    Doubt there’s any bamboo in any of the bamboo products.

    Kathmandu merino socks are a bit pricey but last very well and are comfortable. Icebreaker is half price at Torpedo 7 at the moment. https://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Brian and Hunteast beat me to it. Their seconds shop is awesome if you're passing through Ashvegas. They make stuff for Swazi and Kiui... keui... kuioo... the fancy yank one with lots of vowels. Very reasonably priced when you see what they sell for normally.

    When I was young Mum used to cut the bottom out of her old stockings to put over our gumboot socks to make them last longer. I did it right through my meat hunting years.
    Funny the things we do without proof that it actually works. I just assumed it did 'cos Mum said so. Maybe it did.

    Heard about the ashvegas shop
    Stupid me too as all the times I could've gone there when I was working down south and coming home from nightshift every 4th week, I could've gone in there.
    Mind you I was always trying to get home for a sleep lol

    Wool all day man. Same as most things, buy once cry once. Decent wool socks last.
