RBH VB Sock VS. Serius Stormsock as VB

Hi Jhaura. That's a tough call. First, there's no benefit from wearing a VB sock unless its really cold, below about 20 F, as explained in our article on Lightweight Footwear Systems for Snow Travel, Part 1 coming out tomorrow (Mar 21).

I would go with the RBH for a VB sock. The membrane in it is not breathable and would function better as a VB. In cold temperatures, little or no moisture would migrate through the unsealed seams.

The Seirus StormSock is WR/B and not seam sealed. It's simply not clear how much moisture moves through the membrane vs the seams, and no way to measure it. It has a great fit and would provide VB benefits in cold temps.

Hope this helps.
Best, Will

Thanks Will! Very kind of you to respond. I get cold feet easily even in warmer temps and have found wearing a vb sock helps warm them up and keep them warm longer than a thicker wool sock. I've tested this with plastic bread bags vs thick wool socks a few times.

Again, thank you for your info.

Peace,
Jhaura

Jhaura, I have the same problem with my feet (and hands). Darn Tough socks work the best for me. Darn Tough has a sock just above the ankle that would be lighter than the 3.7 ounce high top sock.
