Thin cotton socks. Not very warm and useless when wet.
In-game description

Sport Socks are a type of clothing in The Long Dark.

Overview[]

Sports Socks are a common starting item and are the worst type of socks; they also have the highest rate of decay of all socks (requiring them to be repaired more often). They should be replaced at the first opportunity. Their warmth bonus is so low that it makes little difference even wearing them, and they do not offer any other protection (e.g., from wind) since they are an inner layer clothing item (unless the player has no shoes).

Despite this, they may still be worth picking up, especially in higher difficulty levels, as they can be harvested for one piece of cloth, which can be used for fixing warmer clothing.
