By Outdoor Dude from Boise, ID on 09/09/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Regulates Temperature Well Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the socks for everyday wear around town and some light hiking. They perform very well for each task.
By Raven from Seattle on 08/02/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Regulates Temperature Well, Wicks Away Moisture Cons: Does not repel bugs much Best Uses: Backpacking, Daily Use, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: These socks are very comfortable hikers, but they did not seem to have much effect on mosquitoes. The Alpine Lakes Wilderness can be brutal for bugs in July, and in the 10 minutes that it took me to get out the real bug juice, I had 17 bites. I always seem to be bug bait, and these socks may have had some minor effect on bugs, but not enough to rely on.
Love these- they repel biting bugs By Photographer from Boulder, CO on 07/29/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Design, Repels biting bugs Best Uses: Hiking, Wildlife photography Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Sitting for hours on end in the forest while photographing wildlife, these socks have saved me and my ankles from brutal biting bugs. Before I got them, my ankles were a mess. Now life is good. Also, I have found the lighter colors to be better. They don't seem to attract biting flys like darker colors do. For bug protection, these rock. The mid-weight is comfortable even though a bit hot on 90 degree F days. But, better hot than bitten up IMO.
