    It’s all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.

      My sister got me a llama wool beanie a few years ago, and I will sweat at near zero. That shit is WARM.

        Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There’s a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren’t 100% alpaca, it’s usually too hot.

        I have alpaca wool socks and they are just amazing. So comfortable and so warm. They were something like $22 for a pair, but they’ve held up pretty well and they’ve been worth it.
