Review on Pairs Merino Heated Winter Thermal by Justin Ellingson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't think it's 80% wool. Still warm.

I'm not a scientist, but I burn tested these socks and it seems that the actual wool content is much less. Probably 20%, not 80% as advertised. I determined this by turning the sock inside out and snipping off a few of the strands that were sticking out. Then I used the firing technique to see what material it might be. Google how wool and other materials burn. Wool, like hair, is difficult to burn and smells like burnt hair. When wool burns, it leaves white smoke and an ash-like residue. On the other hand, plastic (plastic) burns easily, and a hard bead forms at the end of the thread. twisting. Try burning the rope and you will see the end forming a hard plastic sheath. Of course, conduct these experiments with caution and only if you are an adult and know what to do so as not to hurt yourself. I wish there were curious scientists who could do an accurate test on products sold on Amazon as quality control. The sock is very warm and fluffy.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
