As the title says, I'm looking for some thin moisture wicking socks for under my drysuit. I currently wear lavacore socks underneath my compressed neo socks. Problem is, my feet sweat profusely (I sweat through the lavacore and my feet were freezing). So thoughts, opinions, recommendations, etc
 
Any socks made for Skiing should do the job well.
 
LL Bean Cresta socks, pick your weight.
 
Guess what Santa's buying you for Xmas. 4th Element socks - and I'll foot the bill :)
 
If your feet are cold you need more insulation, not less. I understand the sweat makes you cold, but still you need more insulation from the cold water. I would say go to a thick sock and an actual 400g bootie inside your drysuit, ditch the neo socks (Although I am not sure exactly what they are, compression is never a good thing, and neo doesn't breathe) ten get a shoe that works for you.

I have to agree with the fourth element socks...for $35 you can't hardly beat them. I have a pair and they work great!
