Loading ...Your feet are perhaps the most important body part, besides your brain, when it comes to hiking, backpacking, cycling, and a number of other outdoor sports. If you mistreat them, they'll pay you back tenfold in pain. Keeping your feet dry and blister free will help you put many more miles down each time you go out.
WigWam has been making socks since 1905. So trusting that they know what they're doing wasn't a problem for me. But I am a creature of habit. Although I love trying new things, if I find something that works well, I usually stick with it. WigWam sent me a few pair of their new line of socks to check out, and I went into the test thinking "Well they're probably good, but I know what socks I like and these probably aren't as good." Well I have been known to be wrong, although rarely. Okay, maybe a bit more than rarely... 
I first tested the Merino/Silk Scout. For a company that is over 100 years old, they have kept up with technology well.
The Scout is a great sock. It combines traditional Merino Wool with Silk, Coolmax, Lycra, and Nylon to form a very breathable, lightweight sock. It wicked sweat well and wasn't wet after I took my shoe off later in the day. This sock is perfect for warmer weather hiking and cycling. I used it for cycling and was happy with the results.
After checking their website out I realized that WigWam has a wide variety of socks to choose from, including an "Adventure" category, which this sock fits into. I found the sock priced at $12 on Amazon. Normally, other socks in this category, at this quality level, are going to cost you much more. This is a great sock at a great price. I think I might add a few more pair to my wardrobe.

I bought a few pairs of the hiking wigwam socks for my Moab trip. I hiked in them for 9 hours and my feet never got wet and stayed comfy the entire time. They are great socks.
