Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
As Smartwool states on their packaging, these are ‘seriously comfortable socks’. Made from 80% wool, 19% nylon, and 1% elastic, the Smartwool Merino fibers provide incredible efficiency in wicking away sweat and water, as well as maintaing an uncanny ability to control odor . The socks are versatile in providing superior regulation of body temperature by keeping feet plenty warm in the winter, and they were clockwork while we trudged through a significant amount of snow in the Colorado front range. These socks were built with extra heavy cushioning in mind, a feature that is a must when challenging yourself on a winter mountaineering ascent Color and size options are abundant, and for [$]retail, they may seem pricey but your feet will be thankful that they were wrapped in these babies.

Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
I bought a pair of these with the expectation that I would need a sock change on a 2-day climbing trip. I was wrong. I wore these the entire time, and was comfortable the whole way. No blisters or hot spots, nice cushion and high length adds a bit of warmth. These are a bit pricey but if you wear them for days on end, you want a sock like this that can go the distance and keep your feet feeling good.

Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
I have tried others but these are the only socks I will use for mountain climbing. They are very warm and provide great padding. They dry fairly quick for a wool sock. My climbing boots do not have any insulation so a warm sock is very important for me. The price is a bit high but they are well worth it.

Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
I've had these socks for a few years now and use them quite heavily year round. They continue to be everything they were the day I bought them. You might think the price tag is a bit hefty, but when they last through several generations of other socks, you'll see where your money went.

These are awesome socks, and they last forever. In addition to being comfy and stink-free on top of big mountains, they are also a perfect replacement for slippers around the house.

Great sock, but you need room in your boot for such a thick sock.

Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
I have worn these socks on a daily basis in Danner
work boots summer and winter, and inside a pair of White's Pac-Boots in extreme cold conditions for the last 5 years while working in the forest. I wear a fresh pair each day, and with weekly washing they have held up great.I keep about 6 pair on hand, and I have only had to replace them about every 18 months on average.Drying them in the dryer takes a toll on the elastic in the upper part of the socks over time.They are a lofty sock and wick moisture away from your skin in hot or cold to keep your feet comfortable, and
give additional cushioning to your feet.

Comments about SmartWool Mountaineer Socks:
I have tried lots of different brand socks over the years but these are the best. So they may cost twice as much as other socks but they last 3 times as long as regular cheap socks. They will keep your feet warm, dry and have lots of cushion.
