How much does a pair of wools socks, say smartwools, add to warmth relative to thinsulate? Like is a 400g thinsulate boot with a pair of smart wool socks equivalent to wearing 600, 800, 1000g thinsulate boots without wools socks? I want to buy a warm pair of boots for stand hunting but I don't want them to warm that I can't use them other times of the year or when I'm walking. If wool socks had enough I can get by with slightly less insulation .
Thanks,
Joe
Sounds like you need boot mittens, or two pair of boots! Wool socks will help but setting for a long time sub freezing weather they won't suffice! I wear pack boots when really cold, I hunt the Cascade mountains, and Blue mountains of Oregon, and hike miles in the packs! What ever you do get the best quality!
