Silver socks reflect back 95% of your heat
Claim made by: rsa-shop.co.uk

"Invest in some silver gloves or socks (£9.95 for two pairs from raynauds.org.uk) which reflect back 95 per cent of your heat." - The Sun
"Natural pure silver minimises any radiative body heat loss by actively reflecting 95% of the body’s energy back to the skin." - rsa-shop.co.uk
Update 2015-01-16
I did not receive a response from the Raynaud's & Scleroderma Association (RSA). But the 95% figure was removed from their website. The archived version of their site, with the claim, is available here: http://bit.ly/1BC1iEJ
