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.
