Smartwool vs. UnderArmour socks?
If you had to buy one would you get the Smartwool Medium weight hunting socks or the Under Armour Cold Gear boot sock (not the thin sock)?

My cold weather sock set up for the Colorado mountains is theSmartwool socks over the thin poly pro liners. If your feet get cold from sitting, then insert the thin footwarmer pads.

Yeah I have both, they both keep my feet warm. I really dont have a problem with cold feet.The one thing I do know is any sock, wool,cotton,etc.. are worthless without a GOOD LINER!! IMO!

They both have wool, but the Smaertwool have more. The UnderArmour are 41% olefin and 41%wool.
Anyone know what olefin is?
Thanks
