I also love wool socks. However, I’ve found that Smartwool does not hold up and I’ve been happier with DeFeet wooleators in the summer, and Woolie Boolies in the winter. I got the Woolie Boolies on sale ages ago from longcycle (they still appear to have them for $12) and they’ve held up.

I’ve also been wearing Sock Guy wool socks lately. They aren’t as good as the DeFeet, but I got them from Carsrcoffins so it’s in support of a good cause.

Don’t get me started about wool jerseys, etc. I’m still nursing along some original swobo jerseys and shorts.

Smartwool socks are available at your local REI, assuming you have a local REI, or other fine outdoor store. But how could someone live without a local REI store, that's what I want to know. I'm thinking a couple more links to a fine REI store and they might send Fatty some Smartwool socks. And yes, I too am a smartwool wearer. ;-)

everyone – you guys have no idea how happy it makes me to see that we all love the same thing (it doesn’t bother me at all that some of us like different brands: variations on a theme). i feel validated.

I’m with Mark from above on this. I love to wear Smartwool socks year-round. They offer extra cushioning for my road shoes, without having to mess around with extra inserts that may or may not work. Work fine with my more cushioned MTB shoes, too.

Moisture from my feet is taken away with these socks, where others just do not work as well.

I’ve always bought the quarter crew length (just covers the ankle) from sierratradingpost. Dark grey for me. Can’t tell they’re seconds. Who cares?

My biggest concern is that Smartwool was bought by Timberland last year. I’m afraid the latter is going to mess with a good thing and wreck the product line.

You fella’s keep buying those SmartWool socks; it supports our agrarian economy down here in New Zealand. I know that Icebreaker (www.icebreaker.com) is a little hard to get hold of in the US but they have superior socks/clothing even to Smartwool. And they’re rigously tested by me in the rugged mountain biking of NZ!

You’re spot-on, Rocky. When I wear smartwool socks, chicks dig me, my hair is more lustrous, and I feel I have the political power sufficient to remove the dictators of small Latin American nations with the snap of my fingers.

When I wear regular socks, gay prostitutes hit on me, all my hair falls out except for the stuff on my back, which seems thicker, and I find myself wanting to vote Green but inexplicably scratching out “Pat Buchanan” on leftover write-in ballots from the ‘00 election – the 1900 election, to be precise.

So yeah, I totally endorse SmartWool socks. They’ll make you better looking, and help you acquire mistresses, wealth, and unspeakable political power. And your feet will be warm.
