Slightly off topic, but does anybody double up with their ski socks while on the slopes?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've had a pair of Falke (the thin ones, I think SK4) and they were nice (one sock never came back from St Anton, ah well...). However, I've found Bridgedale (a wool mix) to be much warmer, and just as comfortable (about the same thickness), so much warmer that I had to buy some other socks for warmer days.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thorlo? Welcome to 2010! They haven't been re-designed for years and are so far behind the likes of Smartwool, Falke, Wigwam and Teko.
If you get cold feet I like my Teko's as they are Merino and environmentally friendly. Same as Smartwool, but flat toe and Smartwool seems to be losing their quality.
I found my Falke's lost thier shape afer a number of washes, not to mention a little cold, maybe just me tho.
Has anyone tried Icebreaker socks? My friend sent two pairs back!

How fast do feet evolve ?
I'm happy with my Thorlo ones.

rjs, Simply design is very old and material are cheap compared to the other brands, that's all.

Jimmythefoot, well they're still doing the job I bought them to do however many years ago I bought them, without any wear and tear! That's good enough for me.

| Spyderman, as sold by the Pie Master. I liked them too, wish I didn't have to wear the poxy compression socks now. |
Indeed, you could always go for a pair of his Compression Boots.

Spyderman, luckily, when he supplied my boots, he knew that I didn't ski well enough to be a candidate for the more gangrene-inducing ones.

Love my Icebreakers! I like thin socks and the thin icebreakers are the warmest I've found. Also have Smartwool, X-socks and Falke (old) but they're in the for guests draw. X-socks are the least warm.

Your guests wear your old socks?

I've tried Smartwool, X-Socks, Falke and definitely prefer Falke out of them all the most. I prefer thinner socks anyway, they seem to fit the bill and are warm enough and comfortable.
