    Thanks for the link. I just ordered two pairs and the discount code still worked.
    Pain is a by-product of a good time.

    Sent my pair of Darn Tuff in after they developed a hole. Got a new pair in the mail a few weeks later. Very happy with them!

    OUCH... here's the only posted review: "I love your boxers and was so excited to find out you made sock as well. What a disappointment! They piled on the first wearing, slide down to my ankles and are not “wring and dry” like the boxers…which, as a road warrior, I was really looking for. These socks are not worth $22.00 a pair by any stretch. I bought 4 pairs and really wish I had my $100.00+ back."

    OTOH, you don't treat all your socks with Permethrin?! I do!!!

    I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for those that send back dirty socks.

    I actually own a pair of the ExOfficio insect shield socks so here's a 2nd review. I haven't experienced any of the problems listed above. Don't wring and dry like boxers? Well duh, not made of the same material as their boxers. Only worn them several times so I can't speak to how well they wear but I haven't had any chigger bites.

    Oh I'm sure there is, and that I'm screwed. Can I use the excuse that I was thru-hiking, hadn't done laundry in weeks and needed to leave town within the hour? Probably not good enough. Either way, sinners are much more fun...

    I bought my first pair in Delaware Water Gap. Now I wear them every day year round. I throw them in the wash and drier with no special care. They seem to be perfect. Sockaddict has great prices. Why can't other products be this nice?

    I got my feet ate up by chiggers once hiking in mesh runners with thin wool mesh socks.
    Ever since, always treat shoes and socks with permethrin.
    No more problems.

    wearing darn tough ankle mesh running/cycling socks right now 1.75 oz
    about the same as my DeFeet wooleaters, cuff on the darn tough is a bit taller, but a good sock.

    (I only use thin socks with no padding, its simply not needed if footwear fits, and it holds moisture.)
