Mike Stark Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 You mention to layer with thin socks and not cotton? Why not cotton? Cotton will hold moisture and not allow it to be transferred from the skin. Putting non-breathable plastic bags over the non-cotton socks ultimately puts you right back at cotton socks. Cotton looses all its insulating qualities when wet. Wool and synthetic fabrics will still retain some of their heating qualities when wet. Cotton kills.
