I am very happy with my alpaca socks. Still animal, not sheep. Don't know if that is an issue.
I wear Snap On socks every day, love 'em. Even though they are pretty warm, I'm sure there are warmer socks out there.I used to get snap on socks from my FIL when he had his truck. Not sure if they still sell them but they were pretty good.

Pricey, but made in the USA and worth it.How does your warranty work?
In a nutshell, if you wear a hole in them, we will replace them free of charge, for life. Our socks are guaranteed to be the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you can buy. If for some reason you are dissatisfied with your purchase, visit our Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee and fill out our online warranty form.
Why cant you wear wool over a pair of socks? Double up on the socks with an insulated pair of boots. And my feet get so hot I can wear jeans a medium sweatshirt and hat in all but the coldest of days.
I checked....unfortunately, they're wool.Find a really good local outdoor store in your area. They will sell the Darn Tough line. Not sure what of theirs is wool or not, but they are the best socks I've ever worn, better than Wigwams and Smartwools.

GlockJock, have you ever tried wearing merino? Like you, I just cannot wear wool against my skin. But a few months ago, for the first time ever, I bought a pair of merino boot socks. They're incredible. NO itch, no scratch, and merino has other laudable characteristics....I can't wear wool (skin allergies etc), but want to find the warmest socks I can for winter...BUT...they can NOT be WOOL....Any suggestions / thoughts?....Thanks
Darn Tough socks have a LIFETIME warranty if you can believe it.

They have a line "cool-max" or something like it which doesn't use wool.
Otherwise Alpaca wool socks will be the warmest you can find around commonly enough before getting into rare exotic wools.
i have a pair of winter snap on socks picked up 20 years ago when I tried thier branded boots. The boots where shit but the socks are still going 20 years now. They are not very heavy but serioulsy I only where them on the coldest of days whe out doors. Good boots go a long way.I wear Snap On socks every day, love 'em.

never purchase from REI they are anti 2a. You Shop at d icks too?A nice Pair of boots help
I wear a thin pair of poly blend skidoo and also have a pair of Klim socks and can ride in - temps

Correct ammundo. Merino Wool/Smart Wool doesn't itch due to its structure. I have several pairs of Merino Boot Socks. Can walk in them all day, no slipping, no blisters, warm and no itch.GlockJock, have you ever tried wearing merino? Like you, I just cannot wear wool against my skin.

Buy a pair and try them?
Yes, we are well beyond the point of where we better start standing shoulder to shoulder. We simply must be aware of who is with us and who is against us. REI is against us and non of us should ever darken their door.never purchase from REI they are anti 2a. You Shop at d icks too?
