Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
I've worn these socks for several years now and love them. These socks are: light, dry fast, keep my feet from getting too hot, warm enough for above-freezing temperatures, pretty tough, and don't give me blisters.
Somehow I put a hole in one sock at my ankle bone; otherwise, I haven't worn any out yet.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
I got a few pairs of these before traveling abroad for 12 days. I thought I was maybe living life a little dangerously only taking 3 pair of socks for a 12 day trip (and also Dr. Bronner's, so I could wash them!). It was one of the better decisions I have made to travel so lightly!
They are very comfortable - I would wear these around to walk all day long and I had no problems with bunching or blistering or wrinkles or anything. They don't really retain smell, which was great news. They often dried out overnight just fine, however, they don't fully dry if it's a very humid environment - that posed a slight challenge when it rained for 2 days straight. But, once the sun came out, I put them outside and they dried within the hour.
I tried these on in store. I ended up getting size small because the mediums felt too big. I wear size 7.5 or 8 mens. The smalls were a little snug at first (the mediums were kind of baggy, which was not a great look for a sock), but they stretched out a little bit and now they fit perfectly.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
These socks are very comfortable, dry very quickly, and most of all, they don't retain smell! I've worn these up to 3 days in row and they are still almost stink free :)

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
Great fit in the heel, but the front was so roomy that I could have fit a few extra big toes in there...
They bunched up horribly, were uncomfortable to wear inside the house, and I never took them out hiking for fear of blisters.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
I'm a woman, soze 10 shoe. I knew from my husband's pair that a medium was too big, though the chart said I was a M/L. So, I bought about 6 pairs of the small. They fit well, except in my toes. There was too much space on either side of my foot and the front, making it bunch up in the back.
They are very comfortable though when just lounging in them. They last forever too. It's a nice investment, but maybe not for women, as some of my other friends have had problems. For men, I've heard no complaints.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
Bought 20 pairs of these back in 2006. I still have every pair and they are still holding up with no holes in them what-so-ever. They have a true fit to them and huge my feet just like I want them. I used to hate getting socks for Christmas from my grandma. I wish she gave me these back in the day instead of the knee-high stripped tube socks.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
My one and only pair of these socks have lasted through a four day backpacking trip through the Sierras and several 8+ mile day hikes over the past 6 months. Very comfortable, never got a blister, and dries quickly.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
They are just OK. The rise is pretty short at least more than I am used to. Main thing I noticed is that the PET tends to hold oders so they need to be washed frquently.

Comments about REI CoolMax EcoMade Quarter Socks:
I wear these generally in day-to-day office settings. Not the greatest indicator, I know, but I move around a fair bit, lots of standing and walking on hard surfaces.
Really impressed with these. Comfortable, but not bulky. They stay in place, and wick moisture effectively.
Recycled fabrics and USA construction are excellent qualities as well, but the sock itself is just an excellent sock all-around for warm-weather active use, or year-round casual use (indoors, or other less active functions).
