very bad idea. Any form cotton is a big no no. You want a polyprop. 
underwear top and bottom. The idea is to keep the moisture away from the 
body. Cotton absorbes it and keeps it there. I thought this was obvious 
but then, I guess, not everyone lives in -10C weather for 5 months a

Roger,
you are absolutely right. The material is very important for moisture transport
, especially on the first layer. I was not clear about the material, what I use
direct on the skin is called silkweight capilene t-shirt. My normal socks(
volumewise) are Falke Double dry, which I can use with normal shoes on the way
to the divesite, they use a polyester fibre for moisture transport.
Can you name a manufacturer and a designation  for the polypropylene socks?

Regards, Reinhard
