What's a better sock by a good measure than DT?

Boomer, good news on The Corona.

Won't do the REI one's. Poly type stuff makes me sweat something fierce, and I really dislike the feel of plastic against my skin.

The silk one's might be a workable item.

I think I'm going to keep looking for some merino ones ........................on sale...............big discount type sale..........

My merino long johns feel great, but they're getting old. Shirt is starting to get holes actually.

Enjoy the grind, you're a part of the economy bud.....................and helping to keep my SS check coming!

The last Riggs I bought were from Nicaragua.....not China than God.

I've looked for a good pair of USA made cargos, not recently though. Maybe someone knows of some. Tried a pair of the Duluth firehose pants, didn't hold up as well as the Riggs for me.

It’s just personal preference Boomer. I like a looser weave, I have two pair of wool socks I just love. Can’t find the name or remember or I’d buy more of them. I don’t like anything that constricts my toes one iota. The Dt’s do that right outa the gate for me.

I can like them as a winter dress sock here, but just not my faves for hiking, hunting etc.

I can get by with them, just not my faves

Good thing we only have to make ourselves happy w what gear we buy & use

Right on.

If we could only find some undies for Geno and convince ironheaded guy to try some good socks! LOL

Dungeness sells the USA made Carhart B01 seconds for $30, $36 shipped or free shipping over $50. Great companyin my experience. Wish it had the Riggs style cargo pocket but I am getting by....

Dungarees you mean? I think.

Smart Wool guy here, might try some of the brands mentioned in this tread, if they are good enough for Mr. Conrad they'll be good enough for me.

you dont change your socks everyday.......bob

You are a true rebel.... I salute you....

Nope, generally not unless I sweat a lot. They simply don't need it. Bacteria doesn't infect merino wool like other materials. Cuts down on the chance of the wife loosing them in the laundry, can't afford that chit!

Yah, damned spellchecker!

Big R in Billings has Darn Tough socks on sale right now for 25% off. Good deal.

A clean rifle and healthy feet are the primary tools of the warfighter. When I was in A & I w/ the 173rd in RVN I was informed in no uncertain terms by a scary old SMAJ w/ a Merrill's Marauders patch and 3 wars on his chest that doc will inspect every troops feet at least once/day no matter what.

Modern, premium boots are designed to enhance your performance and protect your feet. When working 40 hours a week on my feet I replaced my Lowa Desert Zephyrs every year, they were intact but the soles were worn and the cushioning was shot. Putting on a new pair was a huge improvement. Like running shoes, boots should be replaced frequently if used frequently. The old days of heavy leather norwegian welt boots that were resoled are, thankfully, a thing of the past if you choose to treat yourself. good boots and good socks make work or play better and are an investment in yourself.

The Great Canadian Sox Shop, has good socks

Old Jim Conrad fell for the oldest trick in the book.

Hey mister, wanna buy some socks? Make the wife wanna suck on your toes!

Give me two pair.


If I had a dollar.....

Jim, I have been using the bamboo fibre worksocks for the past few years as they are comfortable and they stop foot odour, they are also cheap and easy to replace from various ebay sellers.

Watch and weep, todays temps in Celsius...we haven't hit summer yet...still nice and barmy spring weather.

I broke a sweat reading that.

41 is plenty hot.
