Hiking Socks Smartwool vs other brands

[PRDATR]

I haven't found anything that comapares to Smartwool for wicking away moisture and they don't get matted down even after having them on for 12 hours.

I have actually worn them two days in a row ( taking them off at night) and they just seem to go and go. I hate the high price though and while looking for better pricing found a company called sockcompanydotcom which has free shipping offers and good pricing too.

Has anyone found something better?

Lorpen is also good... keep your eyes on camofire they have them on clearance pretty often.

I buy 2 pair before every hunting season, so I now have a good supply. get them from Amazon.com. Its a little cheaper

I have noticed a lot of company's now make smartwool type socks. Lorpen are pretty good and the UnderArmour stuff is good for warm weather. I will buy darn tough socks next since I consistently see a lot of guys ranking these even a little higher than Smart Wool.

I like Lorpen, but the outfitter series sock from Cabelas are really good too. I like the padded shin area they have, I little bit more protection from the cat claw...
