How to choose the best sock for your activity

There are two main aspects to consider when choosing socks: climate and your activity of choice.

Climate  In cooler temperatures and wet weather, thicker and well insulated socks are recommended. In dry and warm climates, lightweight socks with moisture wicking technologies are the better choice.

Activity  Different activities call for different types of socks. You would not want to wear the same sock for running in hot weather as you would for hiking in snow. Sometimes the thickness of a sock can determine if it is the right choice:
Thin Socks
To avoid heat build-up during high impact activities such as running or fitness walking, choose a thinner sock with moisture wicking technologies such as LIGHTNING DRY or Coolmax.

Thick Socks
If you're looking for shock absorption and cushioning in a sock, choose a sock made of thicker material such as Micro Acrylic fabrics or even cotton.
