[pct-l] SOCKS

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Ned

I like smartwool socks very much. Concerning the socks, I found
several scientific articles.

Bogred et al(2012) carried out a randomized comparative study. The
BLEND socks (wool 50 %) stored 2.9 ± 0.3 times more moisture compared
to  the polypropylene socks.

The smartwool socks may be the best one.
