Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I was at Target (pronounced tar-zhay) today and found wool/coolmax blend socks for $4.18 a pair. Semms like a better deal than the $12 a pair a Galyans. Link to post Share on other sites

BSA wool socks are $11.50 a pair. I was at Costco today and found an even better bargain. 75% Merino Wool sock, 3 pairs for $9 AND they had them in a size that would fit my son.

Proud Eagle 13 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Socks are about the one thing I am willing to completely ignore about the uniform. The cotton socks are no good for serious hiking/walking in boots, and aren't much use in extremely hot or very cold conditions. The ankle socks are totally useless. The knee socks look nice with sorts and help keep stuff off your legs but they are too tight on the calves and too thin on the foot. I have no experience with the BSA hiking socks. The stupid things came out after I had stocked up on good wool socks and poli liners. I thought about getting some of the BSA hiking socks just so I could stay uniformed when hiking, but I noticed the "wool" socks actually contain only a very tiny amount of wool according the last catalog I looked in. I don't expect I will be buying any of those anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites
