I can agree with others that I prefer natural materials over synthetics for breathability alone, though I haven't found a favorite yet. Maybe it's just my imagination, but on the jackets I've had with a synthetic slippery sleeve lining I always feel like my arms get too warm after a while... meanwhile on my jacket that has a full cotton liner including the arms, they feel fine. I've been trying to look for a cotton satin that has that same kind of texture for the best of both worlds.
I've been going back and forth on giving Lost Worlds a try but I'm not sure on having a full nylon liner, and the alternatives are probably another huge upcharge. Although from what others have said it's supposed to be really good.
Anyone ever given linen or hemp a try? Supposedly tougher than cotton and still very breathable, though they both tend to get wrinkly so I'm not sure how they would look, maybe best for a lighter jacket.
