“I have been hiking and backpacking for decades, worn many different hiking socks, and these are my favorites. I purchased them to trek in the Peruvian Andes and they fit great, wear extremely well. I did not have any problems with insect bites in the short term. I do not know how long the bug protection will work, but the socks are worth the price even without it.”
“These are great for long hikes. Nice and thick. I always tuck my insect shield jeans into any and all insect shield soxs I wear when hiking, weeding, or around horses. Great for everyday, even in spring and autumn.”
