[pct-l] SOCKS

[Toby Maxwell]

Wrightsocks (can get at REI) are another good choice mentioned by my local
running store guy.  I have a pair but havn't tried them over long distances.
 They have a 2 layer 'blister prevention system', ymmv, but so far they are
comfortable and I will definitely be starting my hike with them this summer,
not sure if many people use them on the PCT or not though.
