Winter Socks
I like Wool socks for Winter hiking. The question is, which one? Ragg Wool, Wool blend or something else. Which one is warmer or last longer?
darn Tough hike socks!!!!!!! they got the cushion for the pushing
Smartwool mid-weight merino socks are also good. Rag socks, not. I avoid socks with less than 75% wool.

Fox River makes a solid wool sock, that I bought cheaply at a farm supply store, for a fraction of what the out fitters charge. Probably worth a visit to the farm store for outer wear stuff. I found that sock liners helped keep my feet dryer. The best sock liners I found were Bauer made for hockey players.
