    Comments about SmartWool PhD Ski Ultra Light Socks:

    I've used Smartwool products for a number of years for hiking and backpacking, and have always appreciated the superior construction, durability, wicking and (certainly) comfort. I hadn't done much alpine skiing recently, so did not know about the "PhD Ski" line of products. Outstanding socks from every perspective.

    I need thin socks for my ski boots, and saw the Ultra Lights in a ski shop during a week of skiing over the holidays. I bought them, changed into them on the spot, and now will never wear anything else for skiing. My feet stayed warm and dry all day, every day (except for a day of 3 degrees with 50-mph winds, but the skiing was short-lived…though they were great at the bar as well =). Aside from skiing, I wear them as dress black socks for work on cold winter days, and they're also great for traveling, especially on long flights.

    I have a couple of pair of the PhD Lights as well – a bit thicker and warmer – and love those, too.

    In cold conditions, having my feet warm and comfortable makes all the difference. The PhD's have consistently risen to all challenges.

    Comments about SmartWool PhD Ski Ultra Light Socks:

    I started using this stocking for skiing and have converted it to all purpose, using it in cooler weather for all uses. It is durable but needs to be washed with care--do not use heavy detergent and do not use linen softeners. I dry these stockings on a very low temperature, just above ambient, and have had no problem with wool bunching.
