Thorlos Socks for Cold Weather

Thorlos are probably one of the most popular socks you'll find. Thorlos are especially popular for hiking, backpacking and active summer use (the 'coolmax' line of socks are idea to prevent "stinky feet" in hot weather). However, some styles of Thorlos are suitable for cold weather use, too.

In particular, the Hiking Wool/Thorlon sock is a very suitable sock for winter weather. While this sock isn't as soft or snuggly as SmartWool socks are, these socks still do the job in keeping your feet warm during cold weather - even during periods of heavy exertion (such as when you're out hiking or hunting). This sock is for both men and women.

Thorlo Hiker :This is the warmest sock Thorlos makes. Works well for cold weather and winter-weather activities, such as hunting. A good substitute for SmartWool socks if you don't mind that these socks aren't as soft.

Other Thorlos Sock Styles

Thorlos, unlike Smartwool, is more known for "specific activity socks." Thus, Thorlos has a full line of socks designed for running, tennis, casual wear, hiking, etc...

All these styles of socks offered by Thorlos is more than a marketing gimmic. While I much prefer Smartwool socks for winter weather use, for summer use I wear Thorlos walking crew socks exclusively. Why? Simple - Thorlos this sock allow the foot to perspire, keeping the foot cool and "stink free." Ever since I started wearing this great sock (combined with a breathable running shoe) during the summer, all foot smell problems have disappeared, my foot has been cooler and never has seemed "slimy." If you want a good all-around use "summer sock," you'll be hard pressed to find a better one.
