I’ve only ever worn two pairs of socks when wearing walking boots. Although that was years ago as boots these days are so much more comfortable. I wouldn’t think you wear them over another pair of socks. What is different then?I decided to pay a bit extra and buy thermal socks a few days ago. I have being trying them over the past couple of days and they seem to different to my other socks. Am I doing something wrong or are they supposed to go over another pair of socks?
I still wear two pairs of socks with trail or walking boots - the inner pair are thin liners to wick away any moisture while the outer socks are specifically for outdoor activities with multiple areas of varying thickness/support.I’ve only ever worn two pairs of socks when wearing walking boots.

There is no difference I am wondering why we paid the extra for thermal socks when there is no difference. Thought that maybe I was not wearing them like I was supposed to wear them.

Used to on the bike in the winter!If you bought thermal gloves would you wear two pairs?

Had handlebar muff's and heated grips as well 🤓
I wore thin gloves under my gauntlets when riding a bike.If you bought thermal gloves would you wear two pairs?
I suffer badly from cold feet no matter how much I move around and unfortunately with RA the issue is compounded. Quite a disappointment paying the extra for so called thermal socks, but zero difference. I do wear a vest or t shirt and can feel the difference on my chest so was expecting similar from thermal socks. Oh well at least they are comfy socks.There are so many types of socks that claim to be “ thermal” it’s a bit of a minefield knowing how and what to choose.
I have a number of pairs with high merino wool content. But are they better than alternatives? Cannot say.
For upper body ware in winter I use Thermocore shirts, warm but not bulky, and if really cold I wear a merino t shirt underneath.
Isn't ThermCore meant for cooling?There are so many types of socks that claim to be “ thermal” it’s a bit of a minefield knowing how and what to choose.

Thermal clothing won't generate heat, only reduce it's loss rate.I suffer badly from cold feet no matter how much I move around and unfortunately with RA the issue is compounded.

Well your rapid search needs widening to encompass other uses. I’m hardly likely to buy winter shirts for cooling. Since they don’t suffer cold in Hawaii the link doesn’t cover other applications. Similarly merino wool can be used for cold comfort or a wicking layer in warm weather.Isn't ThermCore meant for cooling?
"Our patent pending ThermoCore® technology is a novel, thermally-conductive polymer material with high heat transfer properties that maximize heat extraction from the wearer's body" https://19degreesn.com/pages/technology
That is my understanding as when I get out of bed, my feet are reasonably warm and I would like to keep them that way.Thermal clothing won't generate heat, only reduce it's loss rate.
I fully understand that insulation properties are useful in both hot and cold climates but "thermally-conductive polymer material with high heat transfer properties that maximize heat extraction from the wearer's body" implies cooling use only.Well your rapid search needs widening to encompass other uses.

Look at Rohan website for starters.
Your Hawaii site has patents pending for an “active “ cooling system using circulating fluid Hardly the sort of apparel worn to keep someone warm during winter in Britain. The Thermocore used by Rohan, snd siimilar cloths of hollow fibres (Alpkit, North Face etc) are designed for wear in colder weather conditions.I fully understand that insulation properties are useful in both hot and cold climates but "thermally-conductive polymer material with high heat transfer properties that maximize heat extraction from the wearer's body" implies cooling use only.
Don’t knock silver technolgy as it enables you to travel light without masses of underpants. One pair can do a minimum of four days as long as you wear them back to front and inside out. Although by then the dead day 1 bacteria allow you repeat the process. 😱🤣🤣🤣Amazing what clothing materials are available today. I remember some 30 years ago Berghaus came up with the very”special fleece”.
Googling Rohan they say a regular-fit shirt, with UPF40+ sun protection, DMC and Silvadur™ antimicrobial technology provides comfort and protection when you’re out exploring.
Strikes me half of these wonderful words are nothing short of scientific trivia for buy me I’m brilliant so will be expensive.😄😄
