I am primarily a buyer of Swiftwick bicycle socks. I use to search the local bike shops in the winter-time for Swiftwick socks in size XL; they are very hard to find in the off-season. I never knew that I could buy direct, so I started to and I've bought over a dozen different Swiftwick design bicycle socks. Why? The Swiftwick bicycle socks are simply the best-constructed compression sock on the market. Period. So when it came to looking for some warm winter socks I starting looking into the Swiftwick website and found the PURSUIT HIKE Six Medium-Weight Sunset Peaks, in my sock size, and they were on clearance sale. Excellent! So I bought one pair to see whether I would like them. Which I did. So I bought another pair. At about the same time I was buying the PURSUIT HIKE Six Light-Weight sock; they were on clearance sale too. I had initially bought one pair of those, and when I received them and liked them so much, I bought all of the remaining PURSUIT HIKE Six Light-Weight socks that Swiftwick had in stock. At nearly the same time I bought 3 more pairs of the PURSUIT HIKE Six Medium-Weight Sunset Peaks socks. And a good thing too as soon after all of those in my size were sold out too! I have to thank Swiftwick for making a great bicycle sock, and for the PURSUIT HIKE sock to keep me warm in the winter and ready should I ever go on a hike!
