So I was at the store and saw these Columbia wicking/warming socks, and was wondering if anyone's tried anything like this under their drysuit (Columbia or otherwise)?

Right now, I just use wool socks, but my feet have been getting cold towards the end of some of my colder dives..

Janice (from Softwear) sells polartec sox. When I ordered her undies for my wife, I bought some extra pairs and LOVE them.

BOOMX5 (I think it was him) posted a link to a company that makes real polartec sox - you know, over the calf with a cuff (?!) at the top. Real foul weather stuff. If I remember, Janice's were a lot cheaper, but I like the design of the ones Boomer put up. Maybe you can PM him and get the link.

Cool, I'll probably order some of those from Janice then.

I might grab some of the thinner socks I saw and maybe try them underneath..

My feet get real cold, right now I'm sitting at my desk with socks on and my feet are cold, and it doesn't even snow here..

It might tonight if the decimated Lakers put the wood to Excramento...

Anything's possible, heh

The Kings are on a streak, and the Lakers aren't doing too bad without their 3 best players, too

;)

I was just looking at Polartec socks in the Lands End catalog. They look toasty!

Don't ya hate it when your socks crawl down & lump up in the ends of your boots?
Just 2 wraps of 3/4" masking tape way far down on the ankle over the socks & they stay in place for those 12 hour long dives.
 
Don't know who has Fleet Farm stores in their area, but they have fleece socks that are nice and probably cheaper than other places.
