I am a pro-patroller at our local mountain ski lodge. Skiing a minimum of 4 days a week from November usually through April. These socks are thin in the right places and heavier where they need to be. They are warm, comfortable and transfer moisture well. The OTC design provides shin cushioning at 10 & 2 o'clock and no slippage. They are also true to size. If I could change one thing I wish the tops and circumference around the calf was a little larger. . . I do have larger than average calves so they are likely fine for most people and in the end they still work well for me. All in all a great product I would highly recommend to others.
I have been wearing the Unisex Smart Wool ski sock for 15 -20 years. They have kept my feet warm and comfortable skiing, hiking, walking or traveling. However these “Ski “ medium over the calf are too short. I am 5’3” and have small calves but these are too tight.
I use Smartwool Socks when I step into my ski boots. Rightfully so you definitely can't go wrong with Smartwool Socks! They are second to none! The fit is really good the cushioned areas are perfect as far as warmth they do their job and keep your feet warm. I recommend Smartwool Sock for any particular activity skiing,snowboarding,hiking,etc. I've very loyal to Smartwool ever since I first purchased my first pair which is well over 15 years I believe. There is nothing whatsoever that I have disliked about Smartwool Socks!!
I purchased Smartwool Men's PHD Ski Medium Socks because they were so highly rated with great reviews. I needed high quality socks that were warm, comfortable and the right thickness. Because these socks aren't bulky I don't have to struggle like I used to when putting on my ski boots that are snug fitting. Smartwool's realistic sale price allowed me to purchase six pairs of these socks. I can now ski with only one brand to have a consistent feel each day I ski. I plan to give away my old assorted brands of ski socks.
I bought some rei socks size 9 grey with rei coop on the toe. They’re tight wool and must be worked on so I bought large ski socks instead of medium. They are a little large and loose when I take them off I wish there was more consistency in sizing.
Unbelievably warm, yet light weight. Perfect under my snowboarding gear. Not too hot, not cold at all. Worth EVERY PENNY!
These socks are very warm in the toe area and offer a nice amount of cushion for my old shins
They don't keep your feet warm for long, they stay dry though.
Great sock but they constantly go missing. They normally end up on my mother's feet. Weird right! These socks are why I choose to be single so that I may keep my smart wool. If they could add a gps tracker on each sock, that would be great. All joking aside though, I won't wear another sock skiing. I was introduced 7 years ago and got two pairs. Both of them are still going strong. I now have 6 and refuse to wear anything else.
