Very confortable socks! Don't be distracted by how thin these socks are; they are very comfortable and work great in Florida's cold weather. However, in really cold weather, I would not recommend these socks. I use them in the summer (FL), and they keep my feet fairly dry. Overall, EXCELLENT!

My Favorite Socks Although they are relatively thin, the Hiking Light Crew wicks moisture effectively thus helping to keep my feet warm even when I'm hiking in the snow. They look quite nice too, so I often wear them to work. In fact, they're always the first pair of socks I grab after doing a load of wash. They're quite versatile - perfect for summer day hikes or winter casual wear. I also like the spandex arch brace. It really does help to hold the sock in place.

Nice Socks I was concerned that these wouldn't be as comfortable as the thicker ones at the end of the day. They are! These socks have proven to me that the quality of the sock makes as much a difference as the thickness of it. I still love my heavier hiking socks but these work great too and work with my more formal shoes as well.

Great socks! These are perfect when it's cold and you're gonna be active and moving around. They are thin but very comfortable. They keep your feet quite dry and don't stink up nearly as quickly as regular cotton socks. If it's really cold and you're just sitting around though, I find them to not be warm/thick enough, but that's not really what these are made for.

marcia 2008-01-4 i bought my son-in-law a pr of this brand of sock a year or 2 ago. he's a person of few words but he wanted to know where i got them as he said how much he really liked these sox - they're the best! "the best of any sox i've ever had!" he works outside (in a cold climate); but they're comfortable winter or summer. "i can't quite explain what it is about them" he said, "they just FEEL good!" so i got him 3 pr for christmas 2007. i'll keep these on my list for him for future reference for sure.

I Keep Buying More These socks are so great that whenever I need more socks I buy more of these. Eventually they may be nearly the only type of sock I own. Along with thin liners, I wear them in plastic climbing boots. I've also worn them cross country skiing many times,paired them up with trail running shoes, and on cool days I wear them to work. They're very versatile and super comfortable.

Perfect socks These socks are my favorite brand and the light hiker is my favorite weight. I can hang outside in the snow all day or around the house and my feet stay comfy.
