What type of clothing is recommended to prevent hypothermia in cold, wet weather while hunting?

Cotton layers only
Lightweight and insulating materials
Waterproof garments only
Multiple layers including water-repellent and insulating fabrics

The correct answer is: Multiple layers including water-repellent and insulating fabrics

Wearing cotton layers only (option A) can actually increase the risk of hypothermia as cotton absorbs moisture and dries slowly, making you feel colder. Lightweight and insulating materials (option B) can provide some warmth, but without waterproofing, the clothing may get wet and make you more prone to hypothermia. Waterproof garments only (option C) may keep you dry, but they do not provide insulation which is crucial for staying warm in cold weather. The best option is to choose multiple layers including water-repellent and insulating fabrics (option D), which provide both protection from moisture and insulation to retain body heat, reducing the risk of hypothermia.
