An Actual Cold Weather Review, From Antarctica.
I have to start off by stating that this review is not really the usual case for people who would wear these socks.
I was more than a little disappointed in how these socks performed. I have some basic "got them in a 6 pack for half the price" wool socks that actually keep my feet warmer.
So, a little while ago we had a flight coming in from off continent. It was -60F out and everything was freezing up. Including the plane... and my feet. Now, the day before I was out there as well in my "got them in a 6 pack for half the price" pair of wool socks at -55F and my feet got a little cold. I put these on expecting to be at least a little warmer. Oh man was I wrong. My feet were ice blocks by the end of 3 hours.
The only reason I can think of is because of how darn thick they are. My cheap socks are thin enough that there is plenty of space between my feet and the wall of the boots. These are so thick that they fit snugly. Seeing as I'm not wearing these all the time, they just won't work for me. I'm not going to keep a second pair of boots around that are a size bigger just for these socks.
The one redeeming part of them is that they make good slipper socks for walking around the dorms. I'm afraid that I simply can NOT use them outside in these temps.
