Best piece of gear.......period

[dreamunelk]

I will add Lorpen socks to my list. 

Not sure I have had a blister, an irritating fold, or an annoying seam in the past five years since making the switch to Lorpen.  Wife thinks I'm crazy for having one drawer dedicated to $400 worth of hunting socks, but it just may be my finest hunting apparel investment.

Love Lorpen socks too I have several! 

What name or style of Lorpen socks to you guys recommend?

We should compile a top 10 list style gear guide... guns, jackets, tents, boots, blades, packs, binos..... Ya know that kind of stuff

Just an idea

Irish Setter boots, 200 thinsulates, use them for the early and late season.  Always keep me dry and feel great on my feet.  Next in line would be my Cabela's Euro 10x42 binocs.

i like the idea but i think peoples usage varies so much it woudnt work.
some people prefer a robust knife, where i wouldnt want to carry something so "heavy"
alot of people would scoff at my pack and sleeping bag budget, maybe they cant justify that for their usage...

Exactly, I have tried stuff that others have said was "the best" but it just didn't work for me or my style of hunting.  Plus fit and comfort are such variables for every hunter it would be hard to compare apples to apples.

 For hunting, I would have to say the Swaro's
For hiking/hunting it would be my Exped sleeping pad

Take your pick!  They have a sock for just about every situation and every temperature you intend to hunt.  I've never worn a pair out while in my boots.  But I did wear out a pair of the Primaloft in one day using them as slippers as I scurried around the dirty lodge in WI on the day we could not get out.  In a good pair of boots they will last years if not a decade.

The "Work & Tactical" category socks are much more durable and lower tops.  I wear them hunting in temperatures 30-50 degrees.  The hikers are what I wear during most of early archery season.  Moreno won't last as long and though it does keep from getting stanky I tend to shy away from Moreno in hot weather. I do wear them in crossover temperatures though.  For OMG cold and late season comfort I'm crazy for both the Skinny Jim and Thermolite liners.  They wrap my foot like I painted them on, yet they don't give me that cramped toe feeling.  I run knee highs during the late and cold season.  I do like the HEL, but I have three other ones that seem equally as warm and the Primaloft might be even a touch warmer if your boot fits loose.

The first set of Lorpen I tried was a gift from a co-worker called the CWSS "Cold Weather System Sock".  It is a wool liner and cold weather sock all in one package.  You basically pay for pair of socks and get a pretty darn good liner for free.  Not a bad way to go if you want to find out what Lorpen comfort is all about without dropping $25 for one pair.

If I had to pick just one that I like best...probably the HEL with a Thermolite liner.  But...I have yet to buy a Lorpen sock I did not like!
