Comments about Smartwool Mountaineer Socks:

Outstanding winter / expedition mountaineering socks. Smartwool warmth with durability and breathable. Only downside is if your boots are fitted for thinner socks, these will be too bulky and cut off circulation.

Comments about Smartwool Mountaineer Socks:

Great socks. I use them on everything from glacier slogs to ice to snowshoeing trips. With a liner sock, they are awesome. I can wear these with a pair of lightweight mountaineering boots and be fine on a Rainier slog. Very warm, awesome fit.

Have tried all major outdoor sock manufacturer's products, and none come anywhere near the quality of Smartwool. They're virtually indesctructible.

Great sock, but lacked warmth at times

By Skip

from Mobile, AL on 11/13/2006

Sizing:

Feels true to size

Pros:

Breathable, Durable, Lightweight

Cons:

Wears Easily

Best Uses:

Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Travel

Comments about Smartwool Mountaineer Socks:

I wear silk liner socks and was surprised that my feet were not toasty warm all the time. I found that at times, my feet were not cold, but not warm in ice and snow conditions on Orizaba. I will continue to use these socks since I do like their wear and comfort. However, I will take thick wool ones, just in case.
