Might seem a bit odd that I’m not talking about a lens or tripod, but when your up to your ankles in a cold North Wales river, the fact your feet are nice and dry makes you a happy snapper. This is even better when your in the car with soaking wet shoes and your toes are all warm and toasty instead of freezing cold.

They are even fine to wear in the summer as the merino wool liner wicks sweat away.

I’ve got two pairs and would happily buy more. At £20ish quid they may seem expensive for socks, but for me, having happy feet makes them worth every penny.
