comfortable, but not for multi-use

By Ian Mangiardi Ranked #853 - Socks May 19, 2009

I have put many types and brands of socks to the test on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and these were one. They are very comfortable, but they just dont last long periods of time without being washed often. They get hard after a day or two, and after only 2 weeks of using them, there was a giant hole in the back. They replaced them for free as they have a lifetime guarantee, but if you're looking for a sock where you are going to be doing long term backpacking and don't have access to a washing machine often, go with the smartwool adrenaline series. Through all my testing, those have by far been the best for what I need.
