The Warmest Drysuit Socks

[Rick Inman]

If you dive in water in the 30's and 40's fahrenheit, and your feet stay toasty warm, tell us what socks you use.

Yeah, I know that the best way to keep your feet warm is to keep your core warm. But, that aside, I am on a search for the warmest drysuit sock that can be bought or made. I'm not talking about some comfortable 55F+ dives, I'm talking ice cold water.

I found THESE and THESE, which I am considering.

Any thoughts?

Thinsulate. Fleece sucks, and so does neoprene.

DC and DUI make good Thinsulate socks, and I hear the Weezle booties are downright toasty.

I just got these:

Bare Drysuit Booties

Now my feet will stay toasty warm!

200g booties. Good for the nice mild water out there on the west coast, a little to cold for my tooties when I ice dive though. (water temp was around 33deg F)

Just called Underwater Sports to get a price on these, and the guy suggested the USIA socks. (20.00 less)

Opinions??

Cheap Thinsulate knockoff insulation?

Hm.

Rick-

I wear some toasty socks from a company called "Wyoming Wear". I'm diving balmier waters (52-56 deg F) than you're going to be in, but they work great for me and maybe they will for you.

Fleece does *not* cut it in cold water..
