. Duofold and UnderArmor are good for
next to the skin.

Denim jeans have all the other problems of cotton in addition to being
thick enough that they're very heavy after absorbing moisture.
