Thanks for the tip, that seems to be the choice of the
audience.

Without this positive feedback I would have been hesitant to try one
of those, since they use their own breathable technology (some of
those just don't work, and it's difficult to know beforehand).

It occurs to me that of all the things roff is good for,
(and some would maintain that roff is good for nothing ;-),
gear recommendations may be number-one. As a group we have
been ruthless with those who would commercialize this place
so everyone knows that the advice given here is honest and
unbiased.

When I meet roffians for the first time the most common
comment is not, as you would expect, "You're as big an asshole
in person as you are on roff", the comment I've received far
more than any other is "Thank you for recommending SmartWool
socks on roff. I bought a pair on your recommendation and I
can't begin to tell you how much I love those socks."

But I don't know, maybe folks are just being polite.
