Icebreaker

Lifestyle Ultralight Crew Sock - Men's

Typical high quality Icebreaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK, my only complaint about these socks is that they aren't as Ultralight as I wanted. I have gotten socks from Icebreaker in the past that were thinner, and I had hoped that these would be equally thin. They weren't. But they are, nonetheless, excellent socks.

The real deal: worth every penny on sale

I had never heard of the brand Icebreaker before buying these socks.. Only got them because they were on sale for $10/pair and they were a flat black color. I got 5 pairs. They are appropriate for work with business casual dress code. I recently started biking to work and needed something that would be warm, dry, breathable, etc. I have experience with other brands but these were half the price of Smartwool or Darn Tough. These Icebreaker socks are the thinnest/lightest of all of the wool socks I own. Basically liner socks, but still have all of the great performance and miracle properties of wool as all of the thicker/heavier wool socks I paid way more for. I probably could have got 2-3 pairs instead of 5. The odor resistance is great and they still smell/feel fresh if you wear them for more than one day in a row. The coldest day I have biked to work was 9 deg F and my feet stayed warm with normal sneakers on as long as I stayed active.
