I wore wool socks through the hot humid summers of Manitoba and hot humid summers in Australia. Wool breathes ... it breathes better than bamboo. It also dries much quicker than bamboo.
I used to find the socks I like in the women's department. They're small dress socks ... cashmere and wool blend. They are very lightweight, soft, comfortable, and quick drying.
Sadly, it is really hard to find anything like those here in Australia. And it seems I can only get them in Canada if I'm there at a certain time. There seems to be very small a window of opportunity now. So most of mine are rather old ... but most are still going! I think I got the most recent collection of them in 2009.
I would be thrilled if I stumbled across a collection of them here in Australia!!
