I am getting back into backpacking recently as it has been nearly 10 years since I have gone. Fore reference I will be backpacking in the mounains of Virginia in the George Washington and Jefferson national forrests for starters. I have hit a snag in my selection of socks. It is my understanding that a person wants 2 socks (for the most part) one thin sock for the foot iself and another thicker sock for padding outside of that. In reasearching things I understand that the main concern is whether the sock is made from hydrophilic or hydrophobic fibers. If I am wearing a pair of Saloman Mission GTX light boots (my pack is about 20lbs) for a 3 day hike which socks should I lean toward for summer and winter wear? I currently have some poly/acrylic thick sports socks which will repel water nicely, should I combine those with some wool to add a wicking ingridient to the mix?
