New question here. Wool or Hydrowick?

Has any one compaired Hydrowick shirts to wool? I use Hydrowick all the time and was thinking that I shouold try some good wool to see if it realy does better, like drying and anti stink....
http://hydrowickshirts.com/ feels like cotton but is spun polyester micro fiber.

The wool I found looks good, but is it realy worth the money?

What I want to know is how it performs when full of sweat or rain.

Lanolin is the source of the antiseptic amino acids, so I will not use soap or hot water or dry cleaning, they will remove the lanolin. Then I thought of adding Lanolin to the Hydrowick....probly more troulbe than its worth.


Please Trolls do not attack me

I use wool in Orgygun. If I am really wet from rain or sweat, anything not wool will give me chills bad if I slow down or am waiting for someone. Wool doesn't always solve this, but does better. It is heavier and tends to feely fairly saturated when wet.
