    Question Socks and your drysuit

    For those of you that wear fourthelement drysuit socks like the Exotherm and Arctic do you wear socks too or just those?

    I can't fit any of the really bulky socks in my drysuit, just a pair of wool hunting socks. Not that you asked...

    Ditto - the 4th element bunch up and cut off circulation, and need a lot of 'massaging' to get them right. Good wool socks work.

    Also, the 4th element socks work great as equipment protectors, tho.

    I use the 4th element "double" socks every dive.

    I literally found a pair on a bunk on a dive boat two years ago. I asked around... nobody claimed them, been diving them exclusively for two years.

    They work great for me.

    I think Turbo soles are of the devil - so I have Neo socks on all my dry suits. I wear 3mm zip up scuba booties over them. These socks are great.

    I put on the socks first, them slide on my base layer (REI long undies), then get into my DUI fuzzies.

    Never a slump. Never a bunch. Never a circulation issue. Perfection.

    Love them
