Are Ski-socks suitable for boots.... do they dry quick enough... or what suggest you?

Me? I decide for myself, in much the same way as I decide which way around to wear my underpants. It's not a 100% reliable method, I grant you.

I go with D6 - Sealskinz socks are the answer

I bought a couple of pairs of motorcycle socks from [URL="http://www.traveldriplus.com/index.php?cPath=38&osCsid=7466f71939c34affe801fb6fcb02847c"]TRAVEL DRI[/URL] ( Les) at the hogroast, they were the old style on special offer about £6 a pair .

Long socks, with muscle support in the calf and they don't make your feet sweat. And they really work.

If you are looking for non waterproof winter socks, then I can recommend the BMW long boot socks. They are knee length, very stretchy, very comfy and warm.
About £13 per pair from your local Motorrad dealer.

And why would you need waterproof socks in bed. Unless we have a 'Damping-down' problem i suppose.

Thanks for the info - pair of Sealskinz ordered!

I use Oxford Thermals, two pair out of HG for about £10.
Thick, plenty of muscle support, warm as slippers.........Great.
Have to say, I fancy the Sealskinz. mmmmm

Costco...

... was selling Merino wool socks at Christmas time, I think they were around a fiver a pair, not high enough but VERY warm, and dry up very fast!!!

+1 for sealskinz expensive but cheaper than buying new boots plus they keep you warm and dry.

One of the best pieces of kit I have bought.

REally disappointed

Paid for my Sealskins on 26th Jan from Cape Town..... arrived here in LOndon to collect....... and was surpised by.... absolutely buggerall!!!!!

They did not arrive.

Been trying to contact the supplier (don't know whether to name & shame)... left phone messages & email... no reply.

Finally got an email yesterday.... so sorry no stock! ........ funny though that the funds were quickly deducted from my card on the same day i placed the order.........

now they tell me no stock.... 7 - 10days to wait... I leave again on Saturday!


will have to what's at EXCEL today!

A bit off topic, but do you guys not wear gortex boots? Then you dont have to worry about your socks being waterproof

Yep - I now have a pair of the Adventure Goretex boots! - so really not that worried about getting the sealskinz - HOWEVER, they do not reply to any of my messages to get a refund... and now I get "invalid email address" messages from their mail server?

If I have not had a response from them by Wednesday (they also don't answer their phone) - I will name & shame to protect others from the possibility of being scammed... I'm also sure that they do not want to mess with some of the UKGSer tossers
