No mention of wool? I swear by good old wool to keep me warm under my high-tech $400 rain jacket.
This past spring I had some flooding in my basement, some blankets got soaked so I hung them up to dry. One of the blankets was an old Hudson's Bay wool blanket, and after 5 minutes 99% of the moisture drained out into a puddle under the blanket. That's the awesomeness of wool, no synthetic fibre can do that.
