For socks, underwear, T Shirts, etc. --- do any of you know if these "combination's of fabrics" are good for our bodies? I still prefer cotton and am frankly disappointed to find these are artificial fibers.

I'm not sure about the combination of fabrics used in Under Armour but I know it's the only thing my son buys. He's a police officer and he wears the t-shirts under his uniform. He says they keep him cooler. He buys the boxer underwear, too. He also wears the t-shirts to workout in. They have a whole line of clothes....and I know they're not cheap 'cos I bought some for him for Christmas a couple of years ago.
I've always thought cotton was the most breathable fabric and the healthiest thing to wear. Maybe that's just for women.....I don't know!
I tend to like nylon underwear because it's easier to get jeans and slacks up and down.
