I tested some of the most expensive hunting socks and some of the cheapest to find out what is warmest and what is worth paying for. In this review I dry tested and wet tested heavy duty winter hunting socks from Darn Tough, First Lite, Smartwool, Wigwam, Cabela's, and Lincoln Outfitters. These socks are the thermal base layers for your feet and were partly or mostly merino wool or other wool, some were boot socks and some were over the calf.

Below are the socks I tested, or the closest modern equitant I could find:

* Cabela's Medium Boot Socks - 20% Wool: cabelas.xhuc.net/qnRNRN
This experiment didn't include late season electric heated socks, since those cannot get soaking wet. The goal is to keep your feet warm while spending as little as possible by finding out what really works. Whether you are hunting deer, ducks, geese, turkey, pheasant, waterfowl, etc, when you have super cold weather, you need extremely effective socks you can depend on.
