Summary, in English
There is a clear difference between socks with various material thickness/weight. However, when by combining different socks the same material weight is reached then the effect of layers becomes obvious. Adding a layer of thin sock to each sock type increases more noticeably the insulation of thinner socks and the difference between the insulation provided by different sock types decreases. Similar effect of layers can also observed in the case of footwear.
