Appreciation post: The debate over natural fabrics versus synthetics in activewear
I prefer cotton for breathability, but my gym buddy says polyester wicks sweat better. Which side are you on?

Pick polyester for high-intensity stuff, no question. It dries fast and doesn't get heavy like cotton can. I made the switch after a few gross, soaked cotton shirts at the gym. Cotton's comfy for cool-downs or casual wear, tho. For real, if you're dripping sweat, synthetics are the way to go. Your gym buddy is right about wicking, but breathability depends on the weave.

Polyester drying fast, like @luna_shah said, is key. It's part of why tech fabrics are taking over daily wear too.

My friend got drenched in cotton, now swears by polyester.
