Is this sock good for cold weather to 40-30 degrees?

This is a pretty thin sock. You may want something a little warmer. Is it for running or cycling that you need the socks?

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

I have not used it outdoors in cold weather. My basement area does get down to 36 degrees or so and there has been no problem at that temperature.

Nope. Better getting a set of mud and snow tyres if going to be driving on poor roads. The sock is a get you out of trouble device. It works well so long as you dont drive too quickly, dont spin the wheels and are gentle with it.

I wore wool socks all the time when I was in the Army. They were mandatory at a winter combat survival course I attended. These are definitely warmer than wool and are much less scratchy. Although you may notice that they are a bit thicker than other socks due to the layering of different materials intended to hold in heat more efficiently. But that's not much of a downside in my opinion. It was -10 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning and my feet were nice and toasty all day.

I don't think so but I love them so much. 50s is about the coldest I've tried them and was fine with my upper body layered. Don't think I would want to ride with much colder weather in these.

Hi Janet, I purchased these for my grandma; she said they are the warmest socks she's ever worn. FYI they're really, really thick so might not fit when you wear normal shoes. Might be best for home with slippers etc.

These socks seem to have a little more wool in them and because of this, are wonderfully warm in the winter. In fact, they are my favorite winter sock. I would, however, pick something cooler for a hot climate. In my opinion, Balega's are better suited for hot temperatures.

If you mean 20 below, no way will these work. If you mean 20 degrees, you may be ok if your activity level is high since they're rubber on the outside with a thin layer of fleece on the inside and they will keep the heat in. They have a good grip and are completely waterproof. Small containers may be an issue depending on what the container is like. Hard to say about that. My husband uses them for shoveling snow in those temps and was fine. Hope that helps.

You might be better off going with a lighter cooler sock for summer, but a lot depends on how much your feet sweat. Everyone is different and sometimes these socks are perfect for summer hiking for some. Hope that helps!

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

4. My dad is 74 and complained about his feet always being cold. He loves the socks! Nothing else worked!

I would not recommend for cold weather. The reason we bought them is they zip together and wife and I could zip them together and sleep like in double bed. Zipper is a bit weak but overall a decent price and worked for us...

I'm not a scuba diver but I can tell you that I wore these while volunteering for Ironman CDA where the water temp was 63 degrees! I spent almost 4 hours in the water and can say that my feet kept perfectly warm. The socks are pretty true to size. Hope this helps!
