How thick is right? seen 1.5mm and 3mm.

Knowing nothing about them i could do with some advice. Working on the premise that my feet WILL get wet but i can stay WARMer with these socks/gloves?

Look at sealskin socks.

Glacier gloves are 3mm thick. The pre-curved shape means they fit okay ... 1mm would certainly allows for a more natural movement but at the expense of warmth.

Can't help with socks sorry.

Are your shoes/boot big enough to take a 3mm sock without squashing your toes tight and ending up with cold feet due to restricted circulation?

I suffer from frozen toes in winter, and have just purchased some lovely neoprene toe covers from Snow and Rock (£6.99). I had seen something on wiggle for £20, so was very chuffed to snaffle an opportunistic bargain whilst lurking in Covent garden over the weekend. I've never got on with sealskin socks as I find them desperately uncomfortable. This could be the half and half measureI've been looking for!
