Whether your hike is a short Saturday morning getaway or a multi-day go-light excursion, the SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock cares for your feet every step of the way. The unique SmartWool fiber is the primary comfort component. These fine micron fibers not only have a very soft feel, they also wick moisture rapidly to maintain a dry environment inside the boot. Other comfort features include a flat-knit toe seam to assure a smooth surface against the toes and a ribbed leg cuff offering excellent horizontal stretch for a more comfortable form fit. The SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock's dedication to foot comfort is further demonstrated by the inclusion of sole area cushioning and a spandex reinforced arch brace that holds the sock in place and supports the foot.
Great socks!
I bought these socks for my husband and he absolutely loves them! He works in a machine shop which was well over 100 degrees in the summer, and these socks kept his feet cool and dry. Now I'm going to buy him the heavier ones for the winter months.
The best
Smartwool makes the best outdoor socks I've come across and the light crew is my pick for year round use. They're comfortable, durable, keep your feet dry, and they don't bunch up. Any time I bought another brand to save a few bucks I regretted it.
Happy Feet.
Very comfortable. Kept my feet cool and dry on hot days and warm during cooler treks. Highly recommended.

Best socks ever!
My son discovered these socks while thru hiking the Appalachian Trail in 1999. Since then all of the men in my family are wearing the Hiking Light Crews for everyday, all seasons. Smartwool also makes the best ski socks as well.
Great Socks !
I just finished a one week desert survival course and these socks did the job. We were hiking 15 miles per day and my feet were fine. My feet were very thankful I was wearing them. If you're thinking of buying them you will be happy you did.
Best socks I've ever owned
I'm very impressed with these socks; they are so comfortable. I've used them for hiking and for everyday wear and they are fantastic. They feel smooth and dry all day long. They seem to regulate the temperature just right. The only downside is the cost. I definitely recommend.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
Best socks EVER!
Great fit, super comfortable;these socks are so superior to regular cotton socks because the inner lining keeps my feet warm and dry. Highly recommended!!!
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.
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.
