Btw while cotton dries slower than PE, or wool in any case, it also worth to note that moisture wicking doesn't mean just drying quickly. It means water absorption happen in such a way that it makes skin drier. Cotton regretfully absolutely doesn't do it. Its microthreads literally keep water around themselves (that's why it's called hydrophylic). While drying, water constantly redistributes itself around threads. So even slightly wet cotton textile touches your skin with water.

Yes, I understand that synthetics are hydrophobic and thus don't absorb water. I guess our personal preferences are biasing us - I live in a country that is hot, and so I prefer cotton as it absorbs sweat and cools down my body faster, where as synthetics just makes me feel like I am bathing in sweat and makes me feel hotter because it traps heat better (which is why it makes me really uncomfortable when exercising).
