Thorlos EXCOU Unisex Extreme Cold Socks

  1 of 33

  These are my go-to socks for most things outdoors. They are comfy for both boots and wellingtons. Warm for winter wild swimming, and winter camping. Hard wearing and easy to wash. Bargain!

  I first wore these socks in the early 90s and back then they were the best sock that money could buy. In my opinion they still are. These and the Thorlo TKX Trekking sock are the only outdoor sock I wear. These for winter and the TKX for summer. No other sock has come close to these in terms of comfort, performance and durability in my 34 years experience of outdoor activities. One word of caution. They are thick and if you wear boots or other footwear that peehaps have a little less room in them than they should, you might find your feet a bit cramped.

  Very comfortable & warm however I did not notice any difference between these socks & the wool & synthetic army socks I already own I was expecting them to be warmer given they are extreme cold weather socks. When I'm stationery for any given time I do feel the cold in my feet despite wearing these on top of more wool socks. However they are very comfortable & nice & secure round the calfs & don't come down like others. But for the price I guess I was expecting them to be better hence the 2 star Drop. I would recommend them for hiking in cold weather but would not recommend them when the temperature gets in the minus especially when stationery.

  They are THE most comfortable warm hug giving socks I have ever worn. You can feel the warm comforting sensation and that there is little chance of blisters either. I wish I could wear them all day every day. Quite simply buy a pair!

  Speedy delivery, lovey quality. In the words of my boyfriend (who I bought them for) ... 'Banging!'

  These socks have been washed several times now and don't appear to be subject to the shrinkage of other 'quality' walking/work socks I have have bought. I don't have a problem with sweaty feet, but have found that even when I do decide to wash them, it's not because they're starting to honk a bit! So excellent for extended camping trips when laundering is less easy. The fit is excellent for my feet - snug but comfortable. They don't slip down the leg and keep the lower leg warm. My legs are are not muscle-bound, but I wonder though, if stouter legs may find them tight? No problem for me though, and I will definitely look at trying out other socks from Thorlos. I must admit I've never been disappointed with quality USA-made articles of clothing or footwear, and am glad to have found about these socks from the Ray Mears site (try out the US-made Taclite/Tactical shirts; have bought two from Ray Mears and the quality is staggering). As before, delivery was ultra rapid with no stupid surcharges because of my post-code - puts others to shame.

  Well fitting and very comfortable, a product I can see lasting a very long time too.
