Smartwool socks rule. I own like five pairs. I was at an LL Bean outlet in New Hampshire a couple years ago and they were less than half price. They were factory seconds, but I couldn't find anything wrong with them. I bought two pairs of warm toasty winter socks then. :thumb:

Smartwool socks are the way to go. I got a sixpack myself. Wool has great characteristics most people don't even know about. Dries faster than any synthetic or cotton and breathes better. Can keep you warm even when wet and absorbs odor as well(good for me, hehe).

Has anyone noticed the increase in ads in some bike mags featuring wool bike socks and jerseys?

They are like 15 bucks a pair! Use them with poly propyline liners and its even better. That is what i use for hiking.

My dad works in the sock industry( now thats exciting) him and his partners got some finnancial backing and set off to buy some sock companies. They came a few signatures away from buying the company that makes all of smartwools socks. I was so excited at the prospect of getting all the free smartwools and then he told me that they "decided they didnt want to sell"
