Review on Smartwool Light Elite Black Size 12-14 Men's 5-inch by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First new ski socks in 30 years

Ski socks last a very long time. I haven't updated mine in 30 years because they work and they were very flimsy. These are better! I am very happy with how they fit and how they stay in place. Merino wool is of course best suited for socks and wicks away sweat perfectly. Very glad I bought them. I hope they last another 30 years. I have just skied 3 days in a row and they have held up very well. Another great property of merino wool is its antimicrobial effect. It should be noted that they are quite tight on the calves. I hope they expand a bit over time. I'm a big guy and my calves are 19 inches for the record, which happens to match my biceps. If your calves are as big or larger than mine, this may not work for you.
