Microweight Over the Calf Wool Socks Mountain Heritage

I'm a winter climber who trains in New Hampshire. I enjoy bitter cold, alpine ice climbs. I bought three pairs of the OTC Liners to see if they would work well ice climbing. These are the nicest, thinnest, over the calf socks I've ever had. I've used and worn out many pairs of socks from other reputable brands. These are not the best for my application. In winter mountaineering, thin socks with modern boots keep many people's feet warmer and happier than thicker socks. These aren't super thin, but are thin enough that you feel everything inside rigid climbing boots. If you're a modern alpinist, looking for a thin, lightweight, OTC sock for use with high tech mountaineering boots, try Minus 33, but go for the next cushion level up to have a little more comfort around the heel and toes. I've used their base layers on 2000 mile thru hikes, to high altitude mountaineering expeditions, it's quality and I'll be purchasing more of the socks. I've encouraged many to try Minus 33, and everyone has had a positive experience. Great merino options. The competitors may have a generous guarantee for life, but I prefer a higher performing sock on committed routes.

Needed socks to hunt in 90+ degree weather. The mountain heritage micro weigh over the calf liner accommodated my need perfectly. The socks are my go-to socks for hunting deer in Southern California August heat.

I think I like this liner better than Darn Tough liner socks. It's a little early to tell. But I like the percent of merino wool on these. I would buy them again

I really like these socks. I’ve found it difficult to find knee high liner socks. The price is better than most and they feel and look if quality. I bought these for motorcycling. Will buy again.

I’ve put these sox thru the wringer over the last month and they’ve held up and really impressed. 2 days of lift access mountain biking in Vermont where they served as all weather (rain) gear and shin/calf protection from sharp flat pedal pins (small tear in sox, no tear in calf). 10 days of cross country mtn biking in NH and in Massachusetts including inclement weather, mud and many trips thru the laundry. Bonus: knee highs in solid light color help me find and remove ticks before they bite me. Add to that 2 days of hiking and a 6 day backcountry canoe camping tour including 12 miles of portage. These were a critical part my fast/light backcountry travel kit allowing me to travel, paddle and fish in sun and in heavy rain, including lining my boat thru the shallows and getting in and out of the water in combination with sport sandals to allow for relatively warm and comfortable amphibious and efficient cross country adventure travel in the Adirondacks. These sox have outstanding dry and wet weather performance. They stay warm when wet, can be worn over and over without accumulating odor, they fit my feet and legs better than other high end merino brands, cost less, show no signs of wear and are made locally from natural materials. 5 Star.
