The Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew sock is more popular with our customers than any other sock that we sell. This is probably because it gets the compromise right by being thick enough to be nice and warm with excellent cushioning but not so thick that it is too hot. The high quality of merino wool used makes these socks super comfy.
Backpacker Magazine gave this sock an Editors Choice award for best all-round hiking and outdoor sock so they seem to agree with you.
The Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew sock is a good all-purpose three-season outdoor sock, designed for rugged day hikes or lightweight backpacking
