With the outdoor clothing industry booming the quality of products continues to increase as competitors compete to make the best. New synthetic fibers continue to merge with the outdoor market and have made a revolution in the packability of some products. However with this said there is a huge surge of natural fibers hitting the market and time is only to tell what will happen. I have three different socks that I will be testing in Europe and they are hybrids of the natural and synthetic fibers. All three companies are based in the USA and manufacture their Socks in the USA. One is made natural, one with silver, and one with copper. It will be interesting to see the effects of added antimicrobial metals. I will post the reviews after I have personally field tested the socks!! Here is a little more about each pair.
