    I just run the thicker tradie brand socks form the warehouse. Day in, day out in work boots and when I get out on the hill and cant say I have a single complaint about them. Might try some fancy pants socks and see if they change my life.

    They look quite short. Plus if I don't need a semi to go hunting I don't need swazi either.

    This thread cost me $40 on my way home for work (Warehouse/Alpsocks/Nato). Want to see what I've been missing out on. I'll add it to the thousands this forum has cost me over the years.

    Most of icebreaker is made in Asia from what I'm told. Interesting if they're now made in US. Do you have a source?
