Used Thorlos happily for years, but after getting a set of Bridgedales to review (see http://www.mtn.co.uk/reviews/bridge1-1.htm) I'm converted: they're really very good indeed. The GTX models are designed specifically with keeping the overheating and sweaty aspect of Goretex lined boots under control, so may be well worth a look. Even if they don't quite manage that, they're *very* comfortable in their own right, at least on my feet. I do wish the various manufacturers would make every model that currently has a liner in a version without one though. They're a bloody nuisance as far as I'm concerned, not only costing more but *reducing* my comfort level, and if the liner wears out I'm stuck with sweaty feet but for no benefit. Grrrrrr...
