Abstract
Polypropylene is often hailed as a superior fiber for underwear for winter sports activities because of low water absorption and good wicking properties. Experiments were performed on a sweating hot plate to try to discern any difference in heat loss through polypropylene and cotton underwear. Differences were noted but were too small to have any discernible influence on the thermal well-being of the wearer.
