Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ultralight socks
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm in need of some new socks, and having unfortunately landed myself with new boots last season which are a little tighter than ideal I want to get some very low volume socks. In addition to being quite snug, the boots are also very warm, so I'd like a sock that doesn't try to keep my feet any warmer.

FWIW this is for snowboard boots not ski boots.

I'm eyeing up the Burton Ultralight and Stance Backcountry socks.

Anyone have any knowledge of how these compare? Or indeed any other sock recommendations?

Silk socks might be a good option - I don't think they'd need to be very fancy.

Bought a pair of these in resort with a similar problem but for skiing not boarding, they are v low volume, thinner than most everyday socks and have no padding or insulation. https://www.glideslide.co.uk/16847/products/mico-1640-x-race-ski-sock-azzurro-blue.aspx

Decathlon sell silk socks super cheap and brilliant I use them and they have lasted very well, wash and dry super quick.

Smartwool ultralight phd socks - great at regulating foot temps, without any bulk.

I've never had sweaty feet from these even with zipfits Toofy Grin

Thanks for all the tips. Seems like silk socks is the most extreme option so will start there and see how I get on.

@Adam123, I had the same dilemma last year, purchased a pair of falke sk5 socks and were perfect, ultra thin but also very warm. Was happy with them so purchased a second pair. They are expensive but with a bit of searching I got them for about £30 each.
