[pct-l] SOCKS

[Greg]

Axel,
I've found nylon socks wear like iron.  I used the same 3 pair on the 
Colorado Trail (485 miles), the JMT (218 miles) and will be using them 
on a 700 mile plus section of the PCT this summer.  I had very little 
blistering and they dry quickly when washed.  They worked well with two 
different pairs of trail shoes.  In fact, they outlast the shoes!

Good Luck!
Greg Bull
