I had a really sad moment this morning. I put on my smartwool snowboarding socks that I bought back in 2008/9 to learn to snowboard in and noticed that my heels were really cold. I sat down and looked, all the wool is gone, there is just elastic like a pair of tights, I could see through them. I’m wearing them for the last time. Rest in peace comrades you have been up many mountains and kept me warm and comfortable the whole time.
To sock Valhalla with you.
The elastic still held up really well, and the wool was still super soft and comfy. I would, and have, bought more over the years but these were my first and will always remain in my heart.


I recommend Minus33. Seriously high quality stuff (especially socks) that are made in New Hampshire, USA. They don’t offer Darn Tough’s warranty but the socks cost half as much when I last checked.
