In different environments, we should select different structures as well as materials of socks.
Climbing snowy mountains, skiing in extremely cold conditions, the material of socks must be based on wool and other warm fibers, using a thicker and tighter structure of terry. A pair of longer socks is necessary, even the knee length socks. And it is better to choose the socks which blend warm fiber such as THERMOLITE with wool, and less NYLON as well as LYCRA. In order to ensure the effect of perspiration, we¡¯d better not buy socks which are made of COOLMAX, but we can add one pair of liner socks which contain high content of COOLMAX.
Winter outdoor activities in low-lying areas, such as camping, crossing, etc. (except for ice climbing), you can use socks contain wool and high content of COOLMAX, the thickness and density of terry depend on the number of days and distance. If there is a special need for warmth, you can add a pair of thin liner socks that contain high content of THERMOLITE.
In the spring, summer and autumn, taking activities in low-lying areas, you can choose COOLMAX cotton socks. For a long distance, socks should contain more COOLMAX so that they can be easily taken care of. Conversely, you can use socks that contain less content of COOLMAX. Meanwhile, the structure of socks depends on the intensity of your activity.
