Hey guys,

Went with a more performance-oriented fit on my boots this year and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for some ultra thin socks that still provide solid warmth.

I like mine. Worn them in varying temps but nothing super cold. Still look decent after alot of use too.

I am a bootfitter and the bridgedale race and ultrafit are great. The really thin smartwoll sock is great as well.

I just got some dissent lab socks. Haven’t been able to ski them but just by wearing them around the house they feel warmer and more durable than my go to smart wool phds.

those thin white Smartwool socks are great, cant wear them any more though cuz of foot circulation issues in the left. this sounds crazy but womens socks are also kick-ass.

Le Bent. The bamboo/merino blend they use is softer than anything else mentioned above. Their cody townsend sock is awesome, has small bits of rubber where ya need it to hold everything in place.

Whatever you do don't support Stance, their focus is the general public and not skiers.

Yeah we carried those in the shop last yer since it was part of the whole package. Nothing wrong with the socks, but the brand really doesn't use skiing as any actual influence and I/we personally prefer to support brands truly within the industry. Stance makes socks for MLB, so they have plenty of support through other outlets.

I have been wearing these for years. REI used to sell this sock under their own name, and i bought them originally from there. However REI changed their liner sock supplier and the "liner sock" became a bit thicker.

It took me a bit but I found these and they are the exact same sock I fell in love with.

Ultra thin, and soft. Great for a performance fit. Originally I intended to only wear these until my boots packed out a bit. But they became my go to. Sometimes I even wear them with regular shoes.
