>>2314146As for brand, I'd suggest smart wool, not because I'm a shill but because they are good quality so last a bit longer and more importantly they are something like 70% wool, 30% nylon, whereas most other wool socks are a bullshit blend of 60% wool, 15% polyester, 10% elastane, 5% Pakistani child hair. I have a strong suspicion elastane is really slow to dry as all my stretchy fleece takes much much longer to dry than 100% polyester fleece (with the tradeoff being that stretchy fleece stays closer to your skin so is more efficient and can be dried by body heat)
Nylon blends in wool socks aren't the end of the world, they still resist smell fairly well. The nylon is warm and smells much less than polyester and gives a huge improvement to the wool for durability and drying time. A decent sacrifice. Plus 100% wool socks are really fragile unless very densely woven (=colder), felted or naalbinded, and very rare/usually expensive. Loose rag wool socks are GOAT for sleeping and camp though.
