Description of Patagonia: Capilene Silkweight Hiking Alpine Socks
Our tallest, lightest-weight socks for climbing and trekking in an alpine environment. The combination of Capilene® polyester inside with nylon outside speeds moisture transport and increases durability; a touch of spandex keeps the fit snug. Vertical channels over the foot dissipate heat, and the innovative, rib-cuff design is nonrestrictive and prevents socks from sloughing into boots. Excels as both a liner sock for extra warmth in cold conditions, or alone in hot and humid weather.

Favorite pair I have had these socks for over a year now and they are my favorite pair. I bring them on every trip I take because they are comfortable, dont hold too much of an odor, and if they get wet they are dry in minutes. Great for hiking, biking and even skiing.

Light and comfy Used them skiing and they were super comfortable and easily handled 30 degree temps. Have not ventured out in colder than that but I am sure they are fine.

High Light and Quick to dry and very comfortable--I returned them because I thought they were the "shorter" version. If you don't mind the height, these are actually great socks for daily wear as well as outdoor activities.
