Initial Thoughts on the REI Co-op Merino Wool Hiking Quarter Socks
These Merino Wool Hiking Quarter Socks are a bit thicker and larger than I was anticipating. While the description calls them out as lightweight, they are actually more on the thicker and warmer side. However, despite these being a bit large for my feet, they were still pretty darn comfortable. They are a bit thicker than my typical quarter-length socks, but with that – I could definitely feel the extra cushion and comfort out on the trails. Overall, I think I might prefer these for more leisurely outdoor activities, like camping.
