Smartwool really *is* all that.

Why did you people never tell me this before?!

Smartwool?

It's gone to college?

How is it that you have never intersected with one of my googly-eyed odes to SmartWool? Because I do it all the time. If I'm wearing socks, they're either handknit by a friend, or their SmartWool. Period.

I do know the difference between their and they're. Really.

Clearly you are wearing the smartwool socks that belonged to a friend. :)

Smartwool, the perfect sock.

Okay, it would be the perfect sock if the hiking ones came in stripes and colors.

I know! I was at REI the other day and saw stripedy ones and went ooh, but they were thin and wussy and only technically SmartWool.

They had light hiking in fuschia and grass green at my REI, but ew. Ew.

The stripedy ones are fine for like, non-outdoors purposes. (After all, it is not always frigid, and sometimes one wants summer socks. Or running socks.)

I just wish they made the heavy duty ones also in phantasmagorical colors.

See, I like regular SmartWool for summer hiking, too, because I find the moisture wicking that keeps my feet warm in the winter keeps them cool in the summer, go moisture wicking.

I mean, when I can hike at all.

Oh, absolutely!

But I do things other than hiking. Like running down to the store for a half-gallon of milk in June. And the not-very-heavy ones are ideal for that, because they are not warm, but they breathe and wick just as well as the warm ones.

In fact, I'm wearing my SmartWool long underwear at present. I think my Expedition weight polar fleece long undies from LL Bean are a bit warmer.

I have not been able to convince my mother-in-law that it's hypoallergenic.

I have blistered with SmartWool socks while hiking, but nowhere as much as with other options.
