Gore-Tex or Gabardine?
When mountaineers discovered the frozen body of George Mallory high on Mt. Everest in 1999, they found the long-deceased climber dressed in many tattered layers of silk, cotton and wool beneath a gabardine shooting jacket. Perfect for the conditions, say some modern researchers.

I find myself relying more on natural-fiber clothes for bicycling. I've always liked wool, but now I'm also starting to wear seersucker shirts instead of synthetic jerseys. Silk seems like a nice idea, though!
