The original and still the best.

Smartwool has come out with a few different lines of socks recently (PhD, Adrenaline, etc.), and while these newcomers are great socks and live up to the Smartwool name, they seem a bit unnecessary. The midweight hikers have been around for a bazillion years, and are the gold standard of the sock world. I have four pairs, including two that are still in great condition after a 40-day, 550 mile section of the AT. I wear them every day when it is cold. They are warm and comfy, and just make you feel good. On top of that, they are the best hiking sock available. They wick sweat, repel odor, retain warmth even when wet, and are very durable.
