Gotta be waterproof imo

If its rainy i wear an veteran pair of sealskinz that arn’t quite waterproof any more but still resist most splashes, otherwise i use the spesh team issue socks, i find them a bit thicker than some so theyre a good 3 season sock.
Though i’ve bought a pair of fox race socks for the rare hot day, they havnt seen use yet though.

Liked the Endura Merino socks but they only lasted about a year. Also got the Alpkit ones and they have been ok so far, not a long term test though so cannot comment on durability. Had some great Merino socks from ON-ONE a few years ago, 3 pairs for a tenner, wish they’d do them again.

aldi for me as well

in winter I layer up

Normal “sport” socks or if its a hot day then those free norco ones from mbuk a few years ago seem a bit cooler and don’t get too sweaty.

People seriously wear sealskins regardless of the weather ? Id rather wear no socks than sealskinz most of the wear – like putting a pair of cardboard boxes on your feet then into a pair of plastic bags – which incidently works really well to keep feet dry at puffer – much comfier than sealskinz

Sealskinz when it’s wet (knee length ones are great in the foulest whether combined with 3/4 length trews). Endura otherwise, lightweight or thermo ones depending on temperature.

Amazed at people complaining socks only last a year, a year is a long time in the life of a mountain bike sock.

Assos Winter Plus – when cold, expensive but worth it.

Assos Skin Web – Super thin, very well fitting.

Defeet Aireators – not bad, get a bit warm in them though.

Giro High Rise – Super comfy, good looking summer sock.

Since I ride in my Cat boots, Trespass Merino ones work well.

But the Mrs works there, so it’s all half price.

Not helpful at all.
