One of the best socks I have tried. perfect fit and do not bunch up or sag down. Good medium thickness for warmer weather, but still warm enough for winter.

Excellent socks . Great being able to buy XL socks for my XL feet.. I xc skied in -12C (training and racing) toes toasty, and dry . They are a great mid-weight sock for summer tramping too .

I’m hesitant to give 5 stars as I’ve only had these for 3 months. but I think they will deserve them very soon!
These socks fit, they don’t shrink or misshape and rub and are handling a summer so far of guiding and instruction in the mountains and hills. These NZ made beauties are well on the way to replacing my other previously loved quality socks starting with Bri…..le as the durable, comfortable and sustainable option ill use all the time.
Thanks ESS for another quality product that will standup to NZ conditions and abuse.

I don’t normally do reviews but these sock deserve it! I like the way they stay firmly on my feet, other socks I find bunch up or stretch around my heel. Not to mention they are quite durable and nice and warm. Thanks.
