Never heard of this story, I don't know if it's true but it doesn't seem too logical to me.

I'm going on an overnight snowshoeing trip tomorrow, and i'm only taking Wigwam's "40 Below" wool socks. I'll keep everyone posted. Although I've tried different kinds of socks and fabric blends over the years, i'm starting to think that only thick wool socks have the ability to keep my feet DRY. Many other socks keep my warm, but not necessarily dry.

Have a great week-end !
