Great cool-weather socks

By Matt Lutz Ranked #670 - Socks December 9, 2009

I have three pairs of these and wear them in cool weather around town and in the woods. For hiking/camping, they are my go-to socks when the mercury gets below 40F, but it's not so cold out to require full-on over-the-calf winter socks (SmartWool Mountaineering).

In two years of use, they have lost some of the interior padding due to normal wear and tear, but the padding is still there and the socks have not fossilized like a cotton sock or low-quality wool sock does.

If I had to change one thing, I would make the padding a little less on the top of the foot to encourage ventilation.
