These are another pair of Icelandic woollen socks that are part of the JB Fields range. They are also made from Pre-Shrunk Wool for easy care which is wool that is versatile as it keeps warm when in cool weather and cool when warm. Also the fibers act as pockets of air to insulate naturally, this way you will stay dry and will not feel chilled because the wool takes away moisture from the feet. They are made of 85% Pre-Shrunk Wool & 15% Nylon and are suitable for extreme weather. This pair is available in beige colour and has extra warm wool cushion for added comfort. The price is around $27 to $28.
J.B. Icelandic Artic Trail Below 40 Sock
The -40below Artic trail is another pair which is one of the warmest socks that keep feet comfortable even in extreme temperatures. It has 85% wool and is especially suited for people who need to wear socks and keep their feet warm and dry in extreme weather conditions.

Those customers who are unsure of which socks to buy are advised to buy the Below 30 pair as they are much comfortable and softer due to the Merino wool that they are made from. Although the Below 40 and Below 50 socks will you keep you warmer inside but they were originally designed to be worn outside as rugged socks in boots. So know your usage before you buy Icelandic wool socks.
