I wonder how they compare to wool in the real world, away from marketing land?
What are they like when your socks inevitable get wet regardless?
What are they like for drying out over a small fire while wearing them as mitts?

I can get 75% merino wool, 23% nylon, 2% spandex dress socks at Sears for $5/pair. 1 ounce for the pair. They are very nice when worn alone, or under a pair of real wool socks, 100% wool hand knit ski socks.
