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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Due to the high wool content, these feel a little rough when you take them out of the drawer and first put them on (especially compared to most socks that have a much higher synthetic content). That is soon forgotten. They have good support, don't sag and stay snug. On technical terrain, I notice the shortcomings of my boots but not these socks (they are actually better without a liner). We'll see how they do in the winter, but thus far they have been warm on cool mornings and stay cool when the sun gets hot and the trail starts to bake. To me, socks are like an airplane flight or a taxi ride. If there's nothing to complain about, then they've done an excellent job. Thats the case here since I forget which socks I have worn until I take my boots off at the end of the day.

use for work socks; I think instructions say not to dry in the dryer but we do.

too soon to truly judge this product.[...]

Better than expected. One pair smelled like incense, washing fixed that.

Very Comfortable.
