No, it isn’t as breathable. However, the anti-bacterial properties of hemp make it an attractive option if you want a material that masks smells.

Hemp is breathable, and it wicks moisture away from your body. You stay cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold. Cotton is breathable and naturally wicks some, but it holds onto smells and moisture longer. So, pretty much a tie, but hemp wins imo.

When comparing cotton and Hemp in terms of wicking and breathability, it is discovered that Hemp has higher anti-bacterial characteristics than all the other natural fibers, including cotton. Hemp is intensely resistant to mold, rot, and mildew. It is such a breathable fabric that absorbs moisture away from the body.

No, it is quite the contrary and a main reason why people prefer cotton to hemp clothing. Although, hemp is much more durable and not as absorbent.
