what you call cold and what I call cold is most likely very different, Fox river has good merino wool with primaloft socksLooking for some opinions on the best cold weather hunting sock, merino wool, boot cut. Are there any new products or tried and true brands that stand out from all the others?
Also best liner sock?
These have been my go to when it gets bitter cold, little awkward to walk long distance inDarn Tough is a solid rec...the secret is out though. High quality Merin, end of story.
I'm a big fan of wearing a liner sock. Much more added warmth than you'd think and great sweat and friction control for lots of walking. (15 mile days sometimes)
If you are contemplating serious cold (single digits or colder) or a really sedentary hunt, skip the insoles and thick socks and go directly to a pac boot. There's nothing in the world like them when it's just ***-chapping cold. My favorites are these:
Extreme 13"
Explore Schnee's Extreme 13" Pac Boots, built for extreme cold and snowy conditions. With 1000g of insulation and a hand-laid rubber bottom, these boots ensure warmth down to -40°F. Ideal for ice fishing, hunting, and winter outdoor activities.schnees.com
Deodorant or deodorant with anti-perspirant? Deodorant by its self does not prevent sweating. Just asking.But the secret sauce with my feet is applying scent free deodorant all over my foot before putting on the socks. It sounds goofy, but it really keeps them from sweating, which is vital to staying warm.
My regiment of deodorant, silk liner, Wool-X sock and Dry Shod Arctic's have kept me in a treestand with temps in the 20's and a stiff north wind all day. And that wouldn't have happened 5-6 yrs ago.
