Both the Extra Warm and Exteme Warm socks are very comfortable and warm, I would recommend them for any cold weather condition. I was concerned about their thickness (they are very thick socks) and was concerned about how they would fit in my snowmobile boots. I was extremely pleased to find that they slipped right into the liners of my boots without a problem. These are the perfect gift for the Musher you are having a hard time finding a gift for! (Would you like my address, I could use a pair or two more!) The Dachstein socks are great to wear around the house. Richard H - Mr Sled Dog Central |

After wearing the Dachstein socks from Sweater Chalet, I would highly recommend them. The socks are extremely comfortable, soft and warm. They are high quality and wear well. The Dachstein socks are so comfortable, I have been wearing them as slippers. Maud H - Ms Sled Dog Central |

At first glance the bulk and size of the Dachstein sweater was overwhelming, I thought it would be way too big. That was not the case after trying it on. It fit very well and the sleeves were not too short, as I have found other sweaters to be. The one concern I have with the Dachstein sweater is that I am not used to wearing a sweater with such a small neck. But in tempatures of teens and below it would be a welcome change. The neck is a bit scratchy for me - but I solved that by wearing a collared shirt under it. If you want something that will keep you warm and still allow you full mobility, the Dachstein sweater is a great choice. Richard H - Mr Sled Dog Central |
