    I bought a pair of Possum down socks and wanted to know how I should wash them. I threw away the tag it came with by accident.

    I wash mine in cold water and hang to dry, the instruction said not to put them in the dryer

    Instructions that came with my socks say: warm hand wash, warm rinse well. do not bleach. do not tumble dry. drycleanable. YMMV.

    I do it in just this way when the socks crawl out of my backpack on their own and beg to be washed. (In other words, they're warm, but they are — like the gloves — a tad fragile.

    Trim your toenails — seriously.

    P. S. Love these guys for sleeping, but I wouldn't hike in them unless all my other socks were infected with the Ebola virus. :-)

    Thanks for all the info. I just got mine and I'm wearing them around the house to try them out before I use them out in the field. I mainly got them to sleep in since my feet always tend to be a little cold in my Marmot Atom sleeping bag.
