Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Which material provides the most warmth even when wet?

Cotton

Wool

Wool is able to provide the most warmth even when wet because of its natural crimp and the ability to trap air within its fibers. Cotton, nylon, and polyester are all synthetic materials and do not retain warmth as well when wet. Cotton absorbs water easily and loses insulating properties when wet, nylon is not as warm and can also get waterlogged, and polyester does not absorb water but does not retain heat as well as wool.
