nah but seriously I really don't see why synthetics are regarded sooooo highly, part of me feels it's been a clever marketing ploy (the touring equivalent of spandex for roadies (oops got into that aswell!
... and yes, I have ridden in both, but prefer cheap cotton... maybe because I don't mind getting sweaty... actually love being sweaty
In very cold weather I'm sure synthetic base layers under wool has many advantages, but for 3-season conditions I find cotton to be superior
