I did experiment with the combination of the Injinji liners with the Drymax hot weather running socks. The Drymax socks are slightly thicker than the Wrightsocks and are therefore slightly warmer. I was a little surprised that the friction from the Injinji/Drymax was greater than the Injinji/Wrightsock. The Injinji/Wrightsock also seem to keep my feet slightly drier probably because they were cooler.
=Care of Drymax Socks=
Unlike conventional socks, even highly technical socks, these socks need extra care. Oils and body lotion can disrupt the Teflon layer. This happened to my initial socks and the manufacturer was kind enough to replace them under their warranty. In fact the manufacturer was extremely kind and helpful and I highly commend their customer service. I took great care of the replacement socks and even cleaned my feet with alcohol before using them as I wanted to give them the greatest opportunity to succeed.You can test your Drymax socks by turning them inside out and putting them over a faucet. When the water runs through the socks it should break up like it does on the right in the picture below. If it looks more like the sock on the left, then the socks have lost their water repellent properties. [[File:Wicking-v-Drymax.jpg|none|thumb|300px|A test to see if Drymax socks are damaged.]]
=Conclusion=
I would suggest that Drymax socks are probably better than any other single stock available. However, it is nowhere near as good as the Injinji/Wrightsock combination.
