    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.")
