I’ve put these sox thru the wringer over the last month and they’ve held up and really impressed. 2 days of lift access mountain biking in Vermont where they served as all weather (rain) gear and shin/calf protection from sharp flat pedal pins (small tear in sox, no tear in calf). 10 days of cross country mtn biking in NH and in Massachusetts including inclement weather, mud and many trips thru the laundry. Bonus: knee highs in solid light color help me find and remove ticks before they bite me. Add to that 2 days of hiking and a 6 day backcountry canoe camping tour including 12 miles of portage. These were a critical part my fast/light backcountry travel kit allowing me to travel, paddle and fish in sun and in heavy rain, including lining my boat thru the shallows and getting in and out of the water in combination with sport sandals to allow for relatively warm and comfortable amphibious and efficient cross country adventure travel in the Adirondacks. These sox have outstanding dry and wet weather performance. They stay warm when wet, can be worn over and over without accumulating odor, they fit my feet and legs better than other high end merino brands, cost less, show no signs of wear and are made locally from natural materials. 5 Star.
