So, did you get socks again? If so, were they like these?

Wynnster has launched a new range featuring an ingenious bamboo-based design. The idea is, it's good for youer feet and gentle on the environment, as bamboo is a sustainable resource.

The bamboo fibres mean the socks are highly breathable and work hard to maintain your foot temperature, cooling when it's hot and warming when it's cool. They're also anti-bacterial, meaning they'll stay fresher and odour-free for longer.

They come in small, medium and large sizes and are going for £7.50 a pair. For stockist info, call Eurotech Leisure on 01372 377713.

LFTO's Nick Hallissey is currently trying out a pair. He says they're comfy and non-slip, which is fantastic for rock-hopping. He's not sure this is quite the right weather for them - they're not suited for extreme cold - but reckons they'll be absolutely perfect when spring breaks.
