By Ranked #1007 - Socks May 18, 2010

I am planning a week long backpacking trip to the wind rivers in August. I am considering getting these socks, but am wondering if my feet will be overheating in a heavy-weight sock. Would I be better of using a medium-weight?

Bring both. In that kind of area, things can get really hot and really cold, having extra socks is worth skimping on something else if weight is an issue.
