MajaO, here's another one who happily puts them on.

Hello MajaO and Loni,
where do you get those compression calf sleeves? I'm also looking for something that wouldn't "bunch up" in the shoes. And if they're also compatible with Hanwag gojzer boots it would be perfect, because I got them too.
Thanks and best,
Saša

Thanks for the quick info legenda and MajaO,
I'll order them, try them and hope they work for me too. I really hate those vague sock sizes 35-38, which even though the owner has size 39 foot, but unfortunately narrow, without high instep, are way too big and cause "bunching" in the shoes. I hope this compression will help keep the socks in place. I'm starting to lose patience a bit, but hope dies last.
Same with shoes, everything always slipped on my foot, then on Maja's recommendation on this portal I tried Hanwag. And I dare say that's it.
And one more thing: just for fun last year I bought a partially functional "fuzzy" shirt for 5.00 € in a sports store. I won't give it up anymore, I've never worn anything so pleasant in cold days. At the end it's of course wet on the back, so what, functional clothes are too. You simply change it for a dry "fuzzy" shirt.
Have a good time, best, Saša

AGP PRO in Kranj, which also has CVX socks, more expensive are CEP ones (VIK Tržič), you can get them (don't know exactly which brands all) also in Tomas Sport... There's more and more of that. I also have these calf socks http://www.nogavice-cep.si/tek/nogavcki, because compression socks can sometimes be a bit fiddly to put on, and in the mountains I like to take them off during breaks  At first I got them for longer runs, now I mostly use them just for the mountains.

@maja
I ordered them, but they're too big for me, unfortunately no smaller than S

I agree with Viharnik that Brynje underwear is very high quality. I got myself a Brynje multisport T-shirt and tested it last weekend. Despite the great heat and my sweating, the skin under the shirt was dry. The feeling is really pleasant, which doesn't apply to some other shirts, despite established "brands".

Which socks do you recommend for those who wear slightly lower socks? Normal length I mean

I'm interested in how a mountaineer should equip himself for a winter ascent to Roblek or similar ascents. I'm especially interested in what to wear? What jackets and pants do you recommend? Are softshell jackets okay? lp

Depends on what kind of winter it is, dry, wet,  Anyway, we dress like onions.

Yes, say it's snowy. I'm asking so that the shopkeepers don't accidentally rip me off.....lp

Hiking pants, long ones, the same as in summer. If it's cold, put on long thermal underwear underneath, and if it's wet, put on thin waterproof windproof pants made of Goretex or similar material over them.
The softshell jacket should be windproof and water-resistant, better thin than (too) thick. That way you can use it all year round.
Underneath, an active long-sleeve shirt and over it a medium-thick fleece or stretch.
And in the backpack, a thin (similar in purpose to pants) windbreaker, Goretex or similar.
Plus two pairs of gloves and a hat and obligatory gaiters.
(I always have a 200g thickness fleece vest in my backpack and it works great if it gets cold or windy)
That's it, very roughly.

You're asking up to Roblek? You don't need anything special. Just dress warmly. Some jacket, even a ski one is fine if you don't have anything else (its problem is only that it's very thick single-layer - so the issue might be that it's either too hot or too cold for you), underneath dress as usual/in summer, and maybe a sweater or fleece in the backpack if it's really cold (or put it on instead of the jacket for an in-between option). As for pants, it doesn't matter, up to Roblek you won't be wading through knee-deep anyway, so they don't even need to be waterproof. Take the same ones you hike in summer with (well, not shorts...). Yeah, but you really need gaiters. All that should be plenty enough, unless it's really very cold. But then I doubt you'd feel like going up anyway. Oh, I forgot. Hat and gloves, definitely. And sunglasses, if not really necessary in summer, they are in winter.
Of course, with a slightly better jacket (I have a lined Mammut one and it's great) you can make life much easier. But for the first time, this is enough too.

http://www.inlinehockeydiscount.com/swd-hooded-soft-shell-jacket.html Would this jacket be ok? I got it in some hockey raffle. Underneath I'd put an active long-sleeve tee and fleece. For pants I could buy Milo ones, for starters maybe some tracksuit pants with ski thermals underneath. Can the reserve windbreaker be a regular anorak? I have gaiters, hat and gloves too. lp

All you need to know is that even if you're freezing like a dog at the start  , after a quarter hour of uphill walking you'll be sweating. It hasn't happened yet, not even at minus ten and below, that I hiked uphill in a jacket, any kind. Exception only if there's wind, then different rules apply. You'll take the jacket off soon and walk just in shirt and fleece. And I hope you have a thin fleece, because if not it'll be too hot even in fleece.
The problem with cotton tracksuits is only that once they get wet, they don't dry easily. Milo pants will be just fine. Anorak by my experience suffices completely if there's a thicker fleece underneath. Important is just that it doesn't blow through.

Does anyone use merino wool underwear? Is it worth buying, does it insulate even when wet or what's up with that?
Thanks!

No underwear insulates when wet, the point of active underwear is that it dries much faster than cotton because it wicks/transfers moisture to the outside.
The advantage of merino underwear is that it feels better on the skin (natural, like cotton) than plastic active underwear. Another big advantage is that after intense sweating it doesn't stink like regular active shirts and you can wear one shirt on a multi-day trip without suffocating in your own stench. Of course it's smart to have two, so you can change if the one you're wearing is soaked.

Wool, even when wet, still gives warmth to the body and works well on energy flow and overall well-being. Polyamide is good for day trips with lots of sweating.
Products from wool and cotton are coming back into focus from the past and price-wise not much more expensive than synthetic materials made from recycled bottles.
