Wool for warmth even wet

[wnchstrtnfldvlle]

While on the subject, get some de-scaled wool socks as well. Cool in summer and warm in winter. More comfortable than cotton and they don't hold moisture. Smartwool is among the best I've used. I use them for everyday around the house, cycling, half marathons and 10k road races. Great stuff.
Darn Tuff (Tough?) socks are pretty good too, and have a lifetime warranty. Smartwool is a touch better though.

I switched to the smartwool sock for field problems. My feet would sweat in the middle of winter they were so warm!

I love wool socks. I wore running shoes and wool socks in the snow last year and my feet were hot.

Costco usually sells 3 packs of wool socks in the fall for only about $12. They aren't as good as the REI light hiker, but for 1/3 the price, they hold up to daily wear very well. I wear them year round.

good tip. I am a huge fan of wool socks. Just don't tell Laufen cuz I like to make him think I won't wear anything but cotton
