Alvada Merino Wool Crew Socks

Cotton socks hold water and stay cold, which is why a damp round is miserable from the sixth hole onwards. Merino keeps insulating when wet and does not develop the smell synthetics do — the reason hikers pay four times this. Thirty-seven thousand ratings for a thirteen-dollar sock is an unusual amount of agreement. They are thicker than a dress sock and will make a snug golf shoe snugger. Wash cold or they shrink; that is the one rule and the one complaint.
