When we redesigned the Light Hiker a couple years ago we knew we were messing with one of the most popular socks we had – pressure was on. 31 or so prototypes later and we nailed it. Or so we’re told. Increased breathability with mesh panels on top of the foot, a new smooth ribbing upper that stays put forever, and extended cushion over the Achilles – just a few heavy additions to one of the lightest hike socks out there.
