Lorpen Trekking Socks - Merino Wool (For Men and Women)

Excellent socks. I bought these for cool weather bird hunting and used opening weekend in high temps. Socks worked very well at wicking moisture, feel very comfortable and appear well made. No rough seams, bunching or anything else. Can't comment on durability but their socks! Good buy and a good price.

Wow! Surprise of a lifetime when I opened that bag. I thought it was kind of odd that all three pair of SmartWools I ordered came on their normal card...but the Lorpen pair was in its own plastic bag. The quality of these socks is awesome as everyone else has noted...but holy moly, what an awful stench when new. I saw one reviewer noted that one pair smelled like incense--I could see where maybe this was some kind of crazy incense smell...but it seemed almost more chemical...if not deadly. Instantly washed them by hand repeatedly and I'm hoping they can be de-odored.

I wear them both hiking and at work. They are great socks and wear well.

Socks are too narrow to get on, and I do not have a wide foot. These are size XL for my size 13. Too bad.

Great socks. You cant beat merino for comfort in most climates. They get a little warm sometimes, but what can you expect, they are wool. They are very well made/ designed. I probably would not recommend them for summer wear though. Go with a thinner, lighter wool sock for that.
