Warm Outdoor Sock – Web Foots Body Socks

I wore the Body Sock many days before I washed it as I wanted to check out the antimicrobial claim about resisting body bacteria and not allowing body odor to develop. I could never detect any body odor at all which is a highly plus feature for the traveler to the bush.-Dunc

The Carol Davis Sportswear catalog has this to say about their Web Foots Body Socks. Initially custom designed for hunters in cold climates, this suit is also ideal for anyone who works or plays in the cold. From cold-weather sports enthusiasts to those working in the construction and trade industries, or simply for people who like to be outdoors, Web Foots Body Socks will keep you very warm and comfortable under cold conditions. The company claims that the fabric will wick moisture away from the skin as well as resisting normal skin bacteria. The fabric is 70% polyester, 23% nylon and 7% Lycra. The catalog goes on to say; Web Foots Body Socks and Socks are made from a heavy-weight, durable, nylon spandex face, with a non-pile, polyester velour back. Style 1-Web Foots Body Socks have a two-way front zipper as well as a zippered rear flap. Style 2- Web Foots Body Socks have no rear flaps but do have thumb holes and stirrup feet.

In early April, I spent a highly successful day trout fishing on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. There was a foot of newly fallen snow. As the sun rose the thermometer read eight degrees Fahrenheit. The day was cold and windy and I was wading in a lake that was mostly covered with ice. Underneath my chest waders I was wearing Style 2 Web Foots Body Socks. I was oblivious to the foul weather around me. I also tried out Web Foots Body Socks in rainy, windy Southeast Alaska while filming bear hunting for James Boyce this spring. They were most comfortable and kept me warm even though there was a cold wind much of the time. Do keep in mind that Web Foots Body Socks are not waterproof. Of particular note is that zippers, are placed everywhere where there should be one - a much appreciated feature. Even when climbing in the most difficult steep and nasty terrain there was total body freedom.

On one unusually nasty day I was dressed with jogging pants, overalls, long sleeve shirt, a wool shirt and a light coat plus a full length heavy duty raincoat. Sitting on the stern of a large boat I was cold waiting for a bruin to show. I decided to put on my Web Foots Body Socks and I remained very comfortable for the balance of the day. My final conclusion is that Web Foots Body Socks are most desirable for anyone that recreates or works under cold or foul weather conditions. I also tried out her Web Foots Socks while filming in Southeast Alaska this spring. I was wearing Xtra Tuf rubber boots which are noted for being cold. Sometimes one sits for hours in the wind and the rain while waiting for a bear to show up. All this adds up to being cold and miserable.

I tried wool socks as well as regular socks and my feet were usually cold. With wool socks my feet were warmer but as the day would progress my feet became colder and colder. On one particularly miserable day I decided to wear Web Foots Socks. I am happy to report that my feet stayed comfortable for several hours while sitting and watching for brown bears. Eventually even with Web Foots Socks my feet became cold, but I do suffer from poor circulation in my feet thanks to being a class 11 diabetic.
