Lorpen Merino Light Hiker Sock - 2-Pack - Men's

Better than Cotton, but MUCH better alternatives

By shank3r December 24, 2012

I bought 2 packs of these from Steepandcheap.com I must say that these socks are descent at best and only receiving 3 stars because they're better than run-of-the-mill cotton socks, but no where near as good as Darn Tough equivelent socks. If they were say 75-80% wool, I think they'd be a MUCH better sock. The biggest issue is that they don't wick moisture as good as the Darn Tough's which in turn makes them stink after a long day in boots just like a cotton sock, considering that wool socks typically solve the stinky feet issue.
