Description of SmartWool: Trekking Heavy Crew Socks 26531
If your future plans involve a traverse in the North Cascades or high Sierras, consider the comfortable SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew sock. The SmartWool fiber does a wonderful job of moisture management, quickly wicking moisture away from the skin as you work to reach the high country on the first day. The itch that is so common with typical wool socks is not present here. The super fine diameter of the SmartWool fibers feel soft and gentle against any skin contact you experience above the liner sock....
Read More...A great choice for summer mountaineering trips or other adventures involving colder temperatures, the SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew sock provides a haven of comfort for your feet. Heavy full cushioning surrounds the foot, a nice buffer to have when wearing the heavier, stiffer footwear usually associated with extended alpine excursions. The SmartWool fibers also have a lot to do with the fabulous comfort experienced in the SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew sock. They have a very small micron diameter, between one-tenth and one-third the size of a human hair, making for a very soft, comfortable feel. And equally important, these same fibers move perspiration moisture at a fast clip, even while still in the vapor stage so the feet stay dry throughout the day.
- Fabric content: 75% wool, 24% nylon, 1% spandex
- Heavy full cushioning surrounds foot
- 3 x 1 rib knit leg cuff provides excellent horizontal stretch and form fit
- Arch brace knit with spandex to hold sock in place and support foot
- Flat-knit toe seam and side panel
- Crew height: 6 inch rise above ankle

Comfy Socks These are definitely the most comfortable hiking socks I've owned. The inside lining is so fuzzy and feels great against the skin. I only wish they were a bit taller...might be a bit short if you've got very tall mountaineering boots, but should be fine with hiking boots.

Really Comfortable and not too warm socks I'm a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)member and needed a good pair of thick socks to wear with boots that hurt my feet. When I added the SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew socks--no more hurt feet! They are so comfortable and keep my feet warm without becoming too hot. I'm going to order more and would reccommend these to anyone.

Very good for cold weather hiking. The SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew is very capable in cold weather hiking. Both my wife and I have use the Heavy Crew in temperatures at and below freezing. Together with a quality hiking boot, these socks provide continuous comfort and warmth for both short and long hikes. The wicking layer keeps the moisture away from your feet, keeping them very comfortable.

Excellent I'm a delivery driver in a brown truck and I'm out in all kinds of weather during winter such as snow, slush, cold rain and these Smartwool socks are excellent. My feet stay as dry as possible and my feet never get too hot. The wool is very comfortable, durable, easy care and I never get blisters. The best all around socks for cold weather.
