A compromise — #16 of 31 Cotton ranks #16 of 31 fabrics for excessive sweating. It is a middling fabric for this. Ranked on breathability and moisture handling, penalised for weight. The top pick is Merino.
Cotton measures 75/100 for breathability, 8% moisture regain, 35/100 warmth, at 160 gsm. For excessive sweating, high breathability and limited moisture absorption decide comfort — and its low warmth avoids trapping heat against the skin.
