Same here. And many of those who do bring poles, leave them behind after a few days. If you're reasonably fit and avoid over-packing your backpack, poles are not necessary.
Tencel (viscose from wood fibers) is a fairly quick-drying option if you want to avoid both wool and polyester. It is also very soft and comfortable, and you avoid that synthetic feeling of polyester. I wear tencel underwear, but for T-shirts I still prefer merino wool.
