Wader socks from candles are the same as the deluxe cold weather and they go above knee. Great socks., thick, and comfy

My girl just bought me a set of marino wool socks from REI. I have not taken them off in 3 days. Most comfy and warm things. Going to order me another pair.

I think I'd take 'em off long enough to take a shower anyways...LOL

Alloutdoors recommended a great sock; only addition to that would be a pair of their liner socks, the two together work great for me.

Ditto...........being from the the northern part of the country, I hunt in my fair share of cold weather. I have found that wearing a pair of polypro sock liners and a good quality pair of wool socks is the ticket.

A good boot is the second half of the equation. Muck boots (Woody Elite's) are great down to @ 20 degs. if I am sitting, below that it is Sorel pack boots.

You can Find 85% merino wool which is almost itch free and i never hunt without them. Rocky makes them but check the label for you can find them in all varying %'s of merino wool It is the finest hunting sock in my opinion.

Smartwool

Bass Pro Shops lifetime hunting socks are hard to beat.

I like Smartwool socks as well as the Under Armor socks.

Poser and others,

Help me settle a debate I have been having with myself.

Why should I spend more (twice as much) on Smartwool socks instead of just buying REI wool socks?

x3 I wear swiftwicks www.swiftwick.com They are not geared for hunters but the 7" "pursuits" are what I wear. I have worn them for 10 days straight at work with no odor at all. I have not worn them in bitter cold , but they work good down to the lower 30 degree range.

Also read about how they are made. They are Best quality in the industry.

I can't help you there. The in-laws get me a few pair of smartwools every year for Christmas.

You wore one pair of socks for 10 straight days or am I reading that wrong?

Yes. No odor, Merino Wool is naturally antimicrobial. I would not think of trying that with cotton.

I have bought a dozen merino wool socks from CamoFire.com for $4-6/pair (depending on the deal). They are made by Lorpen and you really can wear them for multiple days in a row. My wife even likes them.

It's the same with the Core 4 Element Merino wool base layers. They are incredibly warm and super thin. 100% merino wool.

Strangley enough, CamoFire.com has Merino Wool socks on right now. It's around 9:36 am EST and it will be going till 1:30 unless they sell out.
