FIBER TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FEET HAPPYFiber Technology Fiber technology is an excellent way to find out how to keep your feet dry and happy. So let's cover some of the well known fibers right now.
Cotton This natural fiber is soft and absorbs easily absorbs moisture. Do not use cotton for camping or hiking, your feet won;t be happy. The only way I would recommend using cotton is if you layer it away from the skin Cool Max As fiber technology goes, cool max is fairly recent and has wide spread use. Cool Max is synthetic in nature and is specially made to wick away perspiration from your feet. Cool MAx is able to provide breathability when wet which makes it an excellent choice.
