@skinny - Agreed - you have to come up with what works for you!
But you still need somewhere to start.
@andy_k The socks are because I have irritable feet, and I blister easily so would rather have new socks on long days. I go for the trainer liner style socks rather than full socks when the weather is hot and dirt cheap thanks to SportDirect - they are pretty much disposable.
I think it's a good idea to allow one luxury item, even when you're racing - mine's usually a pair of Woolie Boolies or a dry pair of gloves... just don't get carried away...
