Lorpen Superlite Merino Wool Ski Socks - 2006

Extreme skiers in artic conditions need Lorpen's S.B.T Ski Sock. Made from a blend containing mostly Merino wool, the S.B.T. is knit in a way that this soft natural fiber sits close to your skin, and the synthetics remain on the outside for durability and moisture management. Padding and insulation are placed where you need them by Lorpen's awesome engineered knitting techniques. A seamless toe and 3D heel keep hotspots away and the sock in place when base-jumping off of the ze Matterhorn.

Bottom Line: !Le extrem soc!

SKi sock rocks

Good sock. Could be a bit warmer, however it was second day of use without washing and like 0F out. Sturdy, supportive and did not smell. Give it a 4 only due to price

I want more!

These are great socks! The first concern I had was whether these would tolerate machine washing & drying because I find if I have to handwash things, eventually they don't get used as much and I might as well not even own them. These seem to survive, wonderfully! To top it off, they keep my feet toasty and they don't cut into my calves due to being too narrow. I have one pair and plan to buy some more RIGHT NOW.

Superlite Merino Wool Ski Socks

By:
October 16, 2007

These are great wool socks for people who like to wear two pairs of socks with one pair over their calf to their knees. They are great on size!! and length!!! I am tall (201 cm)with long legs (inseam 36, USA) and my feet are size 14 (USA). Finding over the calf in size 14-15 is very difficult for me. Finding the Lorpen was a god send and in fine merino wool too. Have been wearing these socks on backpacking trips lately and they are holding up well. Now looking forward to wearing them this winter with telemark ski boots. I buying another pair, maybe 2 pairs, with my next major purchase.

greatness for your feet

These are great! They keep your feet warm with out needing a massively thick sock. Merino wool is just amazing and everyone should own head to toe merino wool. If it is a hot day these socks will keep you cool, cold days they will keep you warm. You will love these and end up wearing them daily
