Best socks

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Hi,

I've read quite a few good things about the Darn Tough socks, including this thread, but it appears no suppliers are shipping to Australia anymore or are charging ridiculous prices for it (either over $100 per pair, or around $60 just for shipping). I've checked Socks Addict, Mass Drop, Amazon (US and Australia), ebay, REI, Camp Saver.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions on where to get these in Australia?

Thanks!

Review that may be helpful, this guy is a hardcore trekker who puts about 1000km on sock types to test them. http://www.frankrevelo.com/hiking/gear_footwear.htm

Costco has their woollen trekking socks in good supply and padding. Great price for a pack of 3.
Just move it!
