This. Merino wool is awesome. Merino socks about 3x the price of a normal pair of run of the mill socks, but I find the comfort, durability, and breathability more than make for it. One of the best features, IMO, os that I can forge straight through rivers without worrying about them getting wet because I know that they will be dry in a couple of hours, assuming it's moderately warm.
