Socks you say? Socks?!? Well, what may be one of the most overlooked pieces of gear for most people happens to be one of the most important pieces of equipment you’ll put on before hitting the trail. A good pair of socks could mean the difference between misery and comfort. I admit that I’m a sock lover. I won’t wear just any socks and right now my favorite pair of socks are the Lorpen Coolmax Light Shorty Socks.

These socks are just the right thickness with just the right supportive cross-stitched fabric to keep a snug grip on my tootsies. I prefer a thinner sock in all my activities from skiing, trail running, mountain biking and jogging. It gives me a better feel and keeps my hot, sweaty feet as cool as possible. I’ve been impressed with the Lorpen X.B.T.F. Multisport Coolmax Light Shorty Socks. you can’t go wrong putting these on before your next adventure.
