I have been using the FITS brand of socks for cold weather. It is the heavy expedition model and is 100% Merino wool on the inside. Last extreme experience was in Alaska this October fly fishing with water temperature in the mid 30s. Very pleased with the warmth they provided even after hours of wading. They wick very well, and my feet were never damp.

Was going to order some for their wool content, but they only come in XS and Smokespoles Small.

This company makes them for men:

Have to wear out my new three-pack of Smartwool Mountaineers available in Huge.


Goin' alpaca for any border appropriation.

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
