Stoked to have found these guys. Independant outdoor store with quality products. The staff clearly have good taste. Love my mat, I'm a small sized male so grabbing the Womens large ether was a no brainer (extra r-value and shorter height with extra width). Got a good deal on sale too.
Didn't change these socks once on a 5 day Vic high country trip. Feet didn't get gross and had no signs on skin irritation and I wore them roughly 16 hours a day. I Completed around 50kms, socks got wet every morning from walking through the dew and puddles throughout the day...the pretty much dried while wearing them and certainly dried over night easily just in my sleeping bag.
Gave these a good nudge in the VIC high country for 5 days...could easily where these for weeks. Nice coolness in direct sun light, held up fine and durable when walking through nasties, didn't chafe at all and with the waist set up you get a perfect fit every time. Love them!
Forget camel backs and the gut wrenching leaking pack feeling...this is fool proof. If you loyal to a drinking hose on your kit, this is the best. Also...it's so much easier to clean and monitor the determination of a nalgene then a camel back. I love it!
