Just to add my two-cents worth (gee I didn't know I had that much), Having been conditioned from my army days, we used to wear two pair of socks and had a dry pair in our packs and used to rotate (if operationally possible) daily. Did try Gortex socks on a water operation and were found to be wanting!, and there was much cursing.
Anyway, taking my military conditioning into civvy street I wear when touring on the bike/4WDing 'Explorer' (trade name by Holeproof Australia) socks which are a wool/nylon mix. When on the bike I also wear Thorlo (trade name) under the 'Explorer' socks, and rotate nightley with a spare set. This has the advantage of keeping a close control of personal hygeiene when on the 'road' and if the socks do get wet they dry the following day.
So endeth the thoughts of Chairman Macca :-)
