Merino Wool Ski Socks, Cold Weather Socks for Snowboarding, Snow, Winter, Thermal Knee-high Warm Socks, Hunting

I ski in the West 40 - 50 days/year and own more than 25 pairs of ski socks, some wool and some non-natural fibers. After skiing on these Merino wool blend socks for three days, I would say they are as high quality as any of my other ski socks, which include Smartwool, Stance, Wigwam, Burton, Darn Tough and other mainline brands. They are quite tall, reaching fully up to my knee, and they have a lot of compression and seem very unlikely to slip down my leg. Despite the description referring to targeted cushioning, I would consider them 'full cushion' socks as they are reasonably thick everywhere and don't really have any portions of the sock that seem materially thinner than any other part of the sock. (They are not thick in some places and thin in other places like some ski socks.) The material that runs along the shin seems slightly different (and slightly less thick) than the rest of the sock. This may make them more resistant to wear under the constant back and forth pressure the shin area of the sock encounters during skiing (just a guess), but for me it did not affect the comfort of the sock even under aggressive skiing. I bought the Camo color and find that design very attractive in all of the three colors. In the three pack, they are less than $10/pair, which is about a third of the cost of Smartwool's ski socks. Although neither the packaging nor the text on the Amazon page lists the percentage of wool in the sock, there is one photo that indicates the socks are 31% Merino wool. While that is similar to the Merino content of many wool ski socks and less than the Merino content of a few others, I found these Hylaea socks soft and quite warm. If I didn't already own way more socks than I will ever need, I would buy three more pairs.

For inexpensive wool socks these have worked better than my expensive smartwool socks for keeping my feet warm while skiing and staying up on my calves without sliding down. They seem pretty well made and the padding on the shin is not too thick so I dont notice it under my boots. They are about as thin as my other ski socks which is critical for a tight boot fit.

My husband and I wore these while working 8-10 hour shifts as a delivery driver with Amazon and these WORK! We had a pretty big snow storm recently and these definitely kept our feet warm and... no wet socks! yay! the quality is really good and they're pretty soft. they go up to right under my knees and they're pretty tight so they feel like compression socks as well which is a plus! compared to a lot of my other socks, I really like how they don't fall down or anything. They're a little pricey, but so worth it!

These socks are extremely comfortable. I have worn them about 10 times skiing and they keep their shape and do not stretch out. I might add, they keep my feet nice and warm. My main reason for ordering these socks was because they advertise that they had a targeted padding on the front shin. They have almost no padding on the front shin area. The padding consists of maybe two layers of sock material. Otherwise, than that, I wholeheartedly recommend this sock and will continue to use them. But like I said prior, they offer almost no padding for the front shin area while skiing.

The Hylaea Merino Wool Cold Weather Socks are a great find. They fit nicely, are made from high-quality materials, and the workmanship is excellent. They keep my feet warm in my Santa boots during outdoor events, even in colder temperatures. The socks fit comfortably up the leg to just below the knee, providing both warmth and support. For the quality, they’re an excellent value. Highly recommended—and I’ll definitely be buying more pairs to keep on hand.

Merino is magic! I can remember thinking “wool is wool right?!” I was wrong! I’m regretful I didn't know what I know now about quality merino wool especially when it comes to socks. I bought these to wear on cold weather motorcycle rides. I like the hight. They come all the way up and cover my calves. They are toasty warm without all the bulk so way more comfortable inside my riding boots!

Socks that Work, Feel Great. Wife and I Love the fit and especially the Support. We are using them daily in Sub zero weather in Alaska. They are nice and warm. I highly recommend trying these. I am going to order more.

Not as warm as advertised! Thought it would hold up during the strong Utah winter but no luck. Also very thin and not thick which might be the reason. Overall good for a mild winter but freezing conditions these are not good.
