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.
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.
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.

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

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

I mean, when I can hike at all.
