What is the mission of a hiking sock?

Seems that a lot of thought has gone into exactly what the purpose of a hiking sock should be, if the extensive descriptions on the package are any indication.

In my mind, I expect my hiking socks to act as:

👣 a barrier against trail debris,
👣 a wicking layer to absorb sweat from my vulnerable skin,
👣 a cushion against friction and to absorb the force of my feet striking the trail, hour after hour, and even as a fashion statement if matching your socks to your boots and hiking clothing is a priority.

That's quite a long list of "must haves" for a humble little hiking sock, wouldn't you agree?

In this Thorlo hiking socks review, let's see how these Thorlos delivered (or not).

Thorlo light hiking socks package
Every sock company has a proprietary blend of fibers to give hiking socks their fit, support and feel.

Thorlo builds this sock from fibers they've trademarked, called THOR-LON and THOR-WICK COOL.

Sounds like the "LON" explains the softness of these socks, while the "WICK" is behind the way my feet stay relatively dry and comfy in my boots.

Note that there is no wool in these socks. Merino wool has become an important ingredient in sock design, favored by companies other than Thorlo. If wool is not for you, then take a good look at these socks.

Currently all the Thorlo socks are on sale 25% off when you purchase 2 or more!
