“I am a hiker - have climbed all the 4000 footers in New England in summer, and this winter completed all those in ME, NH and VT in winter. So good hiking socks are a MUST. These are the best I have found for summer hiking. And they keep the ticks off too!!!”
“My husband and I have both had tick-borne illnesses and we live in the woods with a LOT of deer and ticks. We’ve both been using these socks for a couple of years any time we “muck” around in the woods - gardening, walks, checking the mail, etc. Last year we had 1 - count ‘em 1 - tick between the two of us. They are light weight enough to use in the summer. They seem to run just a little hot in the NC summer and humidity, but that’s a small price to pay!”
“I live in a heavily infested tick area and I walk a lot. Although I try and avoid thick brush, woods, and beach grass, it’s not always possible. These socks give me more confidence to trudge through these areas, plus they are comfortable. I appreciate the fact that they reach up rather high on my calves too.”
“I have been working outdoors since I could remember. I currently work as a land surveyor and spend a lot of time in the woods / swamps. Every spring / summer I would come home with chigger bites through my pants & high socks. I would spray unhealthy amounts of permethrin all over my pants / boots / socks. Ever since I have bought these lightweight hiker socks I haven't been bit by a single chigger. I thought I should buy medium weight because of how badly I get bit but it gets really hot here in South Carolina so I went with the light weight hiker socks and I do not regret my decision. I have wore them for miles through swampy woods and washed them countless times! They still fit perfect and don't slide down under my foot after a few uses like most of my other "hiking socks". They are just as effective now as when I first opened them! I only bought two pairs at first because I was skeptical but now I want a pair for every day of the week! I have told all my co-workers and friends who work or spend time in the woods / swamp! Try these socks! They are awesome!”
“After the first washing I noticed the color had washed out on one sock only. I used light cycle cold water and dried on low. the other sock was perfect no problem at all.
The socks are very comfortable and they are priced right therefore i would buy more if it wasn't for this problem”
