Wool isn’t *the worst* by a long shot, but it’s definitely not flawless. Sure, it’s great for insulation, wicks moisture, and some types (like merino) resist odors—*The Atlantic* even called it a “smart” choice for warmth without sweating. But it’s not magic. Wool can be itchy, needs careful washing, and isn’t exactly space-efficient. Reddit users note it’s “fragile” compared to cotton, and some swear by synthetic alternatives for durability. That said, dismissing wool as *inferior to all other clothing* feels overly harsh. It’s situation-dependent: great for cold weather, less so for hot climates or casual wear. The real issue is overgeneralizing—materials each have pros/cons. If you’re into wool, it’s solid; if not, synthetics or cotton might suit better. No need to hate on wool, but don’t expect it to be a one-size-fits-all solution.
