    I've been using the dagger and just picked up the hornet. So far so good. I had the original dagger which did indeed sag a bunch and wet through, and I have noticed a definite improvement with the Oslo. Haven't gotten wet yet

    Wool sock recommendations?

    I end up wearing Injinji liners with individual toe pockets stitched in. Used to get bad toe blisters and they work great. I use the hiker darn toughs.
