I like using Wright Socks. They are a double-liner sock which helps wick moisture away from the feet. I carried two pairs with me, wearing one while the other was hanging off my backpack drying or airing out. Perhaps the dirty socks hanging off my pack were also a bear deterrent. The problem is they are only good for about 250 miles--then they are full of holes. I would have new pairs shipped to me in my re-supply.

I read in Yogi's book about the desert kind of grinding up socks....how many
pairs do you take with you in the desert? is this a real problem?
I have 5 pair that i would wear hiking in the summer. i was thinking about
taking 3 pair with me, they are small. or should i plan on my socks getting
ravaged.
also, i am wearing the merrell waterpro ultra sport....lots of mesh, you can
feel the wind on your feet...so this may let more sand/dirt/sock grinding
material into my shoe....
thanks.
