    Good socks

    These socks work well for me, They do not provide as much cushion as my previous darn tough socks but they fit my new slightly smaller new shoes perfectly. And they will be replaced if they ever develop a hole

    A walk on the rocks

    I purchased these socks for a 3 week trip to the West. I have worn this particular pair three days in a row, hiking in Mesa Verde CO. They are really comfortable and no smell. I like these because they are a little looser and thinner than the other pair of Darn Tough socks I have. I like them a lot.

    Perfect socks

    Perfect socks! These are lightweight socks with a perfect amount of padding on the bottom. Been having issues with shoes being in between sizes and lightweight socks solved this issue. The padding is the same a my medium padded socks so perfect for backpacking. And a great deal on your website.

    Great performing sock!

    Perfect hiking sock for mild weather with low top hiking shoes or boots. Does a great job at wicking moisture while form fitting and never bunching up like other brands. Highly recommend and Outdoor Vitals has all the performance gear you need!

    All the Hype??

    I wasn't sure if these would live up to all the of the hype so many people were giving these socks. I can say that these are extremely comfortable, sized appropriately, and help keep my feet warm. I was concerned about the price being basically $20 a pair but now feel better about it. More socks to come.

    Merino Wool Insurance Policy For Feet

    I forded six streams on today's backpack trip, and my feet, though wet, remained comfortable, snug inside these Merino Wool blend light-cushioned socks paired with thin sock liners. I could buy other brands at lower prices, but I trust my feet to these. I'm paying not just for socks, but blister-free, comfortable days on the trail. ("Nice feet you have there. Be a shame if something bad was to happen to them...capiche? Me an' Merino—we'll take real good care of 'em for you.")

    Sleeve length help

    I recently bought a regulator puffy. Sleeve length is listed at 36.5" in my size. My sleeve length is 38". I am not fond of thumb holes and sleeves to my knuckles (shown in ad) so I gave it a shot. Sleeves come to normal jacket length and I love it. So if you don't care about thumb holes and extra long sleeves give it a try. I consider this a perfect fit.
    Enjoying my puffy
