I've trusted the men's version of these socks for years now. They are tough but comfortable and you can't beat getting a free replacement pair if you wear a hole in them. With the amount of all season hiking I do I've never even had a snag in a pair. If you are in the back country don't leave home without a pair of these. There are both reserved, colourful and cheeky designs so they can be for any type of hiker.
