Great sock for tight-fitting boots

By Phil Santala Backcountry.com Employee October 27, 2010

Some people wear thick socks, and some people don't. I'm one of the don't category. These socks fit great and preform well. I don't wear them racing, I just like a light sock with a little bit of padding where it counts.

For touring these are light enough that I can drop a nice thin silk liner next to my skin to help with friction.

Be sure to dry flat for best results, but I just wash them on cold with all my other ski gear.
