Backcountry Merino Hiking Socks

By Alex Gross November 29, 2010

I have many pairs of these socks and they have performed really well for me. I use them with a pair of Lowa Banff hiking boots and the socks are just long enough to be about 2 inches above the boot cuff. These socks keep my feet warm whether they are wet or dry, and they don't smell too bad after a few days on the trail. I bring two pairs and alternate each day wearing one pair and rinsing the other pair in a stream or lake.

They would get 5 stars, except I've found that they can fatigue and tear in the seam area on the heel that is just below the goat logo. The seem holds the two different thickness panels together and it can separate when you pull the sock on your foot.
