    SmartWool PhD Graduated Compression Ultralight socks combine the performance-enhancing benefits of merino wool with recovery-enhancing compression technology.

    • New, improved SmartWool PhD socks feature innovative new fabric, a more comfortable fit and smart design details that enhance performance
    • 4 Degree Elite Fit System improves comfort; 2 elastics provide greater stretch and recovery to keep the socks in place
    • Ankle bands, upper instep bands, lower instep bands and arch bands connect to the feet for a great fit and feel
    • ReliaWool is a patent-pending reinforcement construction that puts more wool in high wear/high impact areas to increase durability and comfort
    • Performance-enhancing merino wool helps your body maintain a stable core body temperature minimizing lactic acid build-up
    • Your body doesn't have to work as hard to keep you warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm
    • Recovery-enhancing compression improves blood flow: oxygenated blood and nutrients return to muscles faster to help muscles rebuild and repair
    • Lactic acid is efficiently flushed from the lower legs providing relief from muscle soreness
    • Reduces fluid build-up that can impede the recovery process
    • 20 - 30mmHg graduated compression throughout
    • Virtually seamless toes offer durability and a low profile
    • PhD Graduated Compression socks have a 14 in. height

      Comments about SmartWool PhD Graduated Compression Ultra Light Socks - Men's:

      I've only worn these on one hike, but will be buying more. I am a women's size 7/7.5, I bought the medium I think (the label says what size to purchase, it was an accurate recommendation) and they were a calf-saver on my last hike.

      I had a bit of a calf injury, but still had to get in a training hike - thanks to these socks I barely even thought about my calf...I wasn't operating at full capacity, but they got me through a long day I wouldn't have been able to without them.

      I'm definitely buying more for running and even on cold days at work where I'm on my feet all day long.

        Comments about SmartWool PhD Graduated Compression Ultra Light Socks - Men's:

        I am an aging mountain climber. To maintain fitness, I've done some relatively extreme training - 9-12 miles on a trail in 3 - 4 hours kind of thing is weekly, with the occasional spurt to 16 miles with an 8,000' vertical gain in 5 hours.

        These socks are a life saver. Since using them, I've had no lower leg pain no matter how extreme the workout. On my long slow distance days, I can go forever without leg or foot fatigue.

        When climbing mountains, I wear these socks as a liner under the Smart Wool Climbers Sock. Great combination.
