Merino vs Coolmax

By myoldog Ranked #502 - Running Socks May 28, 2008

These are the best darn socks in the world, no kidding. This particular light weight summer sock is fantastic for light hiking and especially bicycling. Darn Tough makes their socks with either CoolMax or Merino wool. It's your choice, but I find wool to be better than CoolMax, because it wicks moisture better and keeps my footsies nice and dry (unless I decide to swim in my socks)! I think CoolMax tends to keep the moisture closer to my skin, but maybe I simply sweat too much. Try both CoolMax and Merino wool versions, then decide for yourself. I made my decision 5 years ago and have never recanted. I love these so much that I sleep in them. Well, maybe that's just a bit of an exaggeration on my part. But just try 'em. Your feet will love you for it.
