hmm.. unless your beeswax/lanonlin'ed sock can be used to carry water - I think it's probably not the best vapor barrier. - will probably only serve to make your feet smell like
either honey, or a wet sheep..

So come to think of it - if you try it - go for the beeswax

Hi Fedex,

Didn't we meet on the LT this year? We compared Mariposa's just before you got to Jap peak.

I have a pair of the Integral Designs VB socks too, but I've never used them (yet). That should change in a few weeks.

They don't fit perfectly - there's like extra fabric - does that lead to any blister issues in cold weather, or is it just the way VB sock "fit".

thx,
