As mentioned, most modern good hiking socks don't have 85% wool in them. Your leader is almost
certainly saying this to avoid the people who go and buy "wool" socks at wall mart that are mostly
cotton. I'd just buy a good quality sock like a smartwool you are comfortable with and not worry
about the number.
