“Before the spring I stock up on these for hikes and gardening. Ticks often travel from the shoes up, so in addition to spraying my hiking/trailing/gardening shoes/boots with permetherin I like to stick to wearing these socks. Found they also do a good job of keeping the flying bugs away from my ankles and shins! When it is cool enough I pull them over insect shield leggings for full protection. I buy the white so I can see what has crawled onto my socks. (took off one star because I find that they are not particularly durable and last one long season before I have to replace them).”
