Editor's Notes
November 02, 2019:
At this time, we've kept a range of unisex options as well as those made specifically for men or women, but not to fret; most of our sex-specific choices offer a corresponding model for the opposite gender. We opted to remove the WeiMeet Knee-High, as they've become hard to find, as well as the Eurosocks OTC, which are more likely than many of our choices to bunch or fall down. Instead, we like the anatomically designed Icebreaker Merino Ski+ Light, which fit well with no baggy ankles. We also decided to add the Darn Tough Vermont Function 5 thanks to their thoughtful padding. They even have a pad made specifically to keep buckle pressure at bay. And, finally, we kept the popular Pure Compression Thermal and Smartwool PhD Light. Both are comfortable and come in attractive color choices and designs, so you can find one to match your ski gloves or jacket, in case that's important to you.
