When you're outside, you want to wear cotton or synthetics so they can dry fast. This helped me 10 years ago when I broke through the ice on a stream in the Rockies while snowshoeing in February and found myself up to my chest in water. When I got out I jogged as hard as I could to build up body heat and was mostly dry by the time I made it the couple miles back to my car (except for my feet, my boots retained water inside).
